The Pebble Time is the latest smartwatch from Pebble, the small company who set records for the largest project on crowd-funding website Kickstarter with their original self-titled smartwatch. It is the first smartwatch to launch with a colour e-ink screen and comes with a new operating system, allowing it to compete better against the Apple Watch and Android Wear without sacrificing the weeks-long battery life that sets it apart from the competition.
In this article, we’ll share the latest release dates and availability forecasts for the Pebble Time and its metal-clad cousin, the Pebble Time Steel.
The Pebble Time was originally expected to come to retail in May, but delays have beset the smartwatch for many retailers. An official release date for third-party retailers has yet to be announced, but Mobile Fun have received information that suggests that it has been pushed back all the way to August.

The Pebble Time Steel is also expected to be released later this year, although there’s no specific information on its launch date yet. The Time Steel is a metal version of the Time, with a much more professional look, increased durability and a higher price point to match. The Steel version of the original Pebble was very highly reviewed, and it seems likely that the new model will match its predecessor in this regard.
