This review of the Pebble Time Round is for two sets of people: Pebble fans and the vast majority of us who would only wear a smartwatch if it doesn't look big or dorky.Pebble is actually going after that second category with its latest watch. Its first r...

Purely on the basis of the battery life and the (so far) limited number of apps, the Pebble Time Round won't be for everyone. But no smartwatch is. What matters is that Pebble has proved that it has the design chops to add to its terrifically simple OS an...

Smartwatches are subjected to many metaphors: “Smartphones on your wrist.” Mmm, not quite. Maybe in a few more years. “A wearable computer.” Depends on your definition of “computer.” Better keep looking. “An extension of your smartphone.” Now, that's an i...
It all depends on why you want a smartwatch. For me, it's perfect — -a no-bullshit watch that gives me notifications from my smartphone, has a few apps that make my life easier, keeps my daily schedule organised, and can last over the weekend. Sounds grea...

“It looks like a watch!” my wife proclaimed, when I showed her the Pebble Time Round. She wasn't stating the obvious. She meant that out of all the smartwatches she'd ever seen, it's the first one that looks like something she would wear.In case you're no...

It lacks feature distinction. Pebble's primary appeal was that it could do what other wearables can't – mainly, it worked on iOS and Android, had stunningly long battery life, and was also waterproof. Now, with Android Wear being available on both OSes (...

Smartwatches are a product group where manufacturers still seem to be hopeful in, if you look at the number of models that have been released. We decided to take a look at all the smartwatches we've tested recently to find out which one is the best. F...
Anno 2016 a smartwatch cannot be labeled unmissable and essential. It's definitely a nice gadget to have, but you'll get through the day just fine without one, without ever feeling that you miss something. Manufacturers have realized that marketing a sm...
