I went to best buy and got one.. it's pretty sweet. I wish I had android because they have more apps available but so far so good with my iOS..

[kmarei]

Got one for my bday in October
Love it

[Mr Tonka]

I keep trying to find ways to be less accessible to everyone. lol

[batchelorc]

Why would anyone want that?

[Inspired]

That looks sick. Does the name display on text messages or just their number?

Reminds me of this

[kevinbahnz]

I bought a Kronoz watch from amazonfrance. Piece of crap.

[BMW F22]

Looks cool. I'm thinking about picking one up. Just not sure if I really need it.

[turbolag]

Eh, no.

At work, I have my phone with me all the time. Calls, emails, texts, etc. are there. So, no real need for this at work.

When I'm relaxing, I also have my phone with me all the time, but unless it's an emergency, I don't give a shit if someone texts me. Most of the important stuff coming to me when I'm not at work is via email or calls, so I don't need this.

And this looks...ugly?

I've had this for about a week now. so far so good. only thing is though, I have iOS and it's lacking applications for apple users.. for android, it's a different story. you can download many watchfaces.. you get sick of one face, you simply log on to pebble application and download watchface.... of course you get notifications for everything that your phone is receiving as far as 3rd apps too..

What is it and what does it do?

[grimlock]

That's so freaking dorky..
Hey! I had that Casio!!! exact one.. so awesome

[MrRoboto]

Smart-watches have a way to go. The pebble concept is cool but limited functionality, cheaply made, and ugly. I think the Google Glass format has a better future for an alternative user interface.

[Axelfuzz]

I backed the kickstarter. I really enjoy the basic functions. I wish it had more IOS apps. It's not the prettiest device, but people are generally impressed with the gadget factor.

Gen 1 smart watch
If you get a text, it shows it on t he display
If you get a call, likewise
You're working out in the gym, phone is in your pocket
You see the current song playing , and you can forward, rewind, and pause the song
On the latest update, you get all notifications on the screen
Facebook, twitter etc.
and you can turn them all on and off

Best thing about is is it vibrates when you get a call
I s usually don't hear my phone when I'm at work cuz I have the ringer low
But I feel my hand vibrate
And it's waterproof, so I don't have to take it off when I shower
Battery lasts 5 days

All that for $150
Not bad

I saw Samsung was going to make one that has a color screen

They did, called the "Gear" or something similar.

And it's got a 30% return rate at best buy
So I'd guess its not really good
What I like about the pebble is it works with ios and android

[Inspired]

So I did a lot of research on the android forums.

This is better than gear and pebble because it can handle any notifications you throw at it. Android compatible only. You can flash custom rom onto it and root it. It runs on Android 4.3

Gear still has a better build quality but cant really complain for the price..

[MisterSkiMask]

so, it tells you to look at the phone that is in your pocket?

and I'm supposed to want it?

Never said it was great, just that there was something.

I agree with you that if you want this kind of thing, Pebble is currently the way to go, though I, personally, don't see the point of it. I get where some people might get a lot of use out of this though. Granted, I have my phone on my desk next to my keyboard when I'm not in meetings, so it's very easy for me to see what is going on with it. Should I be on a meeting, I don't need my phone for anything.
