      have they said anything about the battery being user-replaceable?

      So this device really sync's to a phone, then to any attached BT device if you want to daisy chain, or can you daisy chain a device to phone to Pebble?

      Post them here, see if somebody wants to implement them. Or if you don't want to give away your ideas for free and start a business around them: Go out there and find yourself an engineer who's willing to start a company with you.

      @ Glenn: Inductive charging is also a great idea

      Any possibility of adding NFC? This would open up a whole new world of possibilities.

      I vote for laser beams for the next milestone. I showed a bunch a friends of mine (engineer, video editor, and mechanic) and they all got immediately jealous :)

      They did mention one thing that would be the clincher. Inductive charging. I'm just saying, that's all I'm saying...

      Went for 100k, got a million. not bad, guys! Guess y'all should thank engadget and slickdeals.net for some sweet free press!

      I can't wait, I've been looking for a smart watch that lasts longer than a day on a charge FOREVER.

      Where do we vote for backer's choice color?

      I'm sitting here wearing my iWatch (thanks to kickstarter project Lunatik) and for the 1000th time wishing it connected to my phone, had some basic apps I could use, etc.

      The moment I saw this project I backed it. Can't wait!

    22. Fb_profile_picture.small

      Creator Chris Chew on April 12, 2012

      I can't wait for this! Initially, I was deciding to get the Lunatik, but chanced upon Pebble... and let's just say, the rest is history!

      Thank you Eric and the Pebble Dream Team! I've been waiting for this watch for a long time!

      ps: btw, is the rechargeable battery replaceable?

      Creator Daniel Ehrlich on April 12, 2012

      Hi, thanks that is the watch I was waiting for years. Now I use a Sony Erccson MBW150 as it is the best you can get at the moment.
      One Question, are there plans to support HP/Palm webOS? Can I help you to get this supported?

      In for two! Been waiting for what seems like an eternity for something like this. I haven't worn a watch for 10+ years, I will proudly wear this one! (second one if for the wife!) (Shipping to Hong Kong so added the 15 bucks!)

      Really looking toward to this product, like my gadgets and watches, so seems like a match made in heaven.

      Two questions -
      1. How will we be notified of release - by email?
      2. I live in Belguim, so I will have to pay 15$ more, not a problem, how will this be sorted?

      Thanks, and can't wait to try it.
