Current market situation " smart watch“in many ways reminiscent of the years and months before the start of sales of the very first iPhone. To date, not a single manufacturer has managed to release a truly breakthrough device that can instantly reshape consumer expectations. , and others have so far gotten away with niche models, and are now feeding consumers with prototypes and demonstrations - but not finished products. There are compromises to be made.

If you were looking for a smart bracelet, the choice among best options would limit myself to only two models - and . But if you just want a smartwatch that makes it easier to use your smartphone and have a constant stream of incoming messages and alerts, you only have one option. It hasn't had a single competitor for two years, and there doesn't seem to be any time before the release of the iWatch.

This Pebble.

Many gadgets seem interesting on paper and pictures, but real use turn out to be inconvenient, ill-conceived, too narrowly focused. "Smart watch" Pebble– an example of a rare, strictly opposite situation. This is a thing that is ideal for everyone who has so far looked askance at the entire market of wearable devices. For example, I didn’t see any benefit in using them. Or was upset by typical shortcomings and limitations.

No. 1. Huge selection of software and watch faces

With its tiny size and light weight, Pebble has own App Store . In the official application for iOS and Android, owners of the above-mentioned smartwatches can download and install any of tens of thousands of watch faces. No one has such a choice today. similar device: from countless stylizations of analog watches down to the second hands to the most informative digital watches displaying the current weather, wind force and lunar cycle.

Pebble supports up to eight simultaneously installed watch faces (or programs). Switching between them is instantaneous, just press one of the side buttons in standby mode. The remaining “clocks” are added to your personal storage - in the memory of the Pebble iOS application. This system allows you to select a couple of dozen dials to your liking and change them at your discretion at any time.

Want something modern to go with your sportswear? Or maybe in the style of a famous artist or video game? How about something tailored to a real watch manufacturer? All this and much more is available in the Pebble store. I almost forgot: everything in this store is free.

No. 2. Down with useless notifications from iPhone

Push notifications on iOS are sometimes as annoying as email spam. Alerts about incoming SMS, messages from social networks and installed applications today pour almost non-stop into the ears of smartphone owners. And every time they have to take the device out of their pocket - and put it back in disappointment. The ratio of information noise that distracts from business becomes alarmingly high.

Pebble owners make it simple. They just look at watch and move on.

Game notifications appear on the watch screen

All notifications(SMS, WhatsApp, games, reminders, etc.) received on the iPhone are instantly displayed on the Pebble screen, accompanied by a vibration signal. One glance is enough to understand who or what bothered you. It seems like such a small thing, but the convenience is simply incredible. After all, now you don’t need to check your smartphone at all. Everything important that happens in your social networks and instant messengers will always be in sight - without unnecessary movements. Why do you need Google Glass when you can see everything on your own watch?

To display the Cyrillic alphabet On the Pebble screen, spend 5 minutes updating the clock.

No. 3. Music playback control

I don’t know about you, but I use headphones without a control unit. Until now, many models of vacuum plugs, interesting from an audiophile point of view, are not equipped with such a simple thing - or cost twice as much just because of the presence of a remote control on the cable. It would seem, what does Pebble have to do with it?

In standby mode, the Pebble user can control music playback at a distance of one click. The screen displays the artist, album and title of each track. Using the side buttons you can instantly scroll through songs, and using a simple combination you can adjust the playback volume. Nothing else is needed for complete happiness of a music lover.

Controlling music playback on your iDevice via Pebble can be convenient in other scenarios. For example, when connecting an iPhone to home speakers: you can change tracks on the go, without going near the speaker or smartphone. Smart watches act as a mobile control panel and do their job flawlessly.

No. 4. A week of real battery life

Very often, future iWatch owners complain: they say, time battery life the new Apple gadget is unlikely to last long. The idea is logical: fitting a capacious battery inside a portable watch is not an easy task. The creators of Pebble solved it very simply, eliminating not the consequence of the problem, but its very cause.

