It's a smartwatch first with fitness features second. The Pebble 2 can also control your music with playback controls.įor a non-serious fitness guy like me, I prefer the Pebble over the Charge 2. Both wearables show you notifications from your smartphone, but the Pebble 2 is the only non-Apple Watch wearable that lets you send text and voice replies for messages (for select regions and carriers) and replies for emails on iOS dictating replies worked really well, but it's still basically in beta. The Charge 2 can automatically detect when you're working out and start tracking whereas the Pebble 2 can't. Adding a heart rate sensor and the fitness and sleep-tracking makes it far more competitive with the $150 Fitbit Charge 2, which has the same features.ĭeciding on the $20 difference between the Pebble 2 and Fitbit Charge 2 really depends on what your needs are. The Pebble 2 builds on the foundation that the Pebble smartwatches before it set. The e-paper screen is easy to read in direct sunlight. It wouldn't look out of place if the Pebble 2 had a Nike swoosh or Adidas logo on it. The color scheme should immediately tell you who this is aimed at: fitness peeps. The black model I've been testing comes with neon yellow sides where the buttons are.

One colleague said the watch looked retro and matched quite nicely with the "low-resolution" pixel software interface on the 1.26-inch (144 x 168) e-paper screen. I think the Pebble Time 2's rounded look is sleeker, but the plastic case and rubber band has its charms, especially now that '90s style is back. The $130 smartwatch harkens back to the original Pebble design with a more toy-like rectangular square case that's thinner and lighter. The internet gave him that within two hours of the campaign going live and over $10.2 million by the end of the crowdfunding.Įven with several versions under its belt - the Pebble Steel, Pebble Time and Pebble Time Round - the company decided to turn to Kickstarter once again to fund the more fitness-focused Pebble 2 + Heart Rate smartwatch that I've been wearing for the last week. Founder and CEO Eric Migicovsky asked for $100,000 to build and sell the Pebble.
