" ... I use an S7 galaxy android phone, I downloaded the pebble app and followed directions on the phone and watch and every thing connected beautifully. ... Both watches vibrate on calls and messages ... Then you can sign in for free and your watch will automatically connect to the rebble servers who are now supplying info to the watch! ... "
" ... I don't use nearly all of the features but it does what i want, it tells time and lets me know when my phone is ringing or when i have a text message. ... "
" ... I absolutely love this smart watch. ... This Pebble smart watch worked flawlessly. ... "
" ... I needed something that receives texts so I don’t have to be on my phone. ... "
" ... Love the faces and App, but text messages from my iPhone 8 do not come through. ... "
" ... It'll notify you of calls, texts, emails, social media, whatever your phone gets, the watch gets. ... "
" ... I can send and receive text messages, listen to my music. ... "
" ... I really enjoy my watch and it does keep me from always having to look at my phone. ... "

" ... It has several "apps" at the new Rebble site and so you can STILL get function out of this thing, and at an INCOMPARABLE price. ... "
" ... If you're looking for a decent, affordable smart watch with good apps available, I wold highly recommend this. ... "
" ... By adding the "Repeat Timer" app to this watch, I can set the watch to start counting down exactly in sync with real time without drifting through an entire day, and be alerted with one vibration every minute. ... "
" ... Still very useful old smartwatc for programming apps ... "
" ... Love the faces and App, but text messages from my iPhone 8 do not come through. ... "
" ... All the mostly free apps are controlled from my phone. ... "
" ... of Apps and iPhone notifications work well and are easy to read. ... "
" ... I have a very cheap android phone ($50) and installed "Pebble OLD VERSION" from Goggle play. ... That immediately synced with my Pebble and allows me to install apps. ... Most apps have not been updated since 2015, and if they require dynamic content from a developer (such as maintaining a web hosting service to push data to the app) it seems as most of the dynamic content has been abandoned. ... I'm actually OK with that and anticipate this as Pebble was intended as an open source development community. ... So most classic apps seem to be made by hobbyists and people just having fun. ... It syncs with the Amazon Music Android App and allows me to control the tracks remotely. ... I can easily setup notifications from ANY android app and usually dismiss the notification from my watch (great for setting up reminders). ... "