Pebble has a small black and white screen. This fact scares off a good half of potential buyers. And in vain. Specially designed display from Sharp solves a lot of important problems that owners of future smart watches will definitely face. For example, the visibility of information in direct sunlight. Everything Pebble shows you is perfectly visible in almost any situation. And in the dark you can activate the screen backlight.

So, thanks to the energy-efficient display, Pebble can work for a week. With active use of this watch, including a constant connection via Bluetooth, auto-backlight turned on, and regular installation and removal of new programs, the Pebble will work longer three days. There is nothing else like it on the market. And it is unlikely to happen in the near future.

No. 5. Silent vibration alarm clock

Singles and singles don't need to worry about others. In particular, you can set screaming alarm clocks on your phone at least for four o’clock in the morning. If other people sleep lightly next to you and don’t need to wake up at the same time as you, you desperately need a Pebble.

The clock memory stores up to 4 alarms at any time. Since the watch has no speakers at all, the signal is transmitted exclusively through vibration. I've never slept while relying on Pebble. They are a great awakening - but only for the one who is wearing them. Everyone else continues to sleep as if nothing had happened.

No. 6. Water protection

Partial protection from water will not interfere with any gadget. Especially the iPhone. The creators of Pebble thought in advance about those who would not want to take off their favorite watch in bad weather. The official water protection level is 5 atmospheres. Basically, this means that you can shower in the Pebble without much fanaticism or getting caught in the rain.

However, numerous examples from the lives of Pebble owners prove: you can easily swim in them both in the pool and in the sea - with the watch completely submerged. This summer I sank the first generation Pebble in the Black Sea for a whole week, and nothing bad happened to them. Even the company's official accounts in in social networks confirm the safety of swimming in their smartwatch. You can dive into them to a depth of 40 meters. In general, there is no need to remove them at all :)

Pebble Classic or Pebble Steel?

Thanks to luck and good management, a successful Kickstarter project turned into a thriving business capable of generating new products on its own. Therefore, at the beginning of 2014, it entered the market a new version Pebble. However, it doesn't have to be better. Rather, it is an alternative. Pebble Steel– these are the same watches, but in high-quality packaging. Including in the literal sense.

If you've avoided Pebble simply because of their sporty, somewhat youthful design, you'll instantly like the Steel. These watches were originally made for those who wear long-sleeved shirts, jackets and generally follow their dress code. A more traditional, rectangular shape, real glass instead of clear plastic, high-quality metal buttons and body.

Clickable

The Pebble Steel comes with two different straps - black leather and steel, as well as a tool for replacing them. Then it depends on the preferences of the individual. Personally, I think leather looks better. Perhaps because the excess of metal along with the digital display evokes parallels with a cheap calculator watch :) I’m sure many Steel owners will disagree with me, and that’s absolutely normal. That is why we are given choice.

In technical terms, regular Pebble and Steel are almost no different from each other. If you're being picky, the display contrast in metal models is still higher than in the classic series. In other words, the white color is a little whiter there, and the black color - well, you get the idea. Plus, the manufacturer has solved the problem with “gasoline” stains on the displays of regular Pebble. At least there was nothing like that on our Steel. Due to flat glass rather than convex plastic, the watch looks twice as good in the light and does not give wavy, distorted reflections.

The advantages of Pebble Steel over the regular model are obvious. One of the disadvantages is that the first ones do not come with a rubber bracelet. This means that playing sports in Steel will be inconvenient. Also, you should not get carried away with swimming with a leather strap, as well as running. In general, the model is not at all sporty and not for everyday use - more for work and meetings. The vibration motor in Steel is slightly weaker than in the first version, and at the same time louder. That's basically it.

PACKAGING AND EQUIPMENT

Pebble Steel 401 comes in a rectangular box made of thick black cardboard. The cardboard itself is matte, but the image of the clock is already in color and glossy.

The box is very pleasant to the touch and quite high quality, it’s even a shame to throw it away, it will last a long time.

