I struggle with modern smartwatches. I loved my various pager watches in the 90s, but once the Apple Watch was released, that changed. Today’s devices try to do too much, and they feel like yet another piece of tech I have to deal with, rather than the companion watches they were meant to be.When I heard Pebble was making a comeback, I was excited. I loved my first Pebble watch in 2014, and I wanted to see if Pebble could recapture that same feeling in 2026. I ordered one immediately to find out, and after a long wait, I finally got to try.
