Should I buy the Pebble Time? - Pebble

Hey,
I have one gathered before me which costs around 95GBP, including shipping to my country.
I've told my dad that I'm interested in getting a watch and particularly this one. However, since it's my first time wearing a watch, will it be comfortable will I notice it, do I sleep with it? wink:
I'm pretty much sold with pebble, I like their direction, the price is right, now I need a final push to order it.
Persuade me into getting the watch please. :slight_smile:
Thanks in advance,
Best regards,
Peppa

I was looking for a simple smartwatch that can show notifications and who's calling, i spent almost two weeks seeing reviews about android wear and Pebble. I ended up ordering a Pebble Time yesterday What had me sold was the battery life, the dev support, brightness in direct sunlight and the simplicity of the watch (and the price )

Pebble watches are the only smart watch that is also compatible with iOS. This was my big selling point.

Not entirely true. AndroidWear is compatible with iOS too.

Is it possible?

i think i well go with meta-watch
I'd love to walk around with this watch, a Nexus 7, and Project Glass
Pebble Watch
This one got alot of buzz surrounding it's Kickstarter campaign. They were looking to raise $100,000 and ended up with over $10 million.
http://getpebble.com
There are over 68,000 pre-orders so you might be waiting awhile
They said they are looking to ramp up production to 15,000 per week sometime after September.
How could you text via this watch? Lol
I was thinking of picking up a Nano & watchband, I don't really see myself playing games on a little phone, especially for that price range, the nanos are 100? + $50 watch band = same concept?

I preordered this in January (right after CES) and they were supposed to ship in April. April came and went and imwatch kept pushing the ship dates back and back and without any word of why the delay. I requested a refund and that alone took 15 business days to process. I even called Italy long distance (using google voice) and they STILL didn't do anything correctly. Really bad customer service. I am a pebble backer Waterproof ftw IMO. :highfive:
And I have seen ONE person get their i'm watch. That's very suspect, because if the stated 300 "beta" users were supposed to get their im watches, I haven't heard or seen any youtube vids of any sort.
i just bought the motorola motoactv to sync to my phone after motorola announced a @100 price drop. for $200, its a 16gb smart watch that will read facebook updates, sms, allow you to answer calls (you can sync a bluetooth headset or use a wired headset on the watch itself), has GPS tracking, accelerometer. however, its more of a fitness oriented watch with limited customisability, and most existing apps are fitness related.
the sony mn2 smartwatch is cheaper, but the screen isnt as good as the motorola, and it doesnt have any notable storage options. the sony smartwatch is nothing more than a mere digital watch when its not sync'd to the device, as all the apps are just widgets to read stuff from your android device. the advantage is that its much more customisable than the motorola.
So I pre-order the I’m Watch 11/2011 (over a year ago), and I’m still waiting for it. I opened a trouble call to get an update and got the following answer within 24 hrs.
Dear Customer,
we have started and will proceed with the deliveries in chronological order up until the 15th of September.
Once your order will near the shipping, the tracking number will be available to follow its schedule and have a more precise date.
The discount will be provided to you shortly before the shipping.Our administration still has to evaluate whether to provide it via bank transfer or on the credit card used for the payment if possible.
Best regards,
i'm Staff

Tried the Smartwatch too, but actually wound up returning it. Too many litle things I did not like. As far as the Pebble now, for what it is I love it. Sure there are newer more sexy ones coming on the market, but for now this is just the best there is, and I can always get one of the new models next year.
Here in the States they have started selling the watch in Best Buy Stores here. If there is anyone you know that can pick one up for you, then that may be the best option. I don't know what the shipping restrictions are, but I think it can be sent to you.
Good luck!

[Q] Anyone that ordered from clove get their Smartwatch 2 yet?

Has anyone that ordered from clove gotten their smartwatch 2 yet? I haven't received any email regarding shipping info. Their site says that they have them in stock.

Nope, nothing yet. I saw them say something like "Please don't email/phone us about dispatch dates for z1 owners who are getting a free sw2 as it will just give us more to do" on their blog or twitter or something though.
Good to know I'm not the only one but it's frustrating!
I just got an email from them saying that they expect to ship all of the smart watches by the end of the week.

Hi,
I also ordered an Xperia Z1 through the smartwatch 2 offer on clove. My smartwatch 2 hasn't shipped out yet, but I received an email from them saying that it should ship by by the end of the week. The only problem is that on the website it says that the black silicone strap is sold out. Does this mean that everyone whose order has not been dispatched yet has to wait for new stock to arrive, or does it just mean that there is no stock for new orders?
Can't wait for it to arrive!
I got mine today (UK). EBay methinks, will help offset the cost of the phone simply free.