On the front side there is an image of a watch, on the back of the box there is information that the watch can withstand immersion to a depth of 50 meters. As such technical characteristics There is no information on the packaging, only information that the watch can work with smartphones on Android OS; smartphones on iOS are also supported.

Accordingly, the image of the watch on the packaging is black and silver color depending on the selected instance.

The Pebble Steel 401 comes with only a special USB cable with magnetic charging at the end.

There is also a warranty card and quick guide user.

Pebble Smart Watch 301 also comes in a rectangular box made of thick cardboard, only this time the cardboard is white with a matte finish. The packaging of Pebble Smart Watch 301 is approximately half that of Pebble Steel 401.

The box is also very well made. On the front side there is a glossy image of a watch in black or red.

But in this case, you can already read a short message on the box technical information. The watch also works with smartphones running Android OS, starting with the ancient 2.3 version. iOS smartphones are supported from version 5.

The actual equipment of the Pebble Smart Watch 301 is no different from that of the Pebble Steel 401. In addition to the watch, in the box you can also find a warranty card, a short user manual and a special USB cable with magnetic charging.

It is worth considering that the chargers for both watches are different in shape and are not backward compatible. It is difficult to say why the manufacturer did not unify charging device, but the fact remains a fact.

APPEARANCE. CONTROLS

PEBBLE STEEL 401

I’ll start the story about the appearance with the more expensive version of the Pebble Steel 401. This watch, as mentioned above, comes in two colors, black and gray metallic. When I got acquainted with the watch, I didn’t like the gray color of the case the most, but this is purely a matter of taste.

As many have probably already guessed, the watch case is made of steel. The body itself is slightly elongated vertically, and the right and left ends are slightly rounded. The black version has a matte finish. A glossy metal edge runs along the perimeter of the screen. The screen itself is closed protective glass Gorilla Glass, but it was not possible to find out which revision it was. There is also a status indicator on the screen that indicates the battery charge level.

The thickness of the case is 1 cm, which at first may seem like quite a lot, but in practice the thickness seems much less. In general, the watch looks quite stylish and presentable. The watch looks pretty good on both men's and women's hands, but personally I like a larger case and for me this watch seemed a little small.

The back of the watch protrudes slightly above the base due to the built-in battery. The cover is fixed at the corners with four bolts.

The watch is controlled using mechanical buttons.

When you press the button on the right side, you go back one step; a long press brings up the main menu of the watch.

Just below right button There is a connector for connecting a magnetic charger.

There are already three buttons on the right side. The top and bottom are responsible for navigating the menu up or down. By holding one of the buttons for a long time, you can assign any selected action to them: stopwatch, alarm clock, settings, notification, change watch face, etc.

The central button is a regular “Ok” button; when you press it, you activate the selected item in the settings; no other action can be assigned to the button.

The black and gray versions of the watch use the same genuine leather strap. Many people write that the strap is allegedly not of high quality, but I liked the workmanship, the leather is soft, elastic and pleasant to the touch. When wearing the watch on your hand, the strap does not cause any discomfort and does not rub your hand. The edges of the strap are also well finished. Along the perimeter of the strap itself there is a stitch of black thread, and on the back of the strap there is a stitch of white thread. The width of the strap at the base is 15 mm, so there should be no problems in selecting third-party straps, just keep in mind that there is an additional jumper on the watch case where the strap is attached. Accordingly, the choice of strap should be based on this parameter.

The clasp on the strap has a classic watch shape. The clasp itself is made of steel and was not painted to match the color of the strap and was left light. The edges of the fastener are well processed and rounded.

The gray color of the watch is no different from the black one; all design elements are the same. The only distinctive element is the black edging that runs along the perimeter of the watch case at the top. This approach to design makes the gray watch a little more attractive than the usual black color.

PEBBLE SMART WATCH 301

Now I propose to consider the Pebble Smart Watch 301; their design differs quite significantly from the Pebble Steel 401.

