Pebble Time review: an underdog among smartwatches
I tried one at Maker Faire. I was worried that the press photos were overselling the legibility of the screen, but in person it looks just as good as in the photos, and the animations are cool. I've been using a Moto 360 since release, so here are my thoughts:* Pebble Time can't match the saturated colors of the Moto 360's screen indoors; however always-on and sunlight readability are far more important. I definitely prefer the Pebble Time screen for a watch.* 7 day battery life: Don't care. I don't sleep with my watch on and with wireless or magnetic charging it's not a hassle to charge nightly.* The Moto 360 touchscreen is slow and unreliable. I much prefer the Pebble's physical buttons.* I prefer the Pebble's vibration motor to the Moto 360's.* I find the Moto 360's voice commands to be mostly useless. My phone has always-on voice activation and it's faster and more reliable to talk directly to my phone even while it's still in my pocket. I wouldn't miss this feature switching to Pebble Time.* I still prefer the Moto 360's design over any other smartwatch including Pebble Time. Most people assume it's an Apple Watch. That said, I think the Pebble Time looks reasonably good. Certainly better than any of the square Android Wear watches.
