Pebble Time Arrived. Everyone I knew liked or loved it. Pebble team had done a fantastic job upgrading the original Pebble to this one. I honestly didn't like the original one at all, but this one? I had many reasons to love it, yet a lot of compromises came with it.

Pebble screen wasn't particularly outstanding; very low contrast; but it somehow looked much sharper than the original one which was black and white and oddly had the same exact resolution. Pebble screen was one of the unique screens since its backlight didn't make any better. It was good on its own, very readable in direct sunlight; however, if you were looking at Pebble ads on Facebook or anywhere and you thought for a second that screen would be that vivid, you would be disappointed. In my opinion, the screen was already good enough. If I could change, I would love to have a bit more saturation. Anyway, it wasn't anything close to dealbreaker at all.

Up to this point, I was happy that I decided not to get Pebble Time Steel which I was sure of that it lasted longer than regular Pebble Time, but I doubted it ever hit 7-day battery.

### Update firmware v3.2
This brought you a nice settings as far as screen and vibrator were concerned.
Then, I was annoyed at how hard Pebble __vibrated__. It vibrated too strong, enough to make a beeee noise for anyone sit next to you to notice. That fortunately had changed since v3.2. There were 4 options so far: disabled, low, medium, and high. I liked _low_ very much since it didn't make a sound at all, but if I was outside, I missed notifications 95% of the time. Thus I regularly set to _medium_ which didn't vibrate strong enough for anyone else, but me, to notice.
__Screen brightness__ which made Pebble sucked (color washed out) was improving too. There were 4 intensity options: low, medium, high, and blinding. IMO, I always chose _low_ since too much of backlit intensity did wash out all the color. Also, there was a newly introduced option, __Ambient Sensor__, which let Pebble backlit off all the time when you were outside, but let it turned on if you were inside the building. It was a good try to maximize battery life.
These two new options should give my Pebble Time a better battery life, right? I would update if there was any differences. So far, I didn't see any noticable change though.
