Pebble Campaign Success!
Thirty-seven days are up...and we have reached the end of our campaign. We set out with a goal of raising $100,000 and thanks to you, we’ve raised over $10,000,000! We are extremely happy that you’ve given us the opportunity to make Pebble a reality. Our current goal is clear: over the next few months we’ll be working 24-7 to make Pebble as awesome as possible, and get it onto your wrist as quickly as possible.
Over the next few weeks, expect to see a variety to updates related to the voter’s choice colour survey, team introductions, and manufacturing updates. We will also be in correspondence with you via email for specifics like colour choices and shipping information.
Thank You Backers (or Pebblers, whichever you prefer)! All 68,928 of you. For those that didn't get to participate in our campaign, you can sign up for future releases at www.getpebble.com.
You can also get even more involved through our forums, facebook, or twitter pages.

I'm also worried about scratches. Maybe we could get some feedback on that topic in the next update.
I hope the scratches we see in the video are due to the limited number of prototypes. So these watches have to endure much more than under normal circumstances.
In my opinion a matte finish would also look much more high class but I'm afraid at this point the glossy parts are already being manufactured.
Creator Frank Claycomb on August 7, 2012
Really hope that the black can be made matte. It is going to show every scratch horribly...

Today is update day, if I'm not mistaken!
Creator Malone Guthrie on June 24, 2012
Could we have an update once a month please?
Creator Trevor Scofield on June 8, 2012
UPDATE PLEASE!!! WHEN ARE WE GOING TO VOTE ON THE COLOR CHOICE??? WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO GATHER SHIPPING INFO?
Creator Gerard 't Hart on June 8, 2012
Hi, I am very excited about the pebble: two things: an update please! and secondly, I am anEuropean and I just wondered if I can correct the international payment thing, as I didn't include it ( genuine mistake)!
Creator Max Richt on June 8, 2012
More Updates please!
Creator Beyond Chiu on June 6, 2012
Good morning everyone,
Just checking on the status as of today. Ever since my last email from Amazon regarding charging my credit card I have not seen any other updates from you. Am I missing something?
Thanks all!!
Creator Joe Oh on June 5, 2012
Good afternoon Pebble Team,
I was just curious if the emails had already gone out for shipping information.
Thanks guys!
Creator Miguel Isamat on June 5, 2012
Hey Eric + The Pebble team,
Just wanted to let you know Pebble Kickstarter updates make my day and get me more excited about finally getting the watch. Please keep them coming. I'm particulally looking forward to the release of the SDK :)
Thanks guys,
Miguel
Creator Rudolf Momjian Pettersen on June 1, 2012
Tom's right. Sarah is cute, and rich too!
Creator Tom Halbert on June 1, 2012
Sarah is cute. ;)
Creator Rand Chua TL on May 31, 2012
Hmmm When the Voter's choice for the watch?
Creator Michael Spencer on May 25, 2012
Soooo I woke up one morning saw this on my Facebook page went to kick starter and picked out a package. Cool idea! Simple. I like watches. Entered in the wrong email address so I never heard about any of this. Noticed my bank account had a withdrawal and I couldn't have been happier to see that this is a GO! Great idea way to make it happen! I want my watch! Rock on!

all of you need to read this.
i think this is relevant for any smart watch from now on but this says it best so wont repeat it so enjoy this. http://www.metawatch.org/blog/2011/09/history-repeats-itself.html it is definitely a valid comparison.

