We live in the era of smart watches, whether from Apple, Samsung, Motorola, LG and others. But there is a watch that many see as the first true smartwatch in the past, and it is the Pebble that introduced a radically different concept at the time of its introduction in Kickstarter and made it generate more than $ 10 million in financing. Yesterday, Pebble decided to launch a new generation of watches that achieved nearly $ 9 million in financing in less than 24 hours, and beat the record for the fastest crowdfunding. Learn about this new watch and what did you present?
The new watch came with the name Pebble Time and introduced a new look for smart watches, while companies strive to provide the most beautiful and most vibrant screen, Pebble came with a color E-Paper screen and this type of screen is the one that Amazon uses in some Kindle devices, and it is characterized by low energy consumption Significantly, which makes it last for 7 days without charging, in addition to being the best type of screen for visibility in strong lighting such as the sun. But, of course, its disadvantage is the lack of color quality compared to regular watches.
The watch also includes a voice command feature, so you can communicate quickly, such as requesting an appointment reminder or recording a note and anything you want. It also includes in the side three buttons through which you can control everything, starting with responding to notifications in a simple way. The three buttons are also used to navigate the watch face. Pressing the middle button tells you the current time, the upper button takes you to what you have missed from news and notifications, and the lower button enables you to know what is next in your appointments list and the calendar or various reminders.
Since the position of the position is also squeezed, the innovators made sure that the design is suitable with the shape of the wrist as well as waterproof and shockproof, which makes it not affected by falling to the ground from you and even that its frame is the size used in regular watches, so you can buy any frame and install it on the watch and it becomes appropriate is yours
Also, like other smart watches, the Pebble includes a sensor that can recognize movement, how many walked, the time period, and all information about fitness, and the company has revealed the support of major companies in this field such as JawBone, MisFit, RunKeeper and others for the watch. Apart from fitness apps, the watch is supported by more than 6500 apps, including giants such as Evernote, PayPal, and Welp.
One of its great features is that it always works and the screen is illuminated with time 24 hours, which is a good feature, as most watches either work when you touch them or sensors that can recognize that you are looking at the watch. The company stated that it supports many languages (Arabic is not supported and Chinese soon will be supported) and it also works with Android 4 and later devices, as well as all Bluetooth-enabled iOS devices 4 (starting from the 4s). It is available in three colors, which are black, white and red, at a price of $ 179, and shipping around the world as of next June. If you want to buy a watch, visit this link.
