This is a great smart watch. The processor is quite zippy (truly, no lag whatsoever). I recharge mine every morning while I am in the shower and have never had it die once. My first unit had charging issues but Pebble customer service was outstanding and within a little over a week, I had a brand new watch delivered directly to my home. I've had absolutely no problems whatsoever with the new unit. The color screen is surprisingly good--I wish they would port the technology over to e-readers. And, even though it is an e-ink display, there is absolutely no ghosting whatsoever. It changes immediately and it looks like e-ink technology has finally come into its own.
This is the perfect watch for those who don't want to run a bunch of apps on their wrist but would just like to glance at the weather, time, and notifications as they come through. The always on screen is an excellent feature that cannot be overestimated. You don't have to shake this watch to read the time. It's already there for you to see. This watch is perfect for glancing at texts (it lets you scroll through the whole thing with the exception of unusually long texts) and seeing who is calling without reaching for your phone. I also personally like that this is not a touch screen-- it means that you don't have to smudge your watch face. I imagine trying to use a device this small with a touch screen would be maddening.
Final points-- the profile of this watch is superb. Looks and feels like a normal watch. I went to put on an analogue watch of mine yesterday and was surprised at how weirdly cumbersome it felt compared to the pebble. That is one of the reasons I went with this model over one of the others. It is truly unobtrusive. Also, it's very easy to just hold one button and the watch goes into "quiet mode" and the vibrations stop. This is great for when you are in a meeting or at church. You can also schedule quiet times throughout the day automatically. If you take the time to really tweak all of the settings, you end up with a really unobtrusive device that is there when you need it and silent when you don't. I'll finally posit that it seems that the watch crystal is durable. I have bumped it multiple times and have yet to scratch it. (I recommend getting Best Buy's excellent replacement plans. They are a life saver for wear-ables which get abused by dint of the fact that they are on you at all times.)

I love watches in general but this one lets you change the face of the watch as often as you like and they are always coming out with different faces. It is very comfortable to wear. You can get your text messages. And you can track your sleep, also track your steps and get the latest weather forecast. You do have to charge it every couple of days but that's not too bad. I love my pebble!

I wanted a smart watch that was more Watch than fitness tracker or whatever and that was cheaper than an Apple Watch. It basically does what I want (watch with second hand for work and a vibration alarm so I don't wake up my partner). No real special bells and whistles. The company just sold to Fitbit anyway, so you won't be able to buy this. You're not missing much

Although I bought this for my wife and ended up taking it back due to the preference of the Samsung Gear S2, it is a good solid Pebble device. It was a bit on the dim side. I have used Pebble in the past and appreciate their software and simplistic design. The watch was extremely thin and light which is very appealing.

The peddle is exactly what I wanted in a smart watch. It is thinner then most normal watches yet ito is smart. I am able to pair down the notification to just what I want. I have to charge it daily but that doesn't bother me. It would be nice if pebble would offer a little stand/doc for it but i can just make something myself.

Our lives are so automated and tech driven. I was looking for something that would allow me to put my phone down in the evening to be more present while not missing out on the notifications I need to receive. This watch allows me to do just that. I still can see calendar alerts, calls and texts, but I'm only allowed to reply to texts through the mic which is a great feature that allows me to reply and then get right back to whatever it is I was just doing. Plus, it's waterproof so I never have to take it off. The display is clean, it tracks my sleep and I only have to charge it once a week.

I got this watch to make it easier to monitor calls and messages without pulling out my phone. Nice bonus to get the health monitor (steps and sleep) and weather. The overall size is more typical of a real watch. Price is much more reasonable than Apple watch.

This product provides all the functionality of your iPhone watch with a longer battery life. Has a few less features however how practical is it to talk to watch.

Slimmer new look for a Pebble watch, but...

I love Pebble watches mainly for their simplistic look, price range, and battery life. The Pebble Time Round has most of what I love about Pebble watches it is simplistic in both looks and usuage without making you feel that it is either under or overwhelming with what it has to offer. I like the look of the watch, but I felt the sacrifices made to make the watch thinner were unnecessary and a deal breaker in my opinion. What I love most about these smart watches is the battery life and not having to charge it every night or every couple days. Pebble is known for long lasting battery usuage of up to about a week and to detract for the sake of thinness just does not seem like a "Pebble" thing to do. The round design is great and makes it feel more like a regular watch rather than a tech piece. Overall I think they took a step in the right direction for design, but should not have sacrificed great features that they are known for such as 7 day battery life.

I own several smartwatches, moto 360 v1 & v2, LG G watch R, gear 2 neo, etc. This is actually my favorite. So thin and light. True alwaysbon screen. Actually don't miss the touchscreen at all.

I tried the Pebble for a day. It paired just fine with my iPhone 6s Plus and used the Pebble app to install some apps and watch faces. I like the overall round design as it makes the device more "fashionable," but due to my large (fat) wrist it's way too small for my tastes. Also one quality concern I had was that there was some dust getting or already underneath the glass.
Due to these two drawbacks, I returned it.

I love my watch. The apps and watchface options are great. The only issue is the battery that lasts for only a few days, but charging only takes a half hour to 45min so it's rather moot.
Great watch overall.

The smartest smart watch in the world..!

A smart watch is not a smart watch if the screen is always OFF, with my pebble round the screen is always on...I look at a glance, with out flicking my wrist, or raising my arm up activate the internal gyroscope....and I can see the time, my notifications, my calendar events...all right there....
MY Pebble is awsome because it is is simply always on, and the battery is better than the advertised 2 to 3 days, I have gotten 4 to 5.....
The design, well it feels like a vintage watch, it's so thin you can't feel you are wearing it, the buttons are crisp and precise, and the build quality is that of a fancy and very expensive swiss watch...
I love my pebble...

Bought this item as a Christmas gift for my wife. So far so good. She loves being able to track her sleep and walking activities, The downside is it discounts from the blue tooth on occasion. Overall Great watch for the money!

I was using another smart watch for about 6 months and really wanted to find something more lady like and stylish. The Pebble Round was the perfect choice! Excellent battery life, very light weight, very stylish and has great watch faces to choose from to match any outfit. I did buy another Pebble watch band for the summer (white one) and plan on buying more. Very simple to remove. With the added apps I can track all my fitness needs and sleep patterns and I love that I can see who is calling without taking my phone out of my purse as well as read text messages. For the price this watch cannot be beat! Love it!
