Pebble Steel Smartwatch: Still Not The Smartest Smartwatch, But It Is The Best-Looking And Most Wearable Smartwatch In The Market Today

The new Pebble Steel smartwatch is the "best smartwatch so far" says David Pogue of Yahoo Tech. And Eric Limer at Gizmodo agrees with that verdict, in addition noting that "Pebble Steel manages to be your most wearable option...it's also the prettiest by far. Pebble beat Apple to making a gadget that is actually jewelry."
Pebble Steel though is basically still the same original 2013 Pebble smartwatch but with a new, more elegant makeover look. It has the same open-source Pebble OS v2, the same 1.26-inch 144x168 e-paper display, the same scratch-proof gorilla-glass coated screen, the same LED backlight, the same layout for the 4-button interface, the same ARM Cortex-M3 CPU, the same 130mAh battery with 5-7 day life, the same waterproof capability as the original plastic Pebble. Pebble Steel has the same level of functionality as plastic Pebble.
What differentiates the new Pebble Steel from the original plastic Pebble smartwatch is just that its smaller and tighter case is crafted in marine grade stainless steel and it ships with both leather and metal watch bands. In fact, it now seems that Pebble Steel was not really meant to totally replace the $150 plastic original. Instead, it's intended to be marketed side by side with the original as a classier, more presentable, less gaudy alternative. At its slightly higher price of $249, Pebble Steel can be worn by those who have to go to business meetings and fine dining restaurants.
Pebble Steele comes in two finishes: brushed stainless steel or matte black. It began shipping January 28 of this year. According to its website, Pebble Steel is in very limited supply.
