But instead of going with an OLED panel, Pebble opted for a color e-paper display. The real differentiator between the Time and the original Pebble, however, is the display - it's now in color. The stainless steel border surrounding the display also gives it a touch of class that I really appreciate - it's certainly better than the original's all-plastic styling. It's a hair thinner than its predecessor at 9.5mm (the original Pebble was 11.5mm thick) and has a slight bend to better hug the curvature of the wrist. Sure, it'll probably look out of place at a fancy cocktail party, but for a simple everyday watch, I think it's alright.Īdditionally, while most smartwatches tend to be oversized and bulky for my slender wrists, the Time's 40.5 x 37.5mm case isn't too big or too small it fits me just right. Yet, the Time has a charm all its own, with a casual, sporty look that I rather like. With its square display, polycarbonate shell and wide silicone bands, the Pebble Time is decidedly more geek than chic.

If you're looking for a stylish fashion-forward smartwatch that can double as a luxury timepiece, look elsewhere.
