“The Pebble Time 2 is a small, relatively innocuous smartwatch. It doesn’t do that much beyond acting as a wearable smartphone companion. And yet the Pebble experience is like walking along a beach finding that one smooth stone that you fall in love with, despite there being billions of rocks strewn in every direction. There are many like it, but that one brings me joy.”

“The Pebble Time 2 is probably not for you, and that's fine, because it fulfills a vital role for those of us who crave something *less* from their watches.”
