Oodles of Color
Hi everybody!
Quick update before the Canada Day long-weekend.
Color Selection
We've started accepting color suggestions. So if you've got any ideas for cool Pebble colors, here's how you can get your voice heard! The best way to send us your color is with the hex color value. Don't forget to create a memorable name, then send your suggestion to us via
- Kickstarter comment page
- Tweet @pebble with hashtag #colormypebble
- Post on our timeline at Facebook.com/getpebble
After you post your suggestion, we'll create a render of Pebble using your suggestion and post it on our Pinterest page. If you like someone else's color combination, be sure to repin, tweet, like or generally talk about it!
Next week, we'll be sending out an email to all backers of a color pebble with a link to the color voting survey, taking into consideration all the suggestions that we've received.
PCB Layout Complete

A major milestone is complete...we've created the final design for our printed circuit board (PCB). This is the main electronics board that contains all the integrated circuits and passive components that make up Pebble. It's double sided...so that 3D render above is just one side! The wires coming out the bottom are from the vibrating motor.

This is close to the actual size of the board. It's roughly the size of the 'tab' key on a MacBook keyboard.
Android Developer APIs

Pebble was at Google IO this week. We used the opportunity to start the conversation with developers around our Android APIs. If you're interested, you can learn more at developer.getpebble.com. This is just the beginning of our developer outreach, we'll be releasing other sections of our SDK over the coming months.

Creator BKBM3 on July 28, 2012
My Fam and I just moved. How do we update our mailing address for our Pebble watches? Thanks., BK
Creator Caffeine Junkie on July 11, 2012
@Rick others have also asked for this kind of thing on the offical forums. I'll be looking at what information can be obtained from the accelerometer and how this can be interpreted for things such as swim strokes/laps once I get my hands on the SDK.
Creator Rick Tan on July 10, 2012
Can some developer please develop a software in the watch that can track number of swim strokes per lap? The distance of the lap can be entered by the user. This info can then be sync with the phone later. With the distance, time, number of stroke, this will help swimmers improve.
I will pay to get it install on my Pebble.
Thanks
Creator Robert Muyskens on July 6, 2012
Like the Altium PCB rendering. Keep up the good work.

