  • The new Pebble Steel, a high-end version of the standard Pebble, benefits from upgraded materials and a more mature software platform.

  • The Pebble Steel is squat and looks much more square than the original Pebble. It’s also more boxy.

  • The Pebble’s display is black-and-white and fairly low in resolution, but its battery lasts almost a week.

  • The Pebble Steel is made from stainless steel, and available in silver or matte black.
