I had an awesome day yesterday with a friend. We hung out on Pearl Street and it was the first time I'd had positive thoughts about Boulder in a while. The Haagen Dazs helped with that, I'm sure. It'd be way more bearable if more friends like her went to school here, but, alas. She was only up here for a few hours and she could already tell where I was coming from in terms of getting sick of the place. In any case. OftenBen! I believe it was you that was considering getting a Pebble. I've had mine for about 3 days now. First impressions are pretty good. It took a bit of poking around to customize to be just right, but I love doing that shit anyways. I can play my music from my phone/ipod on it, play tetris, get lots of notifications from different things, set alarms, etc. etc. Would I recommend it for $150? Absolutely not. For the $50 that I got it at? Hell yeah. Here's my bomb Persona 4 watchface:
How do you like the control interface? Is it pretty responsive? I'm essentially waiting until I can get a pip-boy, which I'm imagining will be soon. I'll have a wrist mounted smartphone-type-thing, and a google glass like thing with an earpiece. I'm not sure how much further I can augment my reality comfortably past that, but we'll see I'm sure.
Pretty responsive! The buttons require a tiiiny bit of extra pressure to push in, but I like that anyways because I have my watch usually pretty close to where my wrist and my hand meet, and I wouldn't want the buttons to get pushed on accident. What's pretty cool is that I can connect my phone to my external speakers and then remote control my music around the house with a few wrist taps. Edit: Oh, and you can set long-presses for buttons to make them shortcuts. I have the top button for notifications, and the bottom go straight to my music.
