Pebble 2

The original Pebble was the darling of crowdfunding platform Kickstarter, and helped springboard a whole new market for ‘smartwatches'.

Pebble 2 review

The very slight upgrade to the Pebble Classic

Low price ; Excellent battery ; Fun interface

Too simplistic ; No GPS ; Plastic design

A neat watch from Pebble, but we expected more of an upgrade. If you're into notifications and some simple apps you'll enjoy this watch, and especially the price, but ultimately it feels like a very minor refresh of the first Pebble.

Pebble 2 review: Smart, but not fancy

Before the plethora of Android watches and, eventually, the Apple Watch hit the market, there was Pebble. It wasn't the first ever smartwatch, but it was the first to excite the tech community with its ping-from-phone alerts and apps and was, for a...

Easy to use, waterproof, amazing battery life longevity, works well on Android and iOS

Screen is only black and white ePaper, no GPS for location tracking, design is plasticky

For a £100 device, the Pebble 2 has a lot going for it. It's truly cross-platform so that you can use it with an Android phone or iPhone. It has amazing battery life and a user interface that's very simple to use and understand.

Pebble 2 review

A slick smartwatch brain, plus basic fitness tracking for £100? Yes please

Notifications? Not a problem ; It’s got battery for days ; Light and comfortable to strap on all day

Fitness tracking is as basic as it gets ; Few first-party apps

It’s not a premium smartwatch or a pro fitness tracker, but the Pebble 2 nails the middle ground in style

Pebble 2 Review: In Depth

Pebble 2 review: 3 years after breaking records on Kickstarter, Pebble has released the Pebble 2. Is it an improvement on the original Pebble watch?

Great battery life ; Water resistant ; Feature packed ; Easy to use

Thick bezels ; Lacks style ; No GPS

Pebble’s newest watch retains all of the elements that made its original offering so great but enjoys the benefits of a refined, more compact design, a richer app store, water-resistance and (optional) heart rate tracking..

Pebble 2 review

I like the Pebble 2 as a watch, but I don't like it as a fitness tracker.

Affordably priced. Five-day battery life. Swim and shower-proof to 30 meters. Always-on display. Improved software makes glancing at quick notifications easier. Built-in microphone for quick text message responses. Works with Android or iOS.

Baked-in fitness tracking is uneven, especially heart rate and workout tracking. Plastic design. Small black and white screen is sometimes hard to read. Pebble's apps and watch face options are often ugly.

The Pebble 2 doesn't win on fitness tracking, but it's still a solid pick for simple notifications and messages on a long-battery budget smartwatch.

Pebble 2 review

(Rating Hidden)

The Classic was the first smartwatch from Pebble and broke a crowd funding record when it was listed on Kickstarter in 2015. As the name suggests, the Pebble 2 is the second iteration which reinforces Pebble's focus on health and fitness. Our...

Pebble 2 Smartwatch – Review

I was one of the Kickstarter backers for the original Pebble smartwatch back in 2012. I still actually own that too. Shortly after I purchased the Pebble Steel. However, when the colour Pebble Time watches appeared, I fell out of love with them. I...

If you are like me and want your smartwatch to be a watch with added benefits, rather than an all-singing and all-dancing wrist-mounted computer, check this out. It has a full week-long battery life and a reasonable price tag of around £100.
