Pebble, the Ultimate Smart Watch

Have you ever dreamed or imagined of a smart watch that is able to connect to your smart phone, and you're able to connect it with a watch on your hand. The function of the pebble is not only telling time but also able to make many different stuff. The price of this watch is around 100-150 dollars which I think is a reasonable price because there are many different smart watches that are more expensive. What this watch is able to do is that its able to approximate the time like, we always do because we never say the exact time of minutes we only round it up to multiples of 5 which I think is really cool and it's awesome in a form that fits our personality and life style. Not only time this watch is able to play music, having its apps inter phase, its able to pause, play, skip, forward, and backward. The watch has 4 main buttons which is up, down, back, and select. This watch is also water proof up to 50 m which is really good news for people who never take off their watches. It's also able to show notifications of your phone, such as emails, messages, etc. This helps a lot because you don't need to take out your phone out of the pocket, you just need to glance at the watch and you'll be informed, I think that this will reduce the amount of times you drop your phone while trying to pull it out of your phone. Overall I think that this watch is pretty useful and I could help many business people who are using their phones a lot, in which I think that it saves time because there are some very annoying notifications that you don't want to waste time checking, but having this watch you can just ignore the annoying notifications. I also think that the approximate time display would also be really awesome, and the water proof in which I never take of my watch when I shower and it will save a lot of time.

Potential Strengths/Advantages

The strengths of this article is that the author itself is an owner of this watch, and he has his first impressions of this watch included which gives us a buyer point of view. The author also has his very own pictures which means that this article is no way to be fake, and it he has a picture describing the approximate time display which is really cool. Overall he did a very good job describing this product.

Potential Problems/Limitations/Disadvantages

One disadvantage that the author has is that he didn't compare this watch to the different other smart watches that are out there because there is not only one smart watch, in which there are many disadvantages and advantages of the smart watches. The biggest and the hottest news people are waiting is the iwatch and he didn't even mention it.

Discussion Questions

I'm really interested in these types of watches because they are easy and very good to use, I think that the pebble is a normal and easy type of smart watch that is able to very less stuff, releasing the smart watches now is not a really good idea because most people are waiting for the iwatch according Mr. Pete, in which the discussion question for this week is will you buy this one or wait for the better iwatch.
