I can't keep up. There are two new pebble smart watches up here on the kickstarter1. If only this one would go wrong, then I could justify getting a new one! But my original pebble steel is still great. Just had a software update so it has lots of new features. I have not done as much development on it as I thought I would (that was my original justification for getting one). It does have a heart rate monitor built in this time, but I don't need one. If Maybe I'll wait until next time, or until I decide I really need more fitness tracking.
They're also releasing a weird nan-button thing, it's a mini phone, no screen, one button, like a panic button. The idea is you take it with you when you don't want your phone, when you're running say. It can stream music and make emergency calls for you. I suppose it's smart that they've not just built all this into the watch and made a big clunky watch. This is how bluetooth is supposed to work, tiny devices in different pockets that can talk to each other.
A total abuse of kickstarter again of course, they're not crowdfunding to make this, they're already made...
