I'm actually considering wearing a watch again. I normally dislike the idea of having something strapped to my wrist simply to do one thing (tell time). This little device is awesome. I think that's what sets it apart. It's not just a watch. I can leave my phone in my bag, on silent, and still know when I get a call, email, etc since the watch has vibration built in. Also, I can play music on my phone from my wrist! I really love the multiple time display modes, and I'm actually excited to see what kind of updates they might bring in the future since you can easily update the watch's software from your phone via bluetooth. Definitely would recommend to others. I won't be surprised to see watches like these become commonplace soon, and the Pebble really does live up to all the hype.

Pebble blew me away. It essentially gives you everything you need right at a glance. For example, the text notifications worked seamlessly and used a quiet vibration that made me (and not others in the room) aware of the message. Also, I expected it to be bigger than it actually is, but it didn't stand out too much on my wrist. The different watchface options looked nice and helped give it a constant newness. It's a great smartwatch now, but once new apps and notification options are released, I think Pebble will become an outstanding watch that appeals to a wide range of users. I can't wait to get my own Pebble.

Pebble is a great little product and it definetely lived up to my expectations! At the very least Pebble is a really sharp looking watch. But there is much more to it than that. The best part about Pebble is that they are going to continiue developement and realease new features to add to its functionality. Overall I think it is a great product and can't wait until I get my own.

Pebble is a cool idea. I like how you can change the watchfaces. I also like that I can read a text message on Pebble without having to get my phone out of my bad. The buttons were easy to figure out. However, it was sort of annoying when I went to the menu screen then I couldn't go back to my home screen (the time) without re-selecting what watchface I wanted. If there was a master 'go back' button it would make the product better.

I think Pebble was a great piece of technology to notify people when they receive emails and text messages. I don't wear watches very often, so initially, I was hesitant to use Pebble. After a while, I forgot I was wearing it and I thought it was usefull when the watch would vibrate when I received a communication. While there were very few drawbacks, I think one area it could improve on is possibly a set of already composed texts that a user could toggle down on and respond to a message with the watch itself. When I received a text message, I still had to pull out my phone to respond. So in reality, the watch was only great for telling me I had an outstanding email or an unopened text message. All-in-all, a neat product for watch wearers and non-watch wearers. Good for the tech enthusiast everywhere.

I thought that the pebble had a slick design to it. It was fantastic as a first protocol type. I thought that the wristband was comfortable and was not annoying like some watches can be. I think that the apps for the watch so far are great starters. What I would like to see is a stopwatch app. Since I am a coach and need to time drills and whatnot. I think that would be a great addition. Right not the watch is geared more torwards males than females, although I would wear the watch how it is, I would recommend maybe a watch head that is a little bit more slimming.

The pebble watch is unique in that it recieves notifications like text messages and emails and even facebook notificiations which i have never had on a watch. I always hate that feeling of thinking my phone went off or ive gotten a text when in fact i have not. This watch gets rid of that feeling and its so clean and fits well on my arm! The only thing I would suggest for the future is to intigrate siri to it so you can also reaponde right from the watch but for now I'm in love. and his her name is pebble.

As someone who very rarely (practically never) wears watches, Pebble was a surprisingly good experience. I really enjoyed the simplicity of the design and the comfort of the wrist band. I have pretty small wrists, but the holes for the band allowed easy adjustment and fit comfortably. The variety of clock faces was somewhat limited, but still allowed for some user customization. I definitely enjoyed being able to check my text messages and emails without having to remove my phone from my pocket or backpack, which just super convenient. I really enjoyed the sleekness of the screen and the light up feature via shaking my wrist was also nice. Some drawbacks were the difficulty with getting email notifications to show up. After almost an hour of messing around with different things, I finally figured out I had to go to my settings and turn off my notifications for my Gmail, then turn notifications back on in order for my emails to pop up on the watch. Also, when I was initially connecting the watch to my phone, I had some distortion on the watch screen and was unable to read the menu for several minutes. All in all, I think this is a product that has an immense amount of potential and once more apps and customization features are added, I would definitely buy one in the future.

The design of this product is very attractive, and the layout is fairly user-friendly. I also like the idea of using words to tell time rather than numbers. Something new is always interesting. However, I, like many people, use my phone as my watch, and I can already use my phone for a lot of the functions on this watch. Perhaps this would be useful to someone who is on-the-go a lot and might not always have their cell phone handy, but I don't see myself purchasing this in the near future.

A friend of mine wrote an interesting review of his experience with Pebble: http://pocketnow.com/2013/03/06/life-on-a-pebble-smartwatch. Other than the singular review emanating from the collective conscious of the fresh community, it's probably the best review of the watch I've read :) To be honest, I was on the fence with Pebble. I really didn't get it until I wore it around for a few days. And, it's amazing to me how the pundits or so called experts simply miss why Pebble is a big deal. People love it. Sure it has some flaws, but so did the first version of the iPhone. Pebble gives a solid glimpse at a future of interconnected devices. That's cool. I'm hoping for a near-term delivery of the SDK, because I think the interface could be improved upon. However, Pebble nails the basic use case - keeping me informed of what's going on in my pocket. That sounded weird, but that's essentially what Pebble does. It's an easy way to stay connected and constantly informed. Pebble is really cool and will stay cool until Google Glass or until the robots take over. I highly recommend a Pebble watch for people looking to tell time and be informed . . . through a device on their wrist.

I thought the pebble was pretty cool. I'm not a big watch person but it had a lot of cool features like being able to change the face of the clock and receiving text messages. I wish that every face had the date in addition to the time. Also, it would be nice if it had a stopwatch because that is one of the main reasons I would use a watch.

The watch is awesome. The concept of the watch is awesome. Right now, what the Pebble needs most is some developer love. The Pebble just doesn't do much RIGHT now. I firmly believe this will change as soon as the complete SDK is released and developers can begin integrating their applications with the Pebble. The watch looks great and feels well built. The Pebble has an interesting future ahead of it.

Parting is such sweet sorrow :'( testing time is over, and I am left with an empty wrist that I must purchase a Pebble for! Why you ask? First off- the setup is a breeze, it pairs nicely, the app is smooth in the phone to setup as well. The charging cord is very cool how it magnetizes onto the phone- no jacks to break. Operation of the watch is the main pie'ce de resista'nce the watchface is cool for time keeping- look down and see "two two for 2:02" etc, other watchfaces include analog and another one that just makes you think to figure out the time ;) It vibrates to let you know a text has come in, and the best part- you can read the text right on your wrist to decide if you want to get your phone out and reply back then and there. You also get email notifications and can read them, and other app notifications. It has it's own alarm- which I found to be in 24 hour format- I set it to 2:40 thinking it knew it was pm, and it went off at 2:40 am :D At night I was wondering how to get the backlight on, and figured out with a flick of the wrist toward you- like when you move your wrist to look at the watch face, the light comes on. The battery life is excellent. It can control the music in your phone's playlist- this is nice so you don't have to constantly go to your phone. Form factor- nice size, not too small, not too big, very lightweight , the band is sturdy and adjusts nicely. would like to see- an audible function- and future models have a microphone so it could do extra features- perhaps even an IR emitter to use as a remote control!
