... Strengths and weaknesses of the Pebble. On the positive side, the low energy consumption reduces the number of charging cycles and thus extends the battery life, especially compared to the competition from Samsung. The wristband is standardized and can be easily replaced. The inaccessibility of the battery, on the other hand, can be criticized - if the battery is defective, the watch can be disposed of. Estimates from iFixit give it six to ten years. All other internal repairs are also impossible due to the glued outer shell. This is of course also due to the certified water resistance up to 50 meters. Nevertheless, Pebble is already working on a sustainable recycling program for old smartwatches.
