You're really that bothered over £4 after having it a month ???

Surely a chav will be nipping down to Brighthouse and spending twice the RRP on an iWatch?

Then you'll have too much time on your hands...

Wheres the festive spirit :stuck_out_tongue:

The app is called Pebble Time and the feature on the watch is called Timeline. Now let's all group hug.

Further to my comment about how good pebble is... I'm wanting to sell my Moto 360... Does anybody want it? I have no idea if I'll be able to sell it tbh...

Did you try waving a red rag in front of it?

My pebble steel will not charge!

Picked up the steel yesterday and wow! The minimalist interface is what is all about.. Only realised after owning and using moto 360... Android wear is like strapping a full blown phone to wrist... This isn't and that's how it should be!

pure crap its like buying a b&w tv

Getting the pebble steel from Currrys today... Picking it up :wink:

Recommend apps please? Thanks :smiley:

Your text hereAUJ

Who needs one if these? I bought one a few weeks ago out of curiosity expecting it to be on eBay by now.

Actually, it's bloody brilliant and simply don't leave the house without it. At this price just try it.

cold b and w screen lol just lol

I am really tempted by this or the Sony Smart watch 3.

Can anyone tell me if I used this with RunKeeper can I start the activity using the watch? I like the fact I can change music tracks and receive texts via the watch.

Thank you

If you pay via Fast Track, then you have paid for the items and just need to go and pick them up. So you can pay £49.95 and that's done and paid for.

Reserving is different as it is the price you pay when you collect, which is a pain as it can catch you out when you do go to collect the item and as you say it has doubled in price again.

I reckon Argos is a con, They had these in store yesterday at £99, now at £49.95 every near by store is 4-5 days to collect by which time the price will be back to £99

They r same pice in Argos but have to wait 5 days to collect it and they do them in different colors

Code doesn't work sadly

Reserved but have to wait 5 day and no doubt price will be up

In argos for £49.99 again if you can find stock.

Thanks Avenger - ordered

Thanks Avenger, I have taken the plunge and bought one. Couldn't get the very code to work but hopefully 10% off via quidco instead.

Dont know if anyone is interested but very have these instock for del for 47.99

http://www.very.co.uk/pebble-smart-watch-black/1458062897.prd?_requestid=224825

also can get a £30 off voucher for first orders using this code 6JMTC

Should make it about £27

Was gonna go for one of these but went for the Sony Smart Watch 3 SWR50 - Black with voucher comes to £59

This has been out of stock at Currys for the last 2 days across North England and Scotland. I've had this many times before with Currys, they have no intention of selling the product at this price, and use it just to get traffic to their site hoping you will buy something else when there.

I seriously doubt you will see it come back in stock until the price has gone back up.

So I went into my local Currys today. I had given up on the Pebble but noticed the Pebble Steel was on offer, check online and in stock so said sod it and went in. I noticed no smartwatches on display so I asked, "Aw we don't keep them in stock, we order them in via our website" I thought to myself well whats the bloody point in that? I could just get it delivered to my house at that rate, and the fact it said "AVAILABLE FOR COLLECTION" I suppose they are telling the truth, it would be available for collection just not when you go in, they order them in as required.

Are all the store like this?

You mean cool whats up didnt you get one.

am gonna sound really dumb here but what do these actually do?

Why it is expired? It is still available to collect in stores...

You need the phone.

Ok

Smokin' hot price but OOS!

I have a reservation for a white 49.99 one at Burton on Trent Argos if someone wants it? First to drop me a PM

I have ordered and received the pebble £45 from pc world but also ordered the Garmin vivoactive £99 from amazon so im keeping the new Garmin vivoactive and have a used once (today) pebble boxed with cash receipt for guarantee and also a Garmin 210 in black which the new Garmin will replace. so if you have missed the above deal? and are interested?... rick.ryder(AT)btinternet.com

Stock in the north has been limited from the outset, keeps popping up with some so worth checking currys site. Seems to have been more stock down south. Wonder if the flooding and weather up here has been a problem. There was one in Teeside this morning. Nearest now to me is Skegness (still miles away).

I'm wondering if Argos will do this as a new year special. If not might need to try Amazon at 63.99

Bit of a con lol should have got here when it was first posted i did and i got one very easy.

You need your phone. There is no GPS unit in this watch.

Fulham and Banbury have them

Really like mine. Get about 5 days' battery life. Notifications are good. Screen clear and navigation is easy. Don't plan to upgrade until battery is better in Android wear devices. Alarm is handy too.

​Hi re tracking running do you require to have your phone on your person or does the watch contain a gps unit?

big fat cold from me, b and w display is just laughable

Out of stock for collection....not available for home delivery. I hope they get more stock in or Amazon drop their price!

