I can think of many good use cases – but a fitness watch isn’t one of them. That’s a me-too solution, and a substandard one at that.

I agree on the usage, in that I never run with my phone; that said, having solid app developers testing/using the SDK can make for other interesting use cases for the Pebble, and that I care about.

All the makings of a small user base, like much of the tech gadgets and apps coming out of the valley that appeal to the technorati but few others. no thanks, i’ll use a purpose-built device like the Garmin Forerunner. More functional, more durable, cheaper.