And so the Pebble Smart Watch 301 is available in two colors, black and red, and in this case the case is completely plastic.

The watch case is even more elongated vertically than that of the Pebble Steel 401. The plastic used in the design is glossy, the screen is covered with transparent polycarbonate.

The back of the watch is matte. The black version has bolts on the back at the corners, while the red version has no bolts.

If you look at the watch from the end, you can see that the front part has a rounded shape at the edges; if you look at it from above, this effect is not visually noticeable.

This design approach creates the illusion that the screen in our case is curved, but in practice this is not the case.

The controls and button functionality are the same for both models and I will not dwell on them.

Accordingly, in the plastic version of the watch the strap is completely rubber. The width at the base is 22 mm, you can change straps with the same size, the strap is fixed at two points. Metal clasp gray, the same as in the previous model. The Pebble Smart Watch 301 does not have a status indicator.

According to personal feelings, the Pebble Smart Watch 301 is more suitable for the fairer sex; the red version looks especially good on the hand.

But on a man’s hand, the 301 model doesn’t look very good.

During testing, I had absolutely no questions about the build quality. Both watch models have an almost monolithic case. Nothing creaks or presses through. The control buttons do not play. As a result, we can say that we have a reference example of device assembly.

Both models are waterproof. This watch can be immersed in water to a depth of 50 meters. The watch can withstand water pressure of 5 atmospheres, which is quite serious.

The physical screen diagonal of the watches is the same and is 1.26 inches. Screen resolution 144x168 pixels. The number of pixels per inch is 182ppi, individual pixels are of course clearly visible on the screen, but in the context of this screen it is perceived as normal. As many have probably already understood, the screen in this watch is not touch-sensitive; all control is carried out only using mechanical buttons. "e-paper" screen technology. Many people think that these are “eInk” screens, but this is a misconception, and in fact it is Memory LCD technology from Sharp. Information on the screen changes almost instantly, which allows you to use applications with complex animation. The image on the watch is always active and cannot be turned off. There is an LED backlight that can be adjusted.

Many may think that a monochrome image is a thing of the past, but in practice everything is much simpler. This screen has very low energy consumption, which we’ll talk about a little later.

This is what the watch interface looks like:

FUNCTIONALITY AND CONNECTION

Watch use ARM processor Cortex-M3 with a clock frequency of 80 MHz, as well as 128 Kb random access memory. To store downloaded applications, we are allocated 8 MB of internal memory, another 512 KB of memory are hardwired into the chip and are intended for the system bootloader and storing firmware files. It may seem that 8 MB for applications will not be enough, but this is not so; the applications themselves are very small in size and sometimes do not take up more than ten kilobytes. There is a small limitation in the form of installed applications, the maximum number is only 8 pieces, taking into account the installed dials, and here, as they say, you can’t go wild.

The watch runs on Pebble's own OS. Interesting feature is the ability to write your own dials on the manufacturer’s website and then upload them to your watch; as a result, you become the owner of completely unique dials.

To connect the watch to a smartphone, you need to download the “Pebble” application of the same name from the PlayMarket; owners of Apple products do the same, but only download the application from the App Store.

Don't forget to turn on the BT connection on your smartphone first. Next, run the downloaded program. When installing the program, you need to go through a short registration without confirming your account.

Then we select the language of the program itself and here it is worth considering that the Great and Mighty in this application is not supported, and it is not supported in third-party applications either.

Next, you can choose which notifications will be sent to your watch. Actually, there are not many of them: text, calls, Email. IN additional settings you can select other applications that send notifications, but as a rule this will only be information on the watch screen that you have received a message; to view it you will need to go into your phone. This is the case with WhatsApp, for example.

Actually, the Pebble program will be your main assistant in working with watches.

In it you will download various skins for watches, programs and games.

There are both paid and free apps. Apps in the store are divided into six categories: weather, notifications, health, utilities, remote control, games.

