Pebble or Pebble Steel

[Dilski]

Hej!

I have been wanting to get a smart watch for a while now. I've looked at them and they are all too expensive or crap for me with the exception of a pebble. It ticks all the right boxes in my opinion and is what a smart watch should be.

A friend got the Pebble Steel for Christmas and he loves it. I've had a play and I am going to buy a pebble watch.

However, the issue lies on which one I should buy. I have looked at prices for new and used and it seems the Steel will cost me twice as much. What does the steel have which the other doesn't and is the steel really worth the double price?

Thank you in advance!

Cuz the steel takes more time to manufacture than the regular pebble.

steel because it feels more like a real watch.

The Steel looks much better, has a better screen and some extra features, watch Linus's video for more of what it does, I don't actually own a pebble or pebble steel (because i'm poor) but I think that its great

 

 

edit: It is worth the price

I don't think there are any extra features on the steel, the software is the same and the electronic are almost exactly the same.

still, the more robust gorilla glass screen and the new look is worth it to me, if only I have the money to get it, i spent all my saving on a new computer

They are quite literally the same on the inside, just different looks and materials. Keep in mind that stainless steel and glass are much more expensive to produce and implement then plastic. In the end it feels and looks a lot nicer, but whether it's worth the cost or not is completely up to your personal preference. I would save my money and get the regular Pebble, my dad if given the choice would shell out the extra cash for the Steel without a single hesitation.

Its worth it for the better look and gorilla glass screen, not to mention the ability to load 8 watchfaces/apps instead of the original pebble's 4. I got a Pebble Steel at christmas and i think they're great.
