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.
It's also very coworker friendly since I can have my phone on mute all the time.
Overall it's a nice toy, not a life changer.
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…
Did you order a black Pebble or another colour? The black Pebbles have been shipping in large quantities for ages (I got mine some time ago) but the colour ones are taking a little more time to get right. Assuming you opted for a colour other than black, you should still get it before the general public does.
Not to mention the original timeline called for the watches to start shipping in Sep 2012.
I can appreciate that the folks at Pebble are doing their damndest, but there's no other way to cut it: this product has been extremely late across nearly all of its milestones.
To be fair, they're one of the few hardware Kickstarters to actually even ship something that closely resembles the original pitch. Their feedback to backers through the delays has also been noteworthy - though it's been disappointing that once Pebble hit the big-times the backers that are still hanging on have been left mostly out of the loop.
A year ago people were foaming at the mouth at the prospect of a watch that was a vibrating e-ink backlit display with buttons and customizable watch face options and a battery that could go a week between charges. 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…

In middle school I was forcibly imprisoned in my locker for wearing a calculator watch, and honestly, it was a good learning experience. That thing is really ugly.
Progress doesn't necessarily start at the top.

You aren't missing anything. I got mine months ago. It is the most disappointing thing I have supported on kickstarter. I would literally send you mine but one of the buttons fell off the first (and only) day I wore it.
I'd even pay S&H...

"A little more time" is a bit of an understatement. The Pebbles started shipping Jan 31 this year. It's been a full six months and the final colors haven't shown up yet.

I get 60 minute and 10 minute reminders for upcoming meetings by way of SMS, which then shows up on my Pebble.
I've been using the 60/10 minute reminders through Google Calendar for over a year now, but the Pebble has really made that feature a killer feature for me. Previously, I'd run the risk of my phone being on silent and missing the reminder. Now I get discrete reminders on my wrist.
