Ars Technica takes a close look at the crowd-funded Pebble smartwatch.
The reviewer had to put up with repeated delays in production as a
Kickstarter backer, but seems happy with the watch and optimistic about
the future of third-party apps; an SDK is due later this month. "It
currently ships with three default watch faces, as well as 12 others
that you can load onto the watch with the companion app (free on iOS and
Android). By far my favorite custom watch face is 'Fuzzy Time,' which
rounds the current time to the nearest 5-minute interval and translates
that number to what you might say if your friend asked you the time.
While seemingly trivial, I love this rough approximation of time. Rarely
do I need to know that it's 5:13:23pm, but seeing that it's 'quarter
after five' is awesome."
