They announced new devices this morning. Interesting I guess, but I can’t see myself getting in on this Kickstarter. I’ll probably take a look of course, I don’t think I could avoid that, but I don’t think I’m in the market for another smartwatch. Having said that, I hope that it goes really well for them. I’d like to see them do well against all the competition.

The pebble watch device range
Now that’s a shame, The Aria Pebble Strap is running 2 months late
I was looking forward to this. It seemed like a great device and I’ve got quite a few ideas on how to use it, but they’re going to have to wait now for at least an extra couple of months it seems. These things happen I guess, and let’s face it, all kickstarter stuff tends to be late, especially hardware, so I shouldn’t be too surprised really.
Pebble woes
So my latest update to the firmware on my Pebble Time wasn’t quite so successful it seems. In fact it took a little while to get the thing up and running again. I have no idea why, but it probably took around 30 minutes by the time I’d sorted it out, which was a little annoying really.
I’m hoping that this isn’t the shape of things to come from my Pebble and that it’ll go back to being reliable after this.
A new face
This is my latest selection of watch face for my Pebble Time. I really like it as it not only has a second hand but also a battery meter and the date too. Handy right?
Nice face for your Pebble
Whilst I wouldn’t use it all the time, it’s kind of cool. I do like it. Fun, but also it does have a battery indicator and bluetooth icon as well, so it’s pretty useful too.
Thanks Pebble, that’s very useful
Sometimes simple bits of information give you just what you need to know. This is a good example of that.
A Pebble comparison with the LiveView
Actually the two aren’t that different in size. Of course there’s a wealth of difference in functionality, but the main difference is that the LiveView has been impossible to get to pair so far. I thought I might use it with a Nexus 7, but no luck so far.
My Pebble at 0%
I have never let it drop this low before. It was interesting to see how it deals with the battery dropping down that low.
Starting to find musical applications for Pebble
Whilst obviously I’d like some more complex apps for my Pebble, this is a good start, and its a useful app.
What I’d like to see for Pebble is something more like a controller or some kind of second screen for a music app, I think that there might be something in that.
Monitoring the battery on my Pebble
I downloaded this app to my Pebble Time a few days ago to see if it would be useful. I haven’t opened it since then until this morning. Looking at it now I can see that it probably is going to be one of those apps that stays around on my watch and is probably going to be very handy in the long run.
It’s not one that I’m going to consult every day of course, but once there’s a history built up of how the battery responds it could give some interesting insights.
