Pebble SmartWatch: Are Better From Galaxy Gear 2?

The Pebble is extremely comfortable as a watch. Of the three, is the smallest and most similar to a traditional watch? That is, it will not attract looks as curious as the other two models. Of the three smartwatches, is that perhaps works better as a watch, thanks to its highly readable display both day and night, how fast is illuminated with a simple flick of the wrist, and the fact that the Pebble resists being submerged up 5 meters in water.

It is a watch that we feel we wear. A smartwatch happens like clockwork, unnoticed. Until, of course, begins to give us additional functions.

Unlike the other two smartwatches, the Pebble does not offer a touch screen even offers a color screen. It has a monochrome LCD screen with 144 ×-efficient 168 pixels resolution. It is somewhat difficult to get used to buttons after using the other two watches, but the interface Pebble fits quite well to this lack of a touch screen.

The watch face, the way we see the time, is highly customizable. You can download multiple designs with Pebble Faces, or designing ours with Watch face Generator. The watch looks good, but is it cheaper feel. The Pebble is extremely lightweight but features local entirely of plastic, which makes it feel like a toy when it is in our wrist.

Of the three major smartwatches the year, the Pebble has the advantage of being the only platform. If you have an iPhone, or want a synchronized iOS device, your only option is the Pebble.

The Pebble suffered initially problems also plagued the Galaxy Gear on iOS. Ie notification was limited to very few apps, thus limiting their potential. Potential, we could experience on Android. However, this limitation was eliminated with the arrival of iOS 7, which finally gives notifications

The handling of notifications in the Pebble unsatisfactory. Both as the SmartWatch Gear 2 provide a “hub” or a central notification, where we can see that have come and where we saw. In the Pebble, notifications are accumulated one after another on the home screen, leaving the clock in miniature size until the read. And once you see them, they disappear forever from smartwatch. Yes, there is a way to recover, forcing us to remove the phone from the pocket if we ignore a notification by chance. A function will hopefully be remedied with the arrival of OS 2.0 for Pebble.

While the Pebble leads and good time in the market, due to the initial limitations we have almost no “app” available. We alternatives to the default application as SmartWatch + for iOS or Android Glance gives us access to more features than the default ones, such as access to calendar, weather, and more.
