Agreed. I was regretting the purchase prior to iOS 7 but now it's quite handy to have.
I would recommend it, on the proviso you don't have a watch and want some kind of accessory. I'm not sure if it's "worth it" if you have a nice watch already though.
Oh yeah the batteries are rated to 300 cycles. You need to charge every 4-7 days, so at worst it will last you ~3 years. After that it's dead as it's not user replaceable.
Just bought it as a gift - looks awesome!
im confuse. can we actually receive phone call with pebble? i mean does it has microphone and speaker?
"Though you get call notifications, which you can dismiss straight from Pebble (and a third-party app even lets you answer it from Pebble), you can't actually use the Pebble as a phone."
what the article means by "let you answer it from pebble but cant use as a phone"
thats a no imo
ah i got it. lets us answer means just accept but you need to have handsfree earphone for example to talk and to listen
Correct
The Kreyos Meteor allows you to answer calls if you are looking for that functionability:
Also isn't it 130USD? ~$142 AUD
Will be waiting a while for a kreyos. They still have issues with it, and wont be shipping watches until Jan/Feb. And that's prepurchased/backers watches. So you could be waiting until at least March?
No it's in production for a while now
Where do you see that? It says on their website it is for preorder. Also, on indiegogo they said on 21/11:"Nov 21 Update B:
The good news is that – after testing the smartwatches that were made during our initial production run and fixing the issues we found with the muffled speaker – we feel really confident that the product we will be sending to you in January/February will be a good one. And we’re gearing up for a second pilot test run.
A number of people did let us know that they would have been okay receiving a smartwatch with a muffled speaker. But honestly, we didn’t feel it was right to ship our backers a faulty product. When we started Kreyos, we decided that one of our core values would be to build a great product. Shipping you a smartwatch with known issues goes against our values. So please accept our apologies again for the delay.
I have a Pebble,
Since iOS7 works MUCH better! Have not tried it with a Android device yet.
