The Pebble Steel is probably the most stylish smartwatch I’ve seen on the market, especially with the original steel strap that it comes with. It is not meant to replace the first Pebble, but is a premium version of it. It comes with a stainless steel strap, but I changed it to this limited edition RidleyPro Sportsline strap to suit my sporty personality.

This is the watch that you can wear to a meeting or to a party, as its versatility combines fashion with functionality. While it may not have advanced features that are already out on the market, it makes up for it with other conveniences and emerges as the overall favourite smartwatch of 2014.

Wearable at all times for any occasion, the Pebble Steel fulfils the essential functions of a smartwatch, on top of being good-looking. What is using the Pebble Steel like? Here are the good and the bad…
