First impressions of Pebble

So I’ve had the pebble for a few days now. I’ve got used to wearing it, which I didn’t think I would as I haven’t worn a watch for about 5 years now. So far I have to say I like it. The watch faces are nice, the notifications are great although a little erratic at times, and it doesn’t feel strange.

The down side is that it still feels like the interface isn’t quite there as yet. I know that there’s a new version of the firmware coming soon and that will sort out a lot of the problems that the pebble has and will make it more intuitive, and I’m looking forward to that. I suppose in many ways that signals that the pebble is a work in progress in some ways. There’s nothing wrong with that at all, in fact it’s quite fun seeing what’s coming next, and I can see that the improvements are being made.

Once the new firmware is out I think I’ll do another update after that and see how things have improved. For now, I think Pebble is quite good. I’m pleased I got one.

Look what arrived!

Actually it was a couple of days ago now, but yes, it is a pebble watch. I’ve been wearing it for a couple of days now, and I plan to start posting a daily or semi-daily review or update of how I’m finding it and general thoughts on wearable computing.

So, more to come soon.
