Cool, how is?
Pretty awesome, but it won't reach its full potential until they release the SDK so us developers can make apps for it. It was incredibly useful when I was building a swing set this afternoon, I was able to just look at my wrist even time I got an email to see if it was important and needed to be dealt with now or later :-)
Greatest thing is being able to keep my phone on silent and my wrist will still vibrate when I get a notification.
I loved the concept, but I always wait til version 2.0.
This kinda is v2. The same people already did a smart watch a couple of years back that wasn't too great.
How much was it to back?
It can be pre-ordered http://getpebble.com/ for $150
$99 for a black watch 12 months ago :-D
I preordered a while ago. They sent an email saying they are shipping shortly. I am pretty excited. Just nervous that the watch will be too big for my wrist.
Yea they hope to get all the kickstarter orders out by May and then start on the pre orders.
The first 85k manufactured will be for kickstarter orders, see
