The new Pebble Time watch has just been released, and it’s more token for style than for efficiency. The Pebble Time watch, called the Pebble Time Round, which already looks and feels like a more sophisticated alternative to other smart watches, and it will hit stores as of November 8 at $249.

Pebble

The new Pebble Watch is thinner and lighter than other competitors, and it can be idealized for smaller wrists. It has a shorter battery life, though, and it is not nearly as waterproof as its predecessors. Pebble Time Round is a very good looking device, but it’s had to sacrifice a handful of things for the sake of aesthetics that lessen the value of the device at an alarming rate.

The Pebble Time Round carries a sense of maturity that other watches of its kind and make lack, but it can’t go on swims and doesn’t have as many features as other smart watches on the market. It’s better fit for people who intend to use the smart watch as a watch and not for the sake of its technological features. Its elegance is not worth the short battery life, which will last two days at most, so it’s best to keep this watch for showing off and not for actual functionality.

Meet Pebble"s Flagship Smartwatch: The Pebble Time Steel - http://clapway.com/2015/08/09/meet-pebbles-flagship-smartwatch-the-pebble-time-steel567/

Pebble just announced their newest smartwatch, the Pebble Time, but that wasn’t the only thing the company had to show off. The Pebble Time Steel is, as the name implies, a higher-end version of the same watch but with some extra must-have features.

An Upgrade from the Upgrade

The original Pebble Watch took the market by surprise since it was really one of the first smartwatches to hit the market, and it was developed by a startup company. The Pebble Time takes some of the things that the Pebble Watch did well and improves them across the board. The Pebble Time Steel takes things up another notch. First off, the entire smartwatch is made of steel, which looks leagues ahead of the original Pebble Watch. Interestingly, the Pebble Time Steel is also water resistant up to 50 meters — inline with the original Pebble Watch, but better than the Pebble Time. It also sports a 182 ppi screen and has a higher rated battery. The most notable change to the two devices involves its e-ink display. Aside from the higher pixel density, the display is also all in color now, as opposed to the black display of the previous model.

New Software

The new Pebble software is called Pebble Timeline, and it gives users more functionality when it comes to you calendar, weather, and many other things. These are all features present in the old watch, but Timeline changes the way users interact with this information. Now, the buttons on the side of the devices allow users to navigate pinned events. The up button corresponds to past events, the middle button is for present events, and the down button is for events that are coming up in the future. The good news? Pebble Timeline is coming to the Pebble Watch as well, so all Pebble users will be able to take advantage of the new software.

Availability

For anyone who just wants to upgrade their old Pebble Watch, you can grab the Time straight off the website today. It’s $199.99 and comes with either black, white, or red bands. The Pebble Time Steel only opened for pre-order, but has more options. For $249.99 users can have their choice between a black, tan, and red genuine leather band, or can get a black, silver, or gold stainless steel band for $299.99. Shipping for the Pebble Time Steel is currently set for 6 to 8 weeks.