There are a lot of images of different dials and the range is constantly growing. You can choose an image to suit your taste; both static and animated dials are supported. Download the selected application through the appropriate directory. Also, unnecessary applications are removed from the smartphone.

The watch itself has support for the Russian language. For example, when there is an incoming call, the number and name of the subscriber are displayed on the watch, and you can also receive a call from the watch. To display contacts phone book you need to install an additional application from the store, but this function Only supported by iOS devices. This is not the only limitation; when you select an application, information will be displayed on the screen for which operating system it is intended for. It would be logical to add sorting, but the manufacturer did not do this.

It is worth noting that the watch does not have a heart rate sensor. Accordingly, fitness functionality will be limited. There is only an accelerometer that can count steps and determine sleep stages, but only by the movement of your hands in your sleep.

The watch has a built-in vibration mode, it is triggered when a new notification arrives. The level of vibration itself is quite strong and you definitely won’t miss the message even if you don’t have the watch on your hand.

The watch can control the playback of music tracks on your smartphone, but the options are limited and come down to only rewinding the song or pausing it.

For example, the watch can be used as a baby monitor. We install the appropriate application and the watch acts as a signal alert.

The remaining capabilities of the watch depend solely on installed application. There are quite a lot of applications themselves and all their functionality would be enough for several full-fledged reviews. So this is a kind of field for extensive experimentation.

AUTONOMOUS OPERATION

The battery capacity in all two models is 130 mAh. For a small watch case this is quite a good indicator. Probably many will think that battery life with such a capacity is small, but this is absolutely not the case.

Essentially, the energy in this watch is spent on: BT connection, vibration and that’s it. The screen itself consumes so little energy that you simply don’t take it into account.

After reading user reviews, many write that on average a full charge lasts for 5 days, but in practice I got completely different results.

And so, I tested the watch in “smart watch” mode with a BT connection, as well as in just watch modes without a BT connection.

In the first case, my battery charge dropped by 10% per day. At the same time, the screen, BT connection and about 30 notifications per day are always on. As you might guess, the watch worked in this mode for exactly 10 days, which is a very good indicator.

In the second mode, my watch worked as usual Digital Watch. The BT connection is disabled and, accordingly, I do not receive any notifications from the smartphone, and vibration does not work. As a result, in 12 days the watch used up 60% of its battery charge. This indicator allows us to say that a full charge will last for an average of 20 days of continuous operation.

In part, Pebble solved the main problem of smartwatches, namely low battery life.

CONCLUSIONS

The watch is just getting ready to appear on our shelves and therefore there is no official retail price yet. If you track the “gray” deliveries of Pebble Steel 401, the price for this gadget is in the range of 15-20 thousand rubles, it all depends on the impudence of a particular seller. Based on the functionality of this watch, we can say that the price is this device quite high. For this money you can buy a watch from a more famous manufacturer and with more extensive functionality. But at the same time, Pebble Steel 401 is captivating appearance and long battery life and this moment This is the longest lasting smartwatch on the market.

The price of the Pebble Smart Watch 301 is not yet known at all, but in any case, this watch should not cost more than 7 thousand rubles. Actually, the Pebble Smart Watch 301 can be recommended as a gift for the fairer sex, and especially in red, the watch looks great on a woman’s hand.

PROS:

1. Metal, leather in Pebble Steel 401 construction.

2. Excellent workmanship.

3. Stylish appearance.

4. Many applications in the company store.

5. Unsurpassed battery life.

6. Easy to set the clock.

7. Dive in watches to a depth of up to 50 meters.

8. Support for Android OS from version 2.3.

MINUSES:

1. High price.

2. There is no support for the Russian language in the proprietary application.

3. Only 8 applications can be installed at the same time.

Let me finish this one, but not latest review smartwatch. Perhaps this article will help you do right choice when choosing these gadgets. Thanks to everyone who took the time to read this material.

Good luck to everyone and see you again!

