Bad choice: Pebble

Since I have my Pebble Time it’s been a year and after testing it for so long I can show my conclussions: definitely, it is a bad product.

It is a lie from the company that the battery last for 1 week. If you use the watch to see notifications from your phone, use it for other applications like a timer and so on, basically what is it a normal use, battery is exhausted in 4 days. Very far away from the seven days they assure to you. Ok, you can always send a report use to Pebble’s support center, but they always ask you to test the following: activate airplane mode, uninstall whatever applications are non-pebble and see what happens. The result is that battery lasts for 7 days. However, there are non-smart whatches that do the same thing in this situation and they are able to be in function for more than 7 months.

Each time the watch is out of range of the phone, notifications are lost forever, even if the whatch is in range again. This is maybe the worst of Pebble. There are a lot of situations where both watch and phone are going to be out of range: charging the watch, charging the phone, going out and want to change your clock to a beatiful one for that night… When you can back and join phone and watch again, your phone says “Your Pebble is connected”. And so it is! But when a notification arrives, Pebble doesn’t recognizes it.

I have tried many thing to solve this problem, no one succeded. The only solution to temporaly make Pebble notificates you again is: in your phone, go to “Application Manager”, go to “Pebble” and clean cache, erase data; then, go to “Bluetooth settings” and forget your actual connection with your Pebble; go to your Pebble and forget your actual connection with your phone; pair again and that it is. Now you have to configure again your health’s configuration settings, date time settings and whatever.
