Hands on with the Pebble watch: a handy device with a lot of potential

~Article Review~



       Today, I going to explain of smart watch. Have you heard smart watch? Basically, It connected to your iOS and android devices. Not only that, It has more cool staff! Can you guess what are they? According to the article, It separated as two part which are first impression and cool ticks. you might guess what are they now. I think this article has included bit of the writers opinion which is positive.

      First impression. It's really important part when we see something. and from this article, It shows that how it looks cool and how does it smart. This watch can load onto the watch with the companion app which is free on iOS and Android devices. and It's shows the number as watch faces. For example, When the time is as 5:13:23pm, Then it seeing as 'quarter after five'. That is awesome. right? 




      When you first glance at the Pebble, you see the time as presented by your currently selected watch face. You can navigate away from the watch face using the four physical buttons on the watch: back, up, select, and down. With these, you are able to navigate across the watch's operating system. This watch is large part to combination of e-paper display and the use of low energy of Bluetooth. It also runs on ARM Cortex-M3 micro-controller. It might drain your phone battery bit.

       This smart watch also have waterproof! According to article, It is possible to use under the water as 50 m or 164 ft. Therefore, you can use it while your shower or swimming. Pebble uses a propriatary magnetic charging port which is plug for USB port. Simply, let's think about why we like it. first,  As you see, this watch has cool design. If you still doesn't like it, You might able to make as your own classic watches. second also i already explained. you can connect with your app in your phone. you can receive notifications from the service in Pebble from web app, and approach will allow native apps to use the Pebble as a secondary output in real time.  You can pre-order your own pebble at getpebble.com for $150. The watch comes with Jet Black, Arctic White, Cherry Red, Grey and Orange.

      I think, this is really cool watch. And while I read this article, I feel that nowadays technology is much developed than before again. Have you think about watch connect with your apps? For me, no. That's the reason why I more amaze with this stuff. Actually I am not a person really know about the watch. What design is cool, or what bland is nice to use, How much are they..etc. But I know this is cool. I like the way that they show the time. I am not sure that is it expensive or not cause of there are much developed system than other watch and nice design. even the waterproof. In my opinion, it would be good to have it. :)
