Pebble Watch

[phil_hg_uk]

I'm saving my money for the Moto 360.

I like the look of that as well subject to price of course.

I am very impressed with Motorola at the moment I got a Moto G a few weeks ago and it is the best smart phone I have ever had and the only one with a decent size screen I have ever had nearly 3 days battery life out of

I just hope the sale to Lenovo doesnt bugger up all their good work.

I've gone a bit further now and have built this little website - https://sites.google.com/site/pebblewatchuk/

I've been considering one of these for a while now and have just about convinced myself to buy one when my bonus comes in later this month. I'd really prefer to see one in the flesh first, but there are no High St stockists.

I like the idea of the text watch face (Nine Twenty instead of 9.20) as this looks distinctive and easy to read. Apps wise, I'll probably use hangouts mostly I reckon.

I'm swithering between the standard Pebble and the Pebble Steel. The Pebble looks a bit plasticky and cheap but I'm not sure if the Steel is worth double the price.

One question - how readable is the face in low light? Is there a backlight?

But isn't as capable and doesn't look as cool as a smartwatch.

The backlight comes on when you shake your fist, so if you make the physical movement that insinuates that motorists indulge in self-pleasure while piloting their automobiles the backlight comes on all the time.

I know some people who would have to have it plugged in all the time to avoid the battery going flat

I love the idea of my smart phone vibrating in my back pocket and giving me a warm fuzzy feeling. I naturally do not answer it, cos I is on the bike, and I know as well that if it is important they will keep on ringing me and giving me a nice warm fuzzy feeling. Nothing is going to interrupt my bike rides. Life is important, not work.

FWIW I've just pinged NotThatJasonKenny via FB. He's had his a good while now so I've told him this thread has been woken up and invited him back to see if he wants to pass on any of his Pebble related musings.

Cheers, I'll be writing a 'first 48 hours' type site update soon.

NTJK has come back to me via FB. Sadly he doesnt have his anymore. He had to have it replaced twice under warrranty, so decided to sell the last replacement as soon as it arrived
