If I had said last December that the first part of 2015, SmartWatch would make headlines around the world, breaking sales records and create a steady stream of updates, hashtags and bad puns, there would naturally assumed you were talking clock Apple. During the past five months we have been eagerly awaiting the "early 2015", the debut of the first portable input Apple how important it is normally put its competitors Android Wear on ice as buyers wait to see what Follow Apple can really do.
But while we have to rest at least another 30 days (well, maybe less) to tie one on our wrists, Pebble-humble Pebble-went ahead and increased Apple, LG, and anyother else planning to show a new SmartWatch in Mobile World Congress next week. It is a bright bold move, which shifts the focus back to itself (at least until a week from Monday, anyway), and positions Pebble as a viable option in the increasingly homogenous SmartWatch landscape.
Now, is not likely to convince anyone interest to leave thousands in a solid gold Apple Watch Edition, but the new time model provides Pebble as a dreadful challenger to Apple sport watch, perhaps much more than what we have seen going Android Wear. No iPhone user in their right mind would switch to a Samsung Galaxy or Motorola X only a watch, but Pebble offers something few others can claim smartwatches: iOS agreement.
If Apple is the favorite in the race SmartWatch, once in regard to iPhone users, Pebble is the weakest accomplished, going so far as to launch its new watch on Kickstarter and crowdfunding reviving the credibility that made his bones. Pebble not limited to slide before the decided onslaught of Apple, managed to gain on the trendsetting with a product that is pretty much the reverse of Apple Watch.
Abnormal against the graceful curves and sapphire crystal Apple Watch, Pebble Time probably seems a cheap imitation to the normal observer, but that's not the point. Nothing about Pebble time is luxury. The company knows it can not compete with Apple in the front of fashion, and is not trying. While Pebble Steel last year introduced quality materials to give the watch a more adult atmosphere, the new model goes back to its roots, true to her (just a little thinner and more elegant) discrete design and placing a renewed emphasis on functionality. While smartwatches circular may have a certain visual appeal, the decision of Apple to make a watch with a equal face has some supporting Pebble unwanted, which undoubtedly contributed to its strong sales during the first days.
Like Apple Watch, Pebble Time has correpondent bands, but not the sale of a series of supports exactly manufactured with gold and magnetic Milanese mesh; rather, time was given a standard 22 mm pin side, which means that you can design with little or no cost to the user. Again, Pebble not going to beat Jony Ive to any design awards here, but is giving people a level of customization is not possible with Apple Watch.
Weather eliminates the most visible defect Pebble adding a color screen, but also pales in testing to Apple's retina display Rights Watch. But remember: biggest selling point Pebble on any of his colleagues has always been its battery life than a week, and 64 screen color does not sacrifice a second of it. It is an impressive feat (even if the screen looks like something from the 90s), and puts daily load expected from Apple Watch in a harsh light.
While Pebble gave its colourful screen updates necessary, yet surprisingly not add support for fingers. That's straight-up weird for SmartWatch, and certainly turn some buyers, but actually makes sense to Pebble. If time was to have a touch screen lag or shaky, would DOA. So to keep things simple, Pebble is to ensure the best possible user experience, with a bar at the lower end Apple's clock has to clear.
Without a touch screen navigation Pebble is based on the same four side buttons (back, up, down, select) as the original model. Perhaps not so surprising for a navigation tool as digital Corona Apple, but also not so complex. The learning curve is practically nonexistent Pebble-feels as natural as a digital clock and weather does not add any unwanted complications just to compete with Apple Rights Watch.
Both watches are in different leagues for sure but remains to be seen how big the market for a luxury SmartWatch actually is. At $ 350, the cheapest Apple clock is approximately twice the Callao (and that's before entering the potentional prices nose-bleed printing edition). There are a lot of iPhone users who can not see beyond the subsidized price of that device, and for them, a $ 179 Pebble SmartWatch could be the perfect phone for $ 199
