Pebble, First Smartphone Watch
[framed_box bgColor=”#6A00A6″ textColor=”#FFFFFF”]CUSTOMIZE WITH APPS[/framed_box] Apps bring Pebble to life. We’re building some amazing apps for Pebble. Cyclists can use Pebble as a bike computer, accessing the GPS on your smartphone to display speed, distance and pace data. Runners get a similar set of data displayed on their wrist. Use the music control app to play, pause or skip tracks on your phone with the touch of a button. If you’re a golfer, feel free to bring Pebble onto the course. Pebble are working with Freecaddie to create a great golf rangefinder app for Pebble that works on over 25,000 courses world-wide. Instead of using your phone, view your current distance to the green right on your wrist. These apps will be the first, with more in the works!
[framed_box bgColor=”#6A00A6″ textColor=”#FFFFFF”]CUSTOMIZE WITH WATCHFACES[/framed_box] Pebble can change instantly, thanks to its brilliant, outdoor-readable electronic-paper (e-paper) display.