Does anyone know, if I'm using Bluetooth headphones connected to my phone, can I still have the watch connected to the phone (and use its features such as music control)?
Any feedback much appreciated!

TOLD

Love how they reduced the price when hardly any store have them in stock, My nearest store with stock is Douglas in the IOM, I'm in Northern Ireland, not even one in Scotland.

​i deleted the old app soon as pebble time was installed. the watch is so much nicer to use now :smiley:

Got mine brand new from cex £40

I bought one of these from currys before Xmas at 49.99, it won't charge, possible faulty charger cable. It's going back for a refund. Had a play with it though and liked its simplicity, decided to order a pebble steel as a replacement..

Patrick

I picked one up a few weeks back for £34.99 from Gatwick Airport Currys! I couldn't believe my luck! Great piece of kit!

any one know if there is a way to buy the front screen and how to replace it.
I've seen a few pebble classic with different front face colours

I notice an Argos banner still advertising this as £44.99, sadly once you click on it £99.99

I have one reserved at Fulham store until end of today if anyone wants the code?

How do I get Amazon to price match please Michael

Just got one at Banbury currys pcworld, ordered it this morning, 40 min drive but well worth it, they've got more in stock for collection if anyone's interested.. Thank you OP

Chav? Spending? What is a Brighthouse?

Dose any one know how I get my Facebook notifications on it tho ? That's the only thing that doesn't seem to work for me. iPhone.

what's better this or the LG G watch? seem LG in black on amazon for 69 whereas in white it's 179.99!good deal or is this pebble better? The LG seems to do a lot more? Looking for help as wanting a smart watch but completely new to it

Got mine

Just snagged one from Romford - thanks OP.
I nearly caved and went for the Steel but this is a bargain as a first foray into smartwatch land and the battery life is a major plus

Also, in reply to one of the posts earlier, if you don't know why you need a smartwatch and you're happy with a £16 Casio then...you don't need a smartwatch. No need to be baffled, no need to be bemused - just ignore threads like this and enjoy your Casio

This will give loads better battery life, sunlight readability, better reliability generally as well as a vast array of customisable watch faces and support for standard 22mm straps.

Very toyt!
Lol

Used mine for the 1st time on a long drive last night. Awesome & worth every penny.

It briefly showed on Argos for 49.99 on Christmas Day,like you have spotted back up to full price now.
Amazon cheapest at £66.

​argos shows that at £99.95

Not much of an offer if no one has it in stock.

I have one of the cheap and nasty u8 watches. what can this do that u8 can't? the u8 can be used to answer calls which this can't...

One in Workington CA14. Too far for me.

OOS pretty much everywhere in London...

Out of stock in every store in Northern Ireland

The steel one has a newer stronger magnet for the charger, tri-colour led for the charging display and gorilla glass from what I've heard/read.
Hope that helps

It says it's out of stock everywhere near me

My only one criticism with this watch is that the charging cable is a bit fiddly, the magnets need to be a bit stronger as its too easy to knock the cable whilst charging.

Thanks OP - ordered for click and collect a couple of hours ago and picked one up for my daughter as she asked for a smartwatch as one of her Christmas wish lists and this fit the bill perfectly.

First thoughts are that its very light weight and the charging magnetic clip could do with being a bit more magnetic as it drops off with very little force.

What did you not like about pebble and why do you think android wear is better? Thinking of ditching android wear an moving to pebbe [moto 360 1st gen]

​Dont agree. I sold my Pebble Steel to get an LG G Watch R. Andriod OS is much better and my LG is a much better watch

Can't find a Currys that has it available for collection.

I got one a few weeks back, £42 odd via Flubit and Amazon. It was my Xmas present from the wife ..

Opened it yesterday, set it up, updated the software, and gotta say it's actually very good. Love the display (very clear and readable), very tweakable, and works very well with my iPhone

Does anyone know if whatsapp works on it !! Could be a deal breaker..

how is this compared to fitbit charge and surge?

in the same mind too, do I pay extra for the design and look or stick with the original and save some money

By the time you've allowed for fuel, parking and the time taken, I'm not sure I'd bother (I paid 49 for mine a couple of weeks ago)

Same functionality and software. Just a different casing. Steel is a fancier looker to the original. Depends what you want on your wrist as to where it's worth the extra or not.

I want one but 45 miles away! Hope some more stores get stock soon!

I want one but 45 miles away! Hope some more stores get stock soon!

What is the main differences between this watch and the Pebble Steel deal Amazon/Currys have got for £79.99, other than the strap...

http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/pebble-steel-smartwatch-79-99-currys-silver-matte-black-free-delivery-2359608

Are they theoretically the same watch with slightly different designs, or does one watch have more features than the other?

I tend to try and balance my wrists out equally , it helps a lot

Hull and Kendal still have stock. Too far away from me but might be of use to someone.

