And my Pebble Time is on its way

Hopefully I won’t have too long to wait until it arrives, although it does have a fair distance to travel. I’m really interested in seeing how it compares to the original Pebble smartwatch and what sort of functionality I can get out of it compared to the Apple Watch. Not that I have an Apple Watch, but it’ll be interesting nevertheless.

I also want to see how it works with both iOS and Android and work out what’s best and where the most interesting and useful interactions come from. So expect Pebble Time posts in the coming weeks.

Can’t help but notice all the Apple Watch apps

It seems that every app update now has something to do with the Apple Watch. There are going to be so many apps that extend to it soon.

It makes me start to wonder about my decision to go for a pebble time. Of course it’s too late to go back on that but it is nagging at me. I still think that the Apple Watch is too fat and I’m sure that within a couple of years there’ll be one much better and much thinner too. My money is on it being called the Apple Watch Air! Who knows.

Pebble Time is now funded

Well that was a very impressive campaign, especially with the Apple Watch right on its heels, it raised even more money than the first Pebble watch too. I’m especially interested in seeing where their smartStraps initiative leads. I think that it’s a great idea to make the watch strap itself a more responsive and useful part of the device.

Pretty impressed with Pebble

I have to say I’m impressed with Pebble’s latest announcement. It looks pretty good and I think it’s going to give the Apple Watch a good run for its money. Of course the announcement steals the Apple Watch Thunder, and judging by their astonishing Kickstarter performance in one day, people are loving what Pebble have come up with.

Something new coming from pebble

On the pebble web site they’ve got a big countdown timer. Something is coming. In less than 6 days. I’m intrigued. I’m so tempted to get another pebble smart watch, but I’m trying to be patient and see what the Apple Watch is all about until I decide. So will pebble’s news, whatever it is, tip my hand early? I guess it won’t be too long to find out.

I miss my pebble

I really do. I’m just sort of holding off until the Apple Watch arrives to see if that’s going to be good enough or better. I’m also interested in seeing what pebble can do to release a new updated version of pebble.

I like the idea of wearables and smartwatches, but so far they haven’t really done enough for me. I hope that’ll in change.

Regretting my decision over pebble

I’ve been without my pebble smartwatch for several weeks now. I decided to give it up after just not using it in ages. Of course, fairly quickly after giving it up Pebble announced version 2.0 of their firmware and some really cool new functionality. I can’t get it back, but now I really want a smartwatch again! And then, as if to give a final smack in the face, they bring out Pebble Steel.

So, I’m left wondering whether I should even consider getting another pebble, or wait around for the long rumoured iWatch from Apple. Probably the best thing to do is to wait right now, but that’s not as easy as it sounds either.
