Get Your MAKE Pebble Watchface Just in Time for Maker Faire
If you’re an early-adopter, like so many makers are, then there’s a good chance you’ve already got a Pebble smartwatch. With the recent updates to the development platform, we’re starting to see a rush of fun, and functional custom watchfaces for the Pebble, as well as web-based tools for generating them.
In the MAKE spirit, and out of the imperative to show my maker pride at Maker Faire Bay Area in 9 days, I went ahead and made a custom MAKE watchface. If you see me at Maker Faire and show me your Pebble with the Make watchface, I’ll show you the secret maker handshake.
Pebble Ready to Roll?
The folks behind the highly anticipated Pebble smart watch, a crowdfunded project that’s now the stuff of Kickstarter legend, say they have some big news to share with backers and the world Jan. 9.
The Pebble Won’t be Home for Christmas
The cautionary tale of the Pebble smartwatch grows a bit longer. Shipment of the Pebble, a Kickstarter star that raised $10 million from backers, has been delayed again and won’t ship by Christmas as promised. The new ship date: “soon.”