so excited.
Creator Stephen Holinaty on July 4, 2012
cant wait until I get to play with this. any word as to a potential ship date?
Creator Max Sablosky on July 4, 2012
Hey could we buy two different bands like one white one black?
Creator Bernie on July 3, 2012
I like the pink from "So Fetch" but with a white bandand purple from "Wombat Puke" (hate the name). Is it possible to have the band be a lighter shade of the face?? That would be cool.
Creator Miguel A. Reyes on July 3, 2012
any news on the shipping date?
Creator Elon Svärdhagen on July 3, 2012
@Pzboyz: No, as far as I've understood it, there's no voting going on yet. They're using pinterest so showcase the colours, so we can view them before we can vote.
Creator Ofir Cohen on July 3, 2012
Hi! I'm with Josh, Kevin and Beth,YY, any way to upgrade to the color from black?
Creator pzboyz on July 3, 2012
So now I have to create a pinterest account to register my vote?
Creator Max Sablosky on July 3, 2012
Agreed gun metal brushed aluminum look
Creator Barry Dyer on July 2, 2012
Another vote for an anodised aluminium or equivalent gunmetal grey appearance with colour-matched strap. #708090 in a matte finish for preference. Really looking forward to seeing if the suggestions for more than one voters choice materialise given so many backers.
Creator Wilson Tham on July 1, 2012
I had used my office address as the shipment address and now has left for a new job. Is it possible to change the shipment address now before it is shipped?
Creator David Colera on July 1, 2012
Anodized aluminum or titanium would be nice options.
Creator Nick on July 1, 2012
To riff off Rick van de Laar's idea, I think that an anodised aluminium, or otherwise, chrome/metal based fascia would be classy as hell. Such as is found on traditional wristwatches. If not for this then perhaps Pebble 2!
Creator Rick van de Laar on July 1, 2012
matte black aluminium would be awesome. i'd instantly upgrade my pledge.
Creator Valentino Perez on June 30, 2012
Why can't we do all Purple? Purple Strap and Purple faceplate?
Creator Rahimi Rusli on June 30, 2012
http://prettycolors.tumblr.com/ check out colors here!
Creator Matt Combes on June 30, 2012
I'm really hoping for a silver/steel color ... also wondering whether or not we might get the option to choose between the watch face and the band, e.g. order the black face with a white band or vice versa.
Creator Jacob on June 30, 2012
I like calvinbean's idea of purple with a black wrist strap.
Creator Roman Po on June 30, 2012
Excited to get my Pebble! but in the meantime...any pebble-related photos would do :D
Creator calvinbean on June 30, 2012
Purple is the new black, so I propose "New Black Purple": #800080
Creator David Jackson on June 30, 2012
I must say, I have to agree with Garry Queen's comment on his colour preferences, there's nothing worse than having to keep on wiping fingerprints off of a hard shiny black surface !
So looking forward to receiving my Pebble.
Creator Wim Nagtegaal on June 30, 2012
Interesting update! Thanks. Is it possible to add a few lines about the PCB telling which components are show in the 3D rendering? Done some hardware and software design myself, so I'm very interested in the hardware you are using (a few items have already been discussed). Keep up the great work!!!!!
Creator Garry Queen on June 30, 2012
I think a pure black model is the best for me but i'd like to see it in a matte (possibly soft feel) finish rather than the glossy, fingerprint and scratch prone finish it is currently
Creator Magnus Hølvold on June 30, 2012
Mattheus, I do think they know about a few of these already, considering that the Pebble isn't the first product or even the first smartphone-connected watch they've made. :)
Super-excited for this thing, as it's the first time in a long time where someone has basically come out with exactly the product I have been looking for. Usually, exciting tech here is stuff I didn't know I wanted or stuff that approximates what I wish I had. Pebble was a 100% smash hit. Now, if only I can make sure the special colour turns out to be either orange or coffee-coloured. :D
Creator mattheus rudi on June 30, 2012
dear Eric and the other pebble team, I feel happy that i don't have to deal with the business problems you will have to solve in the upcoming months: production problems and delays, logistic problems, administrative problems, and so on. You will experience that every success has always also another side that is not seen by the people. However, I wish you and your young team a lot of succes and mental strength in the upcoming months. You will experience that you have never learned so much in such a short period :-)
Creator john on June 30, 2012
With the new colours being discussed will it be possible to "switch" colour from the original one chosen in kickstarter?
Creator Aland on June 30, 2012
Me gusta mucho el gun metal
Creator Caffeine Junkie on June 30, 2012
They had a prototype, but that had the pcb external to the watch (look closely in videos and you can see it). They knew what the components where and how they fitted together, but this is the final miniaturised circuit.
Creator Kevin Mellott on June 30, 2012
Thought the design was complete and all they needed from Kickstarter was money to go to manufacturing.
Creator Juan Carlos Santana on June 30, 2012
Aluminum grey, red brick, dark grey 535359
Creator Juan Carlos Santana on June 30, 2012
Transparent with a color changing LED

"GreenYellow AD FF 2F"
Toxic sludge
Creator Luke Garratt on June 30, 2012
my suggestion is a bright "Citrus Explosion" orange! Hex code FF7B08
Creator Domenick Giambattista on June 29, 2012
That PCB looks great! I'm actually the guy who designed the optimized via hole that allows the elements on both sides of a PCB to be joined with a near-0 impedance loss while I was developing the high-gain antenna array used for mobile broadband Internet, which is what makes time travel possib... Whoops, wrong invention. The device that makes cell phone Internet possible :-) Anyway, enough bragging, you guys have taken that invention in a wonderful direction I would have never thought of when I was designing it, and it's mighty impressive. You've done me proud, boys, you've done me proud!
Creator YY on June 29, 2012
Hi! I'm with Josh, Kevin and Beth, any way to upgrade to the color ?
Creator Beth Lamenskie on June 29, 2012
I'm with Josh and Kevin, any way to upgrade to the color??? haha
Creator Kevin Matthews on June 29, 2012
I'm with Josh, is there still any chance to upgrade to the color from black if I like it?
Creator Josh Yochem on June 29, 2012
if we like the voter's choice color...is there any way to upgrade to the color?
Creator Joey Chang on June 29, 2012
steel color
Creator Martin McInulty on June 29, 2012
@ lars
Next week, we'll be sending out an email to all backers of a color pebble with a link to the color voting survey, taking into consideration all the suggestions that we've received.

Creator Judd Gledhill on June 29, 2012
Question on the SDK... Is it intended to reflect Android, or will it be a little more iPhone-y when you are done? For instance, aren't "intents" and Android thing? Shouldn't the interface be sorta cross platform?
Creator Lars Harrison on June 29, 2012
For those of us without pintrest/twitter (or who don't engage in social networks otherwise) this seems like an undue way of casting votes. It's fine to drum up interest, but I hope there will be a more formal method to selecting finalists?
Also, while the original opening was for only four colorways, with $10m I'm hoping you guys could see fit to option a couple more? That would be pretty rad. :)
