[7] Until March 2022, the Pebble Time Smartwatch was officially the most successful campaign on Kickstarter, with almost 80,000 backers pledging $20 million.
[10] Users can also respond to text messages with the Pebble's microphone, check the weather, create checklists, make voice notes, and view Google Maps directions.
It enables the wearer to look at past and future notes, either reminders, alarms, app notifications, scores, weather reports or others.
The completed or viewed notifications, ESPN scores, and calendar events are in the "past" section, which is highlighted yellow.
[13] The smartwatch comes with a Gorilla Glass 64-color e-paper always-on display developed by JDI with 144x168 resolution and has a pixel density of 182 ppi.
Unlike its predecessor, the cable attaches to the back of the watch rather than the side, and has the potential to transfer data rather than just power.
Pebble Technology, Corp announced on its developer site that it is possible to create accessory ports on watchbands, otherwise known as "smartstraps".
It enables the wearer to attach additional equipment to the watch, including sensors, batteries, and miscellaneous.
The Time 2 would have featured a larger 228x200 1.5 inch color display, an optical heart rate monitor and improvements to Pebble Health.
The Verge gave the watch a 6.8 on its score, summing up by saying that while it is fun at some points, "the Pebble Time doesn't do enough to change that.
"[23] Tom's Guide gave it 3.5 out of 5 stars, saying that it's "the company's most luxurious smartwatch to date, but it's a better choice for Android users.
