The Pebble Watch is here
2013
You may have seen the Pebble watch when it was a Kickstarter.com project. It sure garnered a lot of attention as its initial funding goal of $100,000 was met in a couple of hours. When it was all said and done, it raised over $10,000,000.
My Pebble arrived yesterday, and I must admit that I was impressed by the packaging, the design and its ease of use.
If you haven’t been following Kickstarter, the Pebble watch talks to your iPhone and Android device.
You can choose your own watchfaces:
like this analog one:
or this text one:
and you can use it for as a music remote (handy when you are jogging or skiing):
It also is a caller ID for your phone (and if you have your headset on, you can answer the phone from the watch.)
I can’t wait to see what new Apps take advantage of this, and yes, for the first time since I’ve had a PalmPilot, I’m wearing a watch again.
