Version 2: NFC in the watch linked to the phone for upstream authentication.
Then make NFC payments without ever touching your phone.

Please let it handle more then one notification at a time! No point of using the watch for notification if you can only read one and then have to pickup your phone to read the rest.

Whatever battery life is used with bluetooth, is probably saved with not having to take out your phone.

I just saw that the Motoactiv could basically become a smart watch and figured it would be about the same (I haven’t personally seen either device) but thanks for enlightening me!

One of the reasons a lave a Metawatch coming. you can Answer, ignore, ad hang up from the watch. You even have an option to answer via your phones speakerphone. Though I’m still keeping an eye out on the pebble.

Yes and expensive. I personally wouldn’t want to have my conversations over speaker phone with people around and am sure the speaker and mic would make it non-water proof. Not a tradeoff I’m willing to make. Of course other would love it, but many like me would admire it but not get one.

That was true when the Sony Smartwatch first came about about a year ago. It no longer need a smartphone connection to keep the time. It’s has had several updates since and is a better device today. I have a Metawatch (Frame model) on the way and am considering a Sony Smartwatch as a less expensive option for my work phone. It this point they both offer more functionality than the Pebble (this may change, but not yet).

That’s a lot of expectations for something that just barely came out…

I’m a tech geek so I’m thinking these “Smart Watches” are going to be the next BIG thing! maybe not so much the Pebble but go take a look at a REAL smartwatch like the I’m Watch Smartwatch. This thing has a ful color touch screen that allows you to actually type e-mails and text messages AND you can even answer your phone through your wrist with it’s built-in bluetooth. This thing is pretty awesome…. http://www.imsmart.com/en

I am with Sprint, so I just associated my number with Google voice. Anyone though can use the Google Voice app as your sms client. In the app go to settings / Sync and Notification / Recieve text messages

because taking out your phone is too much to ask

I know you mentioned it wasn’t a BIG watch. I can’t find the dimensions anywhere on pebble’s site (which is a strange oversight considering a watch is like shoes, one size doesn’t fit all). Would you, or someone else that has one, mind giving the measurements . I would really appreciate it.
