After using this now for nearly a month, I can truly confirm the positive's of having a quality smartwatch. Does this thing have a mic to use with SIRI? No. Does it have the ability to text from it? No. Can I wear it in the shower? Sure, but I wouldn't recommend it with the leather band at least. Is this thing more than just an ACCESSORY? Absolutely!
I have been trying to get myself to wear a watch for years, and I could never do it because strictly using it for time just didn't get me - or even wearing it as a fashion type fad, nah. But, having this Pebble has changed all of that. I love how it looks - simple, yet nice... not bulky or odd. It is extremely useful to get your notifications on your wrist, and then be able to dismiss them without even pulling out your phone. Saves time, and prevents me from always pulling my phone out to check my notification - then getting distracted and wasting more time on things I shouldn't be that pull me away from quality time with my family and others.
Additionally, using Morpheuz (the sleep app) has been amazing! I primarily use it to wake me up in my 'light' sleep pattern for an easier awakening at 4:45am! Works a charm, and thoroughly love having this watch - being cautious at first because I didn't want to spend $200.
Thanks Pebble!

Smart is Sexy
Pebble Steel now with Pebble Timeline
Pebble Steel brings smart function and elegant form together. Ruggedly handsome, Pebble Steel is crafted from marine-grade stainless steel and Corning Gorilla Glass, so it’s as tough as it is good looking – and it’s battery lasts up to 7 days on a single charge. And it’s built with the same brains as Pebble, so you get notifications at a glance as well as the latest scores, your Starbucks card or even your boarding pass on your wrist. Pebble’s Timeline interface arranges all of your daily events, reminders and notifications in an easy-to-read chronological view. Ships with a black genuine leather watch band.
Leaving Your Phone In Your Pocket Has Never Been Classier
We all need to be connected and accessible, but pulling out your phone at dinner to check a text message or incoming call is a bit. ..gauche. With Pebble Steel, just a quick glance lets you read messages, see who’s calling or see important emails and never miss a beat. Or with hundreds of free apps, check the weather, stocks, train schedule and more. And yes, it also tells the time—with nearly 1,000 watchfaces to suit your style.

With the available steel band, Pebble Steel is perfect for things like running in the rain or boating, while keeping your phone tucked away and dry.

Good, but not great
Being an iPhone user, I thought I was doomed to the Apple Watch. The Apple Watch is a decent product, but way over priced to even consider. I really wanted something that read notifications on my watch and did health tracking. It seemed like FitBit was the only real option, but it was a high price with low features. I was excited about the Pebble Steel because it seemed like the answer to so many problems for an affordable price.After several days with the watch, I can honestly say that it fulfills most of my needs adequately. The battery life is decent (compared to the Apple Watch anyway). I went Thursday afternoon to Sunday evening before getting a low battery warning (20%). I wasn't gentle on the watch either. I was constantly changing watch faces and I used a weather app that was refreshing every hour. So it's not quite the 5-7 day experience as advertised, but I can see squeezing out one more day with a more low key watch face.The leather band that comes with the watch is cheap and not entirely comfortable, but it gets the job done. I can see wanting to upgrade this soon. The water proof abilities are as advertised and I had no adverse effects by soaking it in water. The vibration is strong enough to get your attention when trying to wake you up. The black and white screen is crisp and I like it constantly being on (another annoyance of the Apple Watch). Although the night light on the screen only stays on for two seconds and it doesn't do a good job of adjusting to the environment quickly.So where does it fall short? The app and connection experience. The watch was difficult to set up and I was constantly getting a "blue tooth failed to connect" error message. I quit the program in frustration only to find out it had been connected all along (but the app wasn't letting me proceed). The 8 app/watch face limit is a joke. In a generation with 128 GB storage space in phones, there's no excuse for such a low capacity. It's no fun having to tell your friends to wait while you load an app to show it to them. My other primary purpose of buying this watch was for activity and sleep tracking. Both work fairly accurately, however the MisFit app is buggy and syncing is a pain. My watch also dropped my bluetooth connection so I had to go through a lengthy process to reconnect. Not a major deal, but more than once a week would get really old.Overall, the Pebble watch does some things good but others need alot of work (especially storage and app). The product seems durable and for the price, there's really not much out there. So I give this a weak 4 stars (really 3.5). Once more competition enters the Apple-compatible watch arena, I think we'll see quality improve.
