Pebble Time review: better on Android than iPhone

Pebble's latest smartwatch is more capable and useful when connected to Android over an iPhone, but the competition is stiffer

The Pebble Time is a smartwatch focused on doing notifications on the wrist and telling the time, but when paired with an Android smartphone it's a lot more capable than with an iPhone.

That's because the way Google has designed notifications on Android and integrated them into its Android Wear watches has left the door open for third-parties.

Pros: always-readable e-paper screen, long battery life, waterproof to 30m, light, comfortable to wear

Cons: cannot reply or action notifications after initial alert, no recently used emoji list, not as capable as Android Wear, cannot mute the phone
