Great Smartwatch
ByTbarnes120fromGilbert, AZ
I, too, am a backer and have my red Pebble on my wrist. I am a business trainer and it is so very convenient to simply glance at my watch to see who is sending me an email, text, or caller ID for calls while I am working. No one knows that the quick glance at my watch has more purpose than simply reading the time. I love the look and I get compliments on the style daily. I have sent many a shopper online to order one for themselves. I use the Run Keeper app when I ride my bicycle and that is very nice. Not only to see my time and distance but I can see notifications and choose to address them or not while on a ride. I have banged my watch into a few walls or door frames but thankfully no scratches. I own 5 watches and this one is by far my favorite. There are many functions built into the watch that have yet to be exploited by unwritten apps so this watch will be in service for a long time. A grand slam in my book!

In order for Run Keeper to work, do you need to ride or run with your phone as well?
