Pebble claims the Time can manage seven days on a single charge. It runs on an ARM 100MHz Cortex M4 processor and has 256KB of RAM, which is plenty for its capabilities. You can’t store music directly on the watch, so if you want tunes on the go you’ll have to bring your phone with you and use the Time as a Bluetooth remote control.

There’s only 16MB of on-board storage, and during our use this didn’t run out even with app downloads.

I suspect the e-paper screen will be a make or break for many – we got used to its cheerful retro feel, but it is markedly less impressive than the excellent screens on (admittedly more expensive) watches from the likes of It takes a little while to get used to how it works, but after a while it becomes intuitive. You control the watch via four physical buttons (back, up, down and enter) as there’s no touchscreen here. It’s available for around £40 more than the Time. Pebble also claims the Time is water resistant to 30m, for all those times you fancy a deep sea dive on your lunch break.Īs mentioned, the more premium Pebble Time Steel has the same software functionality as the Time, but comes with a material strap and metallic body. On the reverse is a two-dot magnetic charging point, which you can’t feel at all when wearing against your skin.
