So you look like an a-hole?

bought my brother a pebble. so here's my experience.

important text or call comes in while in a meeting..you can glance at your watch and tap a predefined quick response without constantly picking up your phone & looking like a douche.

traffic. my phone goes off typically around 5 oclock maybe once or twice a week and lets me know traffic is bad. easier to glance down at the watch if i'm in a meeting than pull my phone out to see how bad it is.

meetings..easy to see your upcoming appointment & time without pulling your phone out. in meetings i'm in..when it gets to be about 10 minutes before the hour everyone starts fidgeting and looking at their phones to see where the next meeting is or what time it is.

the list goes on and on..if you have an android you're already familar with the 'card' UI and if you watched any of the IO conference, you'd see this is where google is heading.

imo the watch is a MUCH less intrusive way of getting info than the dorks who constantly have their nose and finger glued to their phones.
