Hehe even with my phone in my pocket, I kept missing calls with any sort of background noise around ;o)
I was one of those who helped Pebble raise over $10 million on Kickstarter so that solved that problem I must admit, I never get around to checking what apps are available for the watch but it was worth it just for the phone call vibration and the choice of nice watchfaces (and I needed a new watch then anyway). Also, it¹s pretty cool reading SMSs on your watch ;o) So, unless my Pebble dies, I¹ll probably wait until the iWatch gets to Mk2 or Mk3 before considering changing. Given how long the commentators were predicting the watch was coming, and the anticipation generated, I expect Apple will sell quite a few ;o) Cheers Neil -- Neil R.
