Our quick take

Pebble Time Steel - 4.0 / 5

Pebble Time Steel review: Built to last

Pebble Time Steel review: Battery bump

Pebble Time Steel review: Smooth operator

To recap

It’s worth spending that extra £50 to buy the Steel over the standard Pebble Time, because it’s a nicer, more substantial watch by comparison and, quite simply, operates more smoothly. But just as we said of the standard Pebble Time, the Steel can’t do everything the Apple Watch or many Android Wear devices can do far better, so it won’t be the solution for all.
