Product Description
Since taking the Kickstarter world by storm after its initial release, Pebble has continued to upgrade and improve its technology. The Pebble Time Steel is another solid iteration in Pebble’s line of dependable, and functional smart watches Read More
Received it today, and it's already defective. It was advertised as being waterproof and after washing the dishes with the watch on, it's already completely destroyed. What do I do now ? It seems that it wasn't glued on properly at the seams.
Fitbit said they will keep the services and updates coming throughout the 2017. Regardless of that, I got the watch because SDK is still available and even if the online services stop working I can upload applications to the watch and make it do stuff I need it to. That said, I realize not many people know how to write software and use development tools but for me this is a perfect hacking watch with good API.
This watch is uber sexy and stylish so I can see why everyone wants to buy it. I just cant bring myself to pull the trigger on a ticking time bomb. Good luck to those if the gamble pays off though.

JamesXIt is a gamble as you say even though Fitbit said they will keep things running throughout 2017. For me this watch is a perfect toy. Being a developer I can do many things even without the online services. All I need is good API that communicates with my phone and am good which is exactly what this watch has. It is sad that such good product is going away, hopefully Fitbit will create their own stuff with the same level of attention to details and community.
As a Pebble fan, some news for anyone following: As of this morning, Misfit (a fitness tracker app/Fitbit competitor) has officially ended support for all of their Pebble offerings. Pebble's built-in health offering still syncs with Google Fit, if that's your app of choice.
p999It handles Chinese, but I don't think it has the fonts needed for Japanese or Korean. There are some custom firmwares/font packs that add it, but I'm not familiar enough with them to speak to their functionality
I own the original pebble watch and it has been pretty decent. However, I personally wouldn't buy another one due to the fact that developers are likely going to jump off the pebble ship. Why would they keep developing for a product that is confirmed to have no future support down the road? I have already observed some of this behavior with the watch faces I have installed. Some of the functionality has stopped working and I don't expect it to ever work again. I will sorely miss the 6 day battery lIfe.
WildusaIf you don't already, you should know about Rebble ( https://rebble.io/), a fledgling community of Pebble-owners - including some developers - who are working to utilize the open-source nature of Pebble to continue functionality into the future. Also, https://www.reddit.com/r/pebble is a great resource for Pebble-owners who are not ready to give up the fight to keep these amazing watches running as far into the future as they can.
I owned an original, and now have the Time, and I cannot find another watch which does what Pebble does, as well as it does. I know there are other smartwatches out there, ones that do more stuff, but none of them offers what the Pebble does; namely, insane battery life. I read a great quote about it recently: while many smartwatches do 50 things OK, the Pebble does 15 exceptionally. And I feel like that boils it down perfectly.