I too had the smartwatch offer with clove. Got no dispatch email but despite that it turned up this morning! Actually really like it. It's simple and is not trying to be too clever. I'm using watchit which pushes all notifications to the watch seamlessly. Wasted £5 on the smartwatch augmentation thing. Didn't really get it. Watchit is much easier and free too! It looks fine on the wrist too. Even the wife thought it looked good! I was also surprised how many apps are available. Most are pretty useless but I think it's a good sign for the future.
In the few hours I've used it I would say it's actually been quite useful as a remote notification device. It also means I can keep my phone on silent which is nice as it annoys the wife. You just get a nice gentle vibration on your wrist which feels fine. Haven't missed anything yet. The only issue for me is not being able to do much when you get a notification. For example, you can see emails but can't delete them. In the end you always have to go to the phone. What I've realized is that I'm opening the phone much less now. Which is good.
Would just like to amend the comment about the app augmented smartwatch pro. It's actually very good and does a lot more than watchit. For example it allows me to control Google music. Watchit does not. My point should have been that I wanted the watch simply as a notification device. The augmented thing does that, I just believe watchit does it better. Just slightly annoying that I spent a fiver on an app to control Google music! Oh well.

Thanks for the info, I guess I won't buy augmented smartwatch then. Hopefully my watch will arrive tomorrow or friday.
Preordered mine from Amazon UK on the 17th of September. The site says is been in stock since October 1st but it hasn't dispatched yet
Then again, I AM in Australia... ETA is the 5th but I really doubt that it can get here in one day
Haven't gotten mine yet. I read the questions and answers on their blog today that said no one will be getting an individual email that their watches have shipped. Once they're done with all orders from the Z Ultra and Z1 then one mass email will go out. You may get your watch before you get an email.
Bottom line: be patient. Le'sigh
Got my watch but, it's corrupted can't even access the home screen just the clock....
I got mine yesterday, haven't used it other than to check it powers on.
Received mine today. Shows it was dispatched on 9/27/13 via Royal Mail.
Took literally less than 2-3 minutes to set up and start using. It's a little big for a woman's wrist but I don't mind.

The woman who gets the mail here at work is at lunch so I can't confirm if it came USPS. I'm going to assume that it did because there is no 3rd party courier information on the packaging itself.
Updated to add: Confirmed this was delivered by USPS.
Has anyone who got their Z1 directly from EE received their watch yet?
yep got mine as well today usps

Nice . .are you in USA?
The pundits have been proven wrong many times before.
Technology pundits are worse than movie critique pundits- much more biased.
I was on the fence about this device initially after reading so many reviews, but I'm so glad that I gave myself a chance to try it out for a few days. I like it so much that I will not return it back to BB but instead keep using it most likely.
I think this watch has a great potential to be a successful product, if Samsung can follow up with some needed software updates.
The hardware is quite acceptable as Samsung has done an admirable job on it.
The best part is that the updates will come straight from Samsung and not delayed through the carriers.

Bought my gear Friday and love it so far. I'm keeping mine.
I like mine too.
I am surprised by the negative reviews. Wondering if they all got a beta sample to test?
I am keeping mine too. Much better than the pebble

First Round watch

I just purchased the Urbane so for so good the only negative I have is $400.... this is not worth $400
Round content,
I find that for the most part the watch has space to the right and left, the bottom row is shorter, the top row is shorter;
but somehow watch faces fill the screen.

No one forced you to pay $400. Did someone put a gun to your head, and make you buy it?

I think it is too much money but I wanted a watch now, so I bought one ....... no gun.
It is not like there is that much of a choice in Canada. (I have the Sony Smartwatch 3)
This or the under powered flat tire MOTO 360
Wonder what the update I just got is...
When I synced the watch it said I was at 5.1.1 but 20 minutes later I got an System update.

He's entitled to his opinion, and you're entitled to yours. If you disagree, you can attack the content of his posting, but you should never attack the poster. Attacking the poster means you are making the argument personal, likely making it emotional and off topic.
That's how I define what is trolling behavior. Others may have a different definition.

I agree with you that LG Urbane is too expensive. It is not worth $400. There many circle screen watch available on the market in reasonable price. I will never waste my money on LU Urbane Watch. I will buy Moto 360 or upcoming Modular smart watch. These smart watches are really stylish and advance level.

Mine was $250 on sale. I would not have paid $400 American dollars for it, but happy with it for what I paid. I gave away my 360 because it looked good, but just wasn't up to par...
only negative is price but you love it, that means it worth the price, and it's not a negative.
how about the battery life?

So far there are two threads you've raised pretty much from the dead where you've said nothing except you think that the Moto 360 is better, when no one else has even mentioned it.
So, the real question is, why are you trolling these forums?
