Black and white mode isn't going to provide any battery savings.

Exciting enough to post about it.

Cell phones are overrated as timepieces.

My 14 year old daughter wants the blue one to match her blue iPhone 5C. Probably good for her, too. She frequently misses texts when her phone is on silent (which is often). The Pebble will vibrate her wrist.
well i guess men can forget about wearing these... i was hoping for a decent blue at least that men could wear as well. oh well. guess i wont get one this time around either.
You literally posted:
If you meant "... in comparison to my tiny wrists" then you would have needed to say that in the same sentence. Otherwise, you're just calling the Pebble ridiculously large and then telling us you have small wrists. I think thats the discrepancy.
People actually wear these things? The display looks more ancient than the old Timex Ironman watches, which come to think of it, are really cool. Somehow these Pebble watches just don't do it for me. Timex should team up with Apple. That would be pretty dope.
Okay and I personally still find it ridiculously large. That's just my opinion. I have nothing against the watch I just think if they could knock those bezels down some it would be fine.
But yes I should have also mentioned in my initial sentence in comparison to my wrist and I would imagine most normal womens cases, it's just too big.
That is absolutely the best feature of the Pebble and one that I didn't expect (bought it for iPhone music control). I've never missed a call since getting it, which was a problem for me. Sometimes I just don't feel the phone vibrating or leave it on silence by accident.

I agree it'd be well dope yo brap brap

Strange. I'm a regular old fashioned heterosexual man in a long-term relationship with a female person, with a nice job in a creative field and other normal things. I'd happily wear any of them. But I'll stick with my red one because it looks beautiful.
I've only used Pebble. I agree about buttons but I think an iWatch or whatever should have both.
Cars are over rated... I have a pair of legs to get me places.

Then you are officially old (as am I) but the kids are all about the bright neon now (again). Look at the colors of sneakers these days and you'll see that bright colors have returned.

Calculator watches only looked cool to geeks. To the rest of the world you looked like a dork... Yeah... I wore one.
It's funny how all the people knocking Pebble (and/or smartwatches in general) have mostly never actually tried one.
I backed it on Kickstarter as I knew I'd find it useful. And I do. It is one of those devices that I now can't imagine being without. The last device to do that for me was my first iPhone.
My phone is generally in my pocket, on silent. Even if it's not on silent and I'm out somewhere I often won't hear it. Now I never miss a call or a text. Ever. I'm at the supermarket and my wrist buzzes and my wife is asking me to pick up Oranges. Before I would go home with no Oranges and to an angry wife. Now I have Oranges and a happy wife.
Controlling music in the car is a doddle. Get in car, 3 quick presses on the middle button - without looking - and music plays. Skipping a track is done without taking my eyes of the road at all. Even at home when I'm streaming music from my phone I can now skip, pause, adjust volume etc, all without having to actually pick up the phone or pull it out of my pocket.
The apps etc I don't tend to use much - occasionally Run Keeper but that's about it. I'm not even massively bothered about different watchfaces although my son (8) thinks it's cool. In fact he said to me the other day "Dad, when you die can I have your watch?". I'm only 36 so I'm hoping to outlast the watch!
I'm interested in the iWatch, but it's gotta be as simple to use and the battery has to last a week, or at least 3-4 days.

Agreed. I love mine, I just hate wearing watches... I wish I could implant one on my skin.
My only gripe with it is the lack of processing power. It runs relatively slow for what it does (in comparison to the speed of average gadgets these days) and it crashes out at least twice a week. But after a reboot it's fine again. If they sped up the watch, added a tiny bit more RAM and used a higher DPI screen it would be a perfect device.
Addendum; it would be nice if alarms could be set for M-F; Sat-Sun; M-Sun though as opposed to just every day.
I think there's a typo at the top of the screen. Should say: "PebbleSmartWatchRumors: news and rumors you don't care about."
There, I fixed it.
If you don't care about this topic, you don't have to read the article and post a response.
MAJOR ALERT!!!!!! All companies with Iwatches ,Get all your Iwatches out on the market now, before Apple takes over .... Again!!!

Let them feel their playing a big part in society!

Yeah get out now when Apple isn't even in the market and lose out on all the money that is out there for this market. Makes a lot of sense.
Perhaps not much of one?Where's your sense of of humor??? It was a JOKE
