Nope. Stopwatch with lap time, and the alarm must play "The Yellow Rose of Texas". Nope. Yesterday. Easier than referring to my mobile, which was turned off even though I had it with me.  _________________My Flickr | Snaptophobic BloggageHeather Kay: modelling details that matter.

 We'll expect a review once you've had a chance to play with it I've read a few reviews and general bloggings recently, such as: http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/the-be ... of-crummy/ | | | | Quote: there aren’t any apps yet, and we don’t know when there will be. The first SDK is due out in April, and is only for adding new watchfaces, not new apps... If your phone and the watch break their link and then re-connect, you have to manually go back and toggle on and off all the notifications that you want to appear — and they all have to show on your iPhone’s lockscreen. It also breaks Siri integration: the iOS digital assistant thinks the Pebble is a Bluetooth speaker, and attempts to speak through it. Unfortunately, it isn’t, so you don’t hear what your iPhone has to say.. there still aren’t the promised apps for cycling or golfing, which users have been waiting on for an age. It also only shows a single notification at a time, with no way to browse backwards to look at older ones, and while you can dismiss calls from the watch, doing so doesn’t even send them to voicemail...
even with all of those issues, the Pebble still the best option around | | | | |
I should probably know what kind of phone you have given the time we spend on here - presumably not an iPhone? Looking at the other watches, I notice that the Casio has a respectable battery life of 2 years proving that it is possible. The Pebble is "up to" one week, presumably improving when they sort out the BT update. Hopefully many of the other issues can be fixed by updates both to the watch firmware and to the apps. _________________jonbwfc's law: "In any forum thread someone will, no matter what the subject, mention Firefly."

If such a device is launched I will wait and think it over. It might not even happen, and I never rush into things even if they are Apple.

Sure. Give it 'til the weekend so I've got some idea of the impact it causes to the phone battery life.

As long as that? 8 hours should be enough.  Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk. _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted. Mine is bordering on seven seconds." https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTg5MzczNTkhttp://astore.amazon.co.uk/wwwx404couk-21