I'd have got one from Argos but now back up to £99.99. Great deal at sub £50.

Also to answer my earlier question about the pebble and runkeeper...

You cannot explicitly start or stop an activity from the Pebble watch. Only pause-resume actions are possible.

Does anyone know if this is possible with a Sony Smart watch 3?

Would've nabbed myself one of the closest one wasn't over 50 miles away, obviously hot anyway

Maybe it's been asked already.

Can this run APK files? I remember reading that they might run android watch apps. Can this?

i must say i got the oh this for xmas, im surprised (in a good way) how small it is, i thought he would think it was just a gimmick, but the more he uses it the more hes impressed, paired with his LGG4, when we were out he received a call (watch started vibrating and showed who was calling) the phone as usual wasn't making a sound or vibrating itself (finding these a bit of a pain as we are always missing calls & texts) shows up tweets and weather etc, bonus that it can skip songs as we haven't got the £100 pair of earphones capable of doing that yet, another plus is that he doesn't need to use the passcode on his phone when in range, just a swipe and it opens =) anymore advice on features/apps would be great.

Is there anywhere that will price match this? None in stock near me:(

Do you reckon they would refund the diifference to me? Bought this less than a month ago for 49 :?

Is there any difference between this and the 80 quid steel version in functionality?

4 times the RRP if you use their "easy payments" and compulsory insurance cover.

Amazon price match or nah?

I've gone through a fair few of those. Or rather I went for the £6.99 ones on the grounds I wasn't going diving :man:

All a big choice depending on what you want and what you need. The Pebble for me fitted the bill.

I see... or I could just wear my £13.49 Casio divers' watch, and get another 3 spare ones in case it breaks :-)

I know, I've become too cynical.

Nice deal for a Pebble

Anyone know the details of the extra features you get by upgrading glance to the premium version, specifically what extra sms replies get unlocked.

Are you saying Amazon are price matching or should be

geeez this thing is huge !!!!! when you walk are you slightly tilted to one side , due to the weight if it ./?

Does whatsapp work through it guys ?

I can do ambient mode and I always do that wham I'm using it.. I just want a chunky timepiece too.. Pebble steel version. Looks good and still functional.. Not as functional as android wear.. But still looks like more of a proper watch? Opinion

Does it work with windows phone?

Up to £99 now on the Argos website :-(

I have android wear... Moto 360 1st gen. I hate that it doesn't have wen always on screen...

Do you guys think I should switch to pebble? Feel like android wear is like a mobile phone attached to my wrist... I realised after purchasing it.

Thoughts from people who have both? Do you find that you're using the pebble more?

Out of stock... Can't seem to find in any store in Lancashire

has anyone changed the strap on theirs? if so how easy is it to do and where did you buy your strap from?

got mine for my birthday in december, didnt know I needed one and have to say they brilliant while I am at work and cant look at my phone.

My old watch gave up the ghost and I was quoted 75 quid for a new movement for it. On seeing it on offer, and, being an old man used to reading the time off my wrist, not digging my phone out of my pocket, thought I'd give it a whirl. And I love it, does what I need it to do with the bonus of picking up the notifications which I was forever missing.

In some jobs, it's not possible to have your phone out to read the time, we're not all paperclips sorters. So if that's not the case and you can have your phone visible all the time, fine, use that instead. Although Apple would prefer you to buy their watch

out of stock in most stores now

Oos

I probably sound like a really old person now: but why would I need a watch to do any of those things? Doesn't my iPhone already do all of them?
Alan

Ahhh I seeee, thank you

More like 3-5 days based on heavy to normal usage.

I've had a pebble steel, Sony Smartwatch 3 and I currently have an Apple Watch and an LG urbane (two phones) and I would suggest spending a little more and getting the Sony Smartwatch 3, especially if you have an android phone - the Pebble is nice and all but there is more functionality to an Android Wear device, and more still to an Apple Watch (though this is obviously only if you have an iPhone) truth is no one *needs* a Smartwatch, you can live life happily without one but they do make life a little easier - IMO the pebble original looks a bit plasticky too, the steel is a nice looking watch though

sorry I may not know this watch, is that just black and white screen or colour?

This explains quite a few things, I got mine a few days ago and I love it!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8oeyv3LiKB0

Just ordered the Steel for 79.99. Thanks for the headsup folks! Looks sweet, especially with the new app

love my pebble. wearing it now

Looks like something from the 80's!

Then you'll have too much time on your hands...

Chavtastic!

found one in thanet kent thanks op..........

Can I ask how close your phone has to be to the watch in order for it to receive texts? I'm thinking of when my phone is in gym locker, sometimes I've been needed at home and missed the call/text. tia

Yes mate, I realise that now, didn't at the time I ordered it.

There is an unofficial app for Windows for this watch but it only allows the phone to sync and play music.