When Pebble professionals were just thinking through the project of their “smart watch,” they, of course, counted on the success of their brainchild, but did not imagine that it would be so rapid. Money for the implementation of this project was collected “from scratch” through the well-known Kickstarter resource. The plan was to raise several hundred thousand, but unexpectedly investors raised more than $10 million in a month.

At the beginning of 2013, the first copies of innovative “smart watches” were delivered to customers, and since then the gadgets have been actively spreading throughout the world, delighting a huge number of people with their beauty, apparent simplicity and versatility.

Pebble Smartwatch contacts mobile device via a regular Bluetooth connection. It's nice that they are not limited to the possibility of reuniting with just one mobile platform, working with both Android smartphones and Apple iPhone. The operating system is called Pebble OS. You can answer calls, read messages, control your media player without removing your base device from your bag or pocket.

Of particular note is the high-quality black and white display, created using ePaper technology from Sharp and consuming very little energy. Pebble Smartwatch can last five to seven days without recharging. The smartwatch case is made of high-quality plastic, and the comfortable and durable strap is made of Soft Touch rubber. A big plus is the water resistance of the Pebble Smartwatch - the watch will remain intact even if it lies at the bottom of the pool for some time.

It is worth noting that smart watches are constantly being improved, and we will probably see more than one generation of these unique devices.

We strive to ensure that our service is worthy of the quality of our excellent products. Our managers are ready to answer all questions and help with choosing a Smartwatch or any other device. Our online store is open to everyone!

Advantages: 1. unlike most smart watches, they work for 2 weeks with active use and a month in just watch mode 2. always show the time. the screen does not go dark. 3. price. Pebbles are one and a half times cheaper than most other smartwatches. 4. large community. a huge number of programs, games and watch faces. 5. buttons. they are large and move smoothly. in my opinion, much more convenient than poking something on a touch screen. 6. waterproof. You can take them to the shower, to the pool, or to the river. 7. alarm clock. I forgot what a squealing alarm clock on a smartphone is. The watch wakes you up with vibration, and this is not so annoying. 8. The creators do not forget about their brainchild and periodically release firmware updates with new features. 9. The eink screen is perfectly readable in the sun. 10. Having configured Tasker, you can assign any commands to your watch to control your smartphone, from launching applications to clearing memory and changing processor modes. Disadvantages: 1. there are no fake whistles. Because of this, the watch only complements the smartphone, but does not expand its functionality. The same weights from Samsung have a pulse sensor. 2. quite large sizes. but this is a disease of all smartwatches. 3. Some people may be put off by the black and white screen. 4. The entry threshold is too high. even avid geeks will have to spend an evening or two to figure everything out and set up normal synchronization with a smartphone. 5. There is no Russian language by default. is not a big problem, since the watch is flashed in 1 minute with custom firmware. 6. 8 slots for watches and applications. no other way. applications are installed and uninstalled in 5 seconds, but sometimes you don’t want to go into the application on your smartphone again and reconfigure something. By the way, all downloaded applications and watchfaces remain available in the smartphone application and to install them you do not need to go and download them from the store. 7. If the Android is below 4.3, then you will have to confuse a little with synchronization. 8. There are a great many applications and watchfaces, but there are no more than a hundred that are really useful and beautiful. 9. You will most often use it to check the time or set an alarm, since after a couple of weeks all these minute-to-minute notifications will start to get boring. Well, you can also use it as a note-taker, a cycling computer, an organizer with a calendar, a timer and a calculator, and also to check the weather. 10. poor (at the moment) native application for a smartphone. it's terribly dull. and this is the main reason to set everything up at once, so as not to mess with it anymore. Comment: more of a toy for geeks than a vital thing. yes, Pebbles are probably one of them best smart watches at the moment, but the importance of the smartwatch itself is clearly exaggerated. Unlike most of its competitors, the Pebble is a watch with advanced functionality, and not the other way around - a smart thing with the ability to show the time. I highly recommend it to all geeks, but I don’t recommend it to ordinary “mortals”.