I want to vote White~~
Creator Ryan Tivis on May 23, 2012
@Jerry Knight the Zagg HD shields are better and don't have the bumpy texture and are VERY clear
Creator Jerry Knight on May 23, 2012
@Adrian Olives - ZAGG shields have a bumpy texture that's annoying for screens (fine for non-screen surfaces though). I'll be looking for an XO Skin screen protector because they really are invisible.
Creator See Wen Loong on May 22, 2012
I want to vote Yellow !
Creator Andrey on May 22, 2012
@poserman: they will contact you via KickStarter -- RTFM ;)
@DDW: "Over the next few weeks, expect to see a variety to updates related to the voter’s choice colour survey..."
Creator Poserman on May 22, 2012
How do I know where it's being sent to? How do they receive the address information? I must have filled it in last month but I'm not sure
Creator David Daniel Wouters on May 22, 2012
when will we get the backers color choice ballot?
Creator Michael Ferguson on May 22, 2012
Trying to check I have covered the international shipping but cant find the manage your pledge button now it is closed?
Creator Henry Win on May 21, 2012
Ok.. Understand and not too worry about shipping when you guys tackle about it. Wait for your info.
Creator Junior Eluhu on May 21, 2012
CAn't wait to start playing with that baby...
Creator Adrian Olives on May 21, 2012
Completely Unrelated:
Has anyone asked about a ZAGG shield yet?
Creator Samuel Judd on May 21, 2012
From their Twitter feed: "International Pebble Backers: If you forgot to adjust for shipping, don't worry! We'll fix it with you when it's time to ship."
Creator Frank Bind on May 21, 2012
I have the same problem here, I didn't see the Update 12 right in time to change my pledge. It would not be fair if people which missed the Update which was posted only 3 days before the end, will not receive the watch and loose their money. You have to find a solution how this people can pay their shipping.
Creator Stephen Hanson on May 21, 2012
Tysun i hope u arent serious i did the same thing
Creator Tysun Yihan on May 21, 2012
@Clavell Lee you just donated your pledge without getting a watch!
Creator manolin on May 20, 2012
como pongo los app a mi wascht
Creator Clavell Lee on May 20, 2012
hey guys, errrrrrrrrrrrrr i forgot to increase my pledge before the funding date...i live in sydney so i need to send an extra $15. how can i do this?
Creator Aris Chr on May 20, 2012
Nice job guys
Creator Edward Parkinson on May 20, 2012
Thanks Eric, I feel loved again!
Creator Eric Stewart on May 20, 2012
@Edward read this forum page: http://forums.getpebble.com/topics/460…. You are not alone and the company will take care of you.
Excerpt:
"Hello, I've received hundreds of emails overnight from backers concerned about their pledges because they weren't able to add the shipping fees in time. Do not worry: if your pledge for the Pebble itself has gone through, your reward is secured. We will be contacting you shortly about how to add the shipping fees, so keep your eyes on your emails and our updates.
Kind regards, Sarah"
Creator Edward Parkinson on May 20, 2012
"If you were not an early bird, then you should have paid $125 for a Pebble to Canada, as clearly stated in the pledge description ($115 PLUS $10 shipping to Canada). " How do I know if I am/was an "early bird"? I paid $115 that has already been charged so does that mean I have to pay another $10? How do I do that?
"Do not blame the Pebble team for the layout of the web page," I think it was the Pebble team that told me to click a link that no longer exists and that I spent 10 minutes looking for.
Creator Derek C on May 20, 2012
Edward- The manage my pledge button was there before the project is funded. Now when you log in, click on the "Me" dropdown in the upper right part of the kickstarter page, then click "My Backer History." It will tell you how much you pledged, and your reward.
If you were not an early bird, then you should have paid $125 for a Pebble to Canada, as clearly stated in the pledge description ($115 PLUS $10 shipping to Canada).
Do not blame the Pebble team for the layout of the web page, take it up with Kickstarter if you have complaints. In my opinion, the web page is just fine, as long as you can read past titles into the descriptions.
Creator Edward Parkinson on May 20, 2012
I am frustrated because you are telling me I may not have paid the correct amount, but I cannot check! You say I have a "manage my account" button but I don't see one. And you have so many different types of pledges that I don't know if what I paid is even correct! I paid $115 for a Pebble to Canada. I followed all your instructions at the time and now I cannot figure it out because your system is so fractured.
Creator Mikel on May 20, 2012
Can´t wait to get it! Congrats on this great project! i be proud to be a pebbler soon! ;-)
Creator Jason Griffin on May 19, 2012
"Thank You Backers (or Pebblers, whichever you prefer)! All 68,928 of you." There are 68,929, last person should feel like an idiot for waiting so long... didn't get thanked.
Creator Tim Hulsey on May 19, 2012
I'm glad you added Sarah. It was beginning to look like a ragged lot!
Congratulations on a great project!
Creator Ray Xiaohang Wang on May 19, 2012
can't wait to get the watch! congrats!
Creator John Pizzarelli on May 19, 2012
Congratulations and hope the watch is all it can be. Very excited! Keep the updates coming.
Creator Changhoon Kang on May 19, 2012
Congrats!
I'm counting on you!
Creator Rand Chua TL on May 19, 2012
Hmmm now need to wait for another 4 months to pass faster. :P
Creator Rochelle Alhadeff on May 19, 2012
Hi
I ordered 3 watches and only received confirmation for 2. I followed your instructions. Please correct.
Thanks
