The delay from December to April is pretty sizable, and it makes me take all of their current estimates with a huge grain of salt. After all, they might decide to launch a necklace between now and then!
Can this do NFC/tap to pay? That's all I use my smartwatch for....
I wish someone would take all the Fitness sensors of the Apple Watch, and put it in something with a simple e-ink display like these Pebble devices. I don’t care about apps, I just want a thing that measures my heart rate, notifies me if I get a call or text, has more than a couple days of battery life, and that’s it.

I guess the one other feature I like of the Apple Watch is the rings/daily fitness goals functionality. I'll have to look into the Pebble more to see if that's possible.

Basically! Is heart rate recorded to a Pebble specific app, or can it be synced with things like Apple Health?

Do the pebbles have the same functionality as the Index ring? As in we can record notes with it?
