Honest question: Has anyone actually found a good use for their Pebble? I wore mine once the day after it arrived, felt totally ridiculous, and it hasn't left the drawer since.
Here's the product page: http://www.bestbuy.com/pebble This news makes me very disappointed in the company's handling of their KickStarter campaign. I backed their KickStarter campaign and ordered a white Pebble in May of last year, and I still haven't received it. So if I understand correctly, someone who walks into Best Buy next week will get a Pebble before I do? While I understand the desire to stay out in front…

One of the things I particularly like is that it allows me to have the sound turned off on my phone all the time, and still notice when its going off because my watch vibrates. The Runkeeper integration has been nice as well, previously when running I wore my phone on a truly ridiculous arm band, while now I can throw it in my bag and not have it getting in the way.
I'm not sure I would have paid full price for one, but at the reduced Kickstarter price it was definitely worth it for me.

Scott Hanselman got his already, but maybe that's because he has such an influential blog. He said it sucks, by the way.

That thing is really ugly.

I'm extremely disappointed by how Pebble have handled their entire operation. I originally backed an Artic White Pebble on Kickstarter, they had issues, I switched to Black. And they sent me a watch without a Kickstarter stamp. As an apology I'm supposedly getting a sweat band - what? Their entire operation has been mistake after mistake. And to be honest, that's no excuse for a company who has prior experience.
Now it's getting panned for being nothing but a vibrating e-ink backlit display with buttons and customizable watch face options and a battery that could go a week between charges. Go figure.
I backed them on Kickstarter and got a black watch in the mail a couple months ago. I was surprised that it doesn't show me every notification by default, but somebody made a Pebble Notifier app to fill in the gaps there. Other than that, it fulfilled every expectation I had when I backed it, and I love the convenience of checking my notifications without having to pull my phone out of my pocket. The music controls are a pretty nifty feature I use often, too.
It sucks that they don't have their color options available yet, I don't know what their excuse is for that, but if they've worked all the kinks out in producing the black model then why shouldn't they get that on retail shelves as soon as possible?
I mean, the reason Kickstarter exists is so we regular consumers can recognize a company's potential and help them succeed, and now that this company is on the road to success we're going to get out our torches and pitchforks because they're struggling to ship certain variations of the product? I am flabbergasted at the entitlement some people feel, such that they think this company should run themselves into the ground financially just because they didn't get their special-colored watch yet.
