Pebble

My Pebble smartwatch (which connects to your phone via Bluetooth and shows e-mails, calls, SMSes, etc. on the screen) finally arrived today, after almost ten long months of waiting following their Kickstarter funding campaign. I backed the project on the first day so got one of the earliest watches off the production line.

Since it's called a Pebble, I figured it would be appropriate to photograph it amongst some pebbles.

I was hoping to get some misty water effects around it, but it's simply too light -- if I placed it where enough water would flow over it, it would move about and risked getting carried away into the Pacific!

The stones are beautiful! Lovely shot! I just can't imagine the watch! Sometimes I have to stash my phone away because I get tired of the alerts. I can't imagine hooking it to my body. Wonderful concept for business people, I suppose.

Lovely shot. Read a review, sounds promising but alas it is no fashion statement just yet. I like that the daily life of the smartphone battery would be extended due to less need to check the phone for messages. I'll wait til the face comes in gold lol

The colours of the pebbles are a great backdrop for the watch, having a lot of blue in them.

[KWind]

Wow...I've never heard of such a thing. Very cool! I like how you presented it.

[Cathy]

Love the colors of the pebbles... and happy you are so excited about your purchase! Far too tech savvy for me!

[Ara]

Cool watch. I like all the patterns on the pebbles.

[Glenda B]

I just checked this out on getpebble.com --very cool!
Perfect composition for the watch too--they should use your photo on their website!!

After you've used it for several weeks you should post your thoughts, comments and how you feel about the overall usefulness of this product.

[Jane Pittenger]

[Michelle]

Oh wow, sounds increibly interesting.

[Teresa (pocketmouse)]

Looks like a nifty little device :)

[Brian]

I almost did that one. Like it. It does look like a cool watch OR your shot made it look that way :)

[Sassik]

Do they really make gadgets like this? Well presented!

[Sheila]

Didn't know they made a digital watch with that kind of a read out. Like your use of pebbles here too.

[Humphrey Hippo]

Love the colourful pebbles. Think I'll wait for the Apple version. ;)

[John Colosimo]

your watch and your camera clock are off by one minute ;)

it could've read "three sixty five" that would be really cool!