Guys/girls, anyone clued up on these? My son's Nokia Lumia will sync with it, but it only allows him to play music. Pretty pointless having it if you can't use it to its full capabilities?

none left. Should be expired i think.

Oos near me - Manchester

Made the schoolboy error of getting one of these for my son, not realising he has a Nokia Windows phone.

Those complaining about the 7 days battery life, yes, its not great compared to a normal watch but compared to other Apple/Android smartwatches which needs charging at least every 2 days, its definitely a lot better.

Added bonus is, the battery is tiny, so its not like you need to charge it for hours. Once a week, charging for an hour isn't exactly time consuming.

probably around 10-15m at most

I was bought one for my birthday 3 days ago and it's amazing! Only downside I can see is that the apps don't replace the native home screen with info so if you keep pressing back you end up at a standard watchface.

There are alot of apps you also need to download on your phone to work and a few pay walls for nice stuff but so far so good!

Thanks. Ordered from my local Currys for collection tomorrow.

Thanks for the heads up, reserved one at Argos for my cousin. Hopefully one happy teenage boy in a couple of days

Thanks OP & JayExxx managed to reserve at Argos in white! out of stock at currys for me.

​but I do prefer the look of the new one!

No stock in my nearest 9 stores.. Reserved on at Argos for £50 and hoping Amazon will price match the £45 before I collect tomorrow! Thanks for the heads up though..

Nah mate, but that's a tech gear which is obviously much more different case than beans, and obviously about 50 times more expensive as well :smile:
Talking about this watch though, I hope that the other one that is currently on offer for 79 will be about 49 next black friday, will buy it as a replacement then.

Just looked at my quick guide leaflet that came with original pebble last time and I see that there's Manufacturers Warranty for 2 years, but why it states as a 1 year only on Currys website?

Not really clued up about smart watches but how does it differ from the Apple Watch?

Any deals on the Pebble Time Steel?

This watch from Currys Pay and collect or home delivery not available to me here in Liverpool. (but thanks to OP for the alert)

But thankfully Argos have a deal on again for same model with a choice of black, red or white for £49.95, so got a 3day *free* delivery on that...Nephews late xmas prezzy sorted at last...:wink:
http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/4444947.htm

:smiley:

Wheres the festive spirit :stuck_out_tongue:

The app is called Pebble Time and the feature on the watch is called Timeline. Now let's all group hug.

silly question but is this mens or women's or both?

Come on amazon price match!

More info for the App : :wink:

http://help.getpebble.com/customer/portal/articles/2237472-updated-software-for-classic-pebbles?b_id=8309



Updating your software gives you several advantages:

​More apps available to you in the Pebble appstore.

No more 8 app limit for your watch.
The number of apps it can hold will vary depending on their size and function, but you can expect dozens. Any apps that cannot be immediately stored on your Pebble Time will automatically be added to the "My Pebble" section of the mobile app for quick access.

Timeline apps that can incorporate information into your day.

that looks pretty awful in my opinion!!!

Both!

Guys. We have big, huge, enormous news! Timeline, the easy-to-use chronological view of your day that comes standard on the Pebble Time family of watches, is now available to all Classic and Steel users with today's free software update.

It's better than any other smartwatch

Everyone is getting confused - it is called Timeline and gives you a view of your day's appointments.

up to 7dys battery life----:disappointed: freeing cold for me

Wow for this price, its even more VFM! I mean, you'll probably spend that much on a normal watch, so I just count the smart features as an added bonus. I got mine a month ago in the Black Friday Sales and since then the UI has been updated to include Timeline (the feature which was introduced since Pebble Time) and it's been given a new lease of life. Kudos to Pebble for keeping an old product alive.

Its a definite different proposition from what Apple Watch and Android Wear are doing with smartwatches, as in its a watch first and foremost.

Ordered to collect

Actually the App is called 'Pebble Time'

I like the price and the e-ink screen, but no killer app! Just take the smart phone from your pocket and splendour the decent size screen...

This or the steel?

The Pebble Time app does it all, the old app is there just to support legacy apps that haven't updated yet.

actually I have to concede that I was wrong - just looked on my iPhone and the app that controls the watch is indeed called pebble time. it's the standard app that contains the App Store, the watch faces etc..

Any deals for the LG Urban R watch?

thx op just bought myself one. :sunglasses:

​it is an app PEBBLE TIME which allows you to use some features of Pebble time smartwatch!

this will get super hot!! over 1500 degrees I bet :smile:

You have to download the Pebble Time app though to enable timeline on the original Pebble, I think that's what they were getting at.

​software wise they are the same...

can it be used for receiving a phone call?

there is a new app Pebble Time- it adds additional features to original Pebble.It must be installed along with Pebble App.

The steel one is on offer for £79 black or steel.
