At CES last week, Pebble announced their new updated smartwatch, the Pebble Steel, and now we have a video of this new smartwatch from Pebble.
The Pebble Steel is slightly smaller than the original Pebble, it comes with a thinner profile and will be available in two colors, it is also waterproof up to 5 ATM.
Design and Build Quality
The Pebble Steel is available in brushed stainless steel and Matte Black, both models will also come with a matching leather band. This new design is a significant upgrade from the original Pebble, which had a more plastic and casual look. The Pebble Steel’s premium materials and sleek design make it suitable for both casual and formal settings, offering versatility that appeals to a broader audience.
It also comes with Corning Gorilla Glass which is designed to protect the display from scratches. This is a notable improvement, as the original Pebble’s screen was more prone to scratches and damage. The Gorilla Glass ensures that the Pebble Steel can withstand daily wear and tear, maintaining its sleek appearance over time.
Performance and Features
The battery will give you around 5 to 7 days of usage on one charge, which is quite impressive compared to many other smartwatches on the market that require daily charging. This extended battery life makes the Pebble Steel a practical choice for users who need a reliable device that doesn’t need constant recharging.
In terms of functionality, the Pebble Steel retains all the features that made the original Pebble popular. It supports notifications for calls, texts, emails, and various apps, ensuring that you stay connected without having to constantly check your phone. Additionally, it is compatible with both iOS and Android devices, making it accessible to a wide range of users.
Pebble has also focused on enhancing the software experience with the Pebble Steel. The smartwatch supports a variety of apps available through the Pebble app store, ranging from fitness trackers to productivity tools. This allows users to customize their smartwatch experience to suit their individual needs and preferences.
Pebble will be launching the Pebble Steel later this month, it will be available from the 28th of January and will retail for $249.99. This price point positions the Pebble Steel as a mid-range smartwatch, offering premium features and design at a more accessible price compared to high-end competitors.
