Like a smart phone but a watch
I’m really loving experimenting with the Fossil. It’s a great old smartwatch from before we called things smartwatches and before we knew what a wearable was. Hopefully in the not too distant future I’ll have some apps for it too.
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.
Sometimes simple bits of information give you just what you need to know. This is a good example of that.
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.
I have never let it drop this low before. It was interesting to see how it deals with the battery dropping down that low.
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.
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.
It might not be the most musical app in the world, but it is really very useful, and beautifully simple too. It uses the vibration in the watch to pulse as a metronome. It’s very simple to use and quite effective. I don’t know how good its timing is, but that’s not a massive deal right now.
It’s been such a long time that I’m beginning to question whether I heard it correctly or rather read it correctly. But I’m sure I did. I’m sure that Pebble said that that was something that they were working on ages ago, but so far, it hasn’t arrived unless I’ve missed it. What would I use it for? I don’t know to be honest, maybe nothing at all in the end, but I’d like to have the chance to play around with it.
I know I’ve mentioned this before, but their Kickstarter campaign is nearly done now and I thought I’d give it one more plug to see if it is worthwhile for someone. So, to recap, If you’ve already back Blocks on Kickstarter, then you can get extra credits by going here (my page) and that gets you credits which allows you to get extra modules (which is the main thing that you might be interested in if you’ve back Blocks on Kickstarter, right).
So, if you’ve already backed their kickstarter, then go here and do what it says. If you haven’t and were planning to back the kickstarter, then do that first, then go here. Make sense?
