This is an era of gadgets and apps. Every now and then, we hear about a new gadget being introduced in the market which is accompanied by tons of amazing features. In this review, we are going to deal with a gadget that is relatively new in the market, but that has not prevented it from racing ahead of all its contemporaries and emerging as the winner. We are referring to the Pebble Steel which is a smartwatch and holds true to its name. Pebble Steel is basically the next edition of the smartwatch Pebble, which was introduced back in 2013. Let us move on with the review and shed some light on the aspects where this watch is lacking and the areas that make it worth every bit of penny.
Lets us first discuss the areas in which the smartwatch merits improvement. The glaring feature which is missing in this smartwatch that might be a cause of concern for the users is the absence of touch sensitivity. Owing to the prevalence of touchscreen smartphones, people have become accustomed to the usage of this feature, so a non-touch smartphone might not fall in line with their requirements. Limited storage capacity is another negative point in this watch. You can only store 8 apps at a given time. Some features which are now being incorporated in smartwatches by other brands are lacking in this one. One might feel the absence of features like a heart rate monitor and other fitness features. You would also have to charge this watch at least twice a week.
However, in spite of these negativity, this smartphone is far from being written off. It is, in fact, racing ahead in popularity. Something about its conventional approach has struck a chord. Let us take a look at the areas where this watch proves its metal. One of the things that work in the favor of this watch big time is its design. The watch looks rather classic and elegant with just the right weight. It would not feel like your wrist is being pulled down, while at the same time it is big enough to be noticed. The elegant design ensures that you can wear it to all your social gatherings and not worry about it looking out of place. The bright and large screen ensures that you would face no difficulty in checking the watch at any time with any light settings.
Another point that works in its favor is that it vibrates on receiving notifications, which would alert you even when you are too busy to notice your phone. The smartwatch is compatible with both Android and iOS. It is water resistant, which implies that you would not have to take it out every time you shower. It comes with a cool leather band as well as a steel band at the cost of extra $20, which ensures that your wrist does not have to bear the brunt of wearing the watch all the time.
All in all, the features of this watch do make it a worthy purchase, especially since it costs much lesser than the other smartwatches and offers everything that they do.
