Being a regular watch-wearer and tech enthusiast, I was naturally excited to wrap the Pebble Time Steel smartwatch around my wrist. It's the first smartwatch I've played with extensively, and while I was impressed by its capabilities, it's by no means an...

When the Pebble Time Steel was first released, we decided to give our first impressions rather than rush into a full review straight away. There were a couple of reasons for this: firstly, we had not long before reviewed the Pebble Time and save for some...

No touchscreen, not as vibrant as rivals, not as many apps as Android Wear or Apple Watch...
There are some who won't be as enamoured with the Pebble Time Steel as we are and that's fine: there are plenty of alternatives in the shape of Android Wear devices, Samsung rivals or the Apple Watch, and many are around the same price. However, ge...

What would you do with a smartwatch? While Android Wear and the Apple Watch offer you the choice of ‘everything' the Pebble Time Steel takes a different approach. It's a lower-key, low-maintenance watch with much less eye-catching tech. You might think...
"The Pebble Time Steel is very similar to the Pebble Time, far more so than the original Pebble and its classed-up brother the Pebble Steel. We really don't think this is an essential upgrade, especially if you already own the cheaper version."...

The original Pebble Steel was a great smartwatch in a surprisingly fashionable costume. Its successor, the Time Steel, keeps the sex appeal but crams more brains inside.Pebble is one of the oldest smartwatch companies around, and its products have evolved...
The Time Steel fixes most of my gripes about the regular Time — better buttons, better screen — and puts everything in a package that looks nicer, and feels better on my wrist...
That oversized bezel makes the whole thing feel a little calculator-watch cheap. The glass on the screen also seems susceptible to scratches — I've put two (tiny) marks on the screen in under a week, which doesn't bode well for the long run, Conclusion...
If you want a Pebble watch, the Time Steel is the one to buy. For a bit less than £100, you get a watch that fixes everything wrong with the Time, in a far more attractive package. If you can't stomach the extra cash, I'd seriously consider buying the ori...

Smartwatches are a product group where manufacturers still seem to be hopeful in, if you look at the number of models that have been released. We decided to take a look at all the smartwatches we've tested recently to find out which one is the best. F...
Anno 2016 a smartwatch cannot be labeled unmissable and essential. It's definitely a nice gadget to have, but you'll get through the day just fine without one, without ever feeling that you miss something. Manufacturers have realized that marketing a sm...

Getting pricey, Huge bezel/tiny screen, Lacks apps...
Pebble adds a layer of style to its brilliant pioneering smartwatch, but its price brings it up to the level of smarter watches with which it struggles to compete in terms of apps, screen size and resolution. But it is a clear winner for colour-screened b...

The final verdict is a tough one, both watches are really different, both have features that the other lacks, so each one addresses a different type of consumers. So, the Steel's water resistance makes it a great choice for swimmers, the heart rate monito...
