The Pebble 'e-Paper' Watch Has to Be from the Future

— April 13, 2012 — Unique
Next up after this do-it-all Pebble 'E-Paper' Watch from Pebble Technology in California will have to be some sort of hologram-induced timepiece. There really isn't much more a modern watch can do to top this Pebble watch.

This watch can hook up with your iPhone or Android to extend its capabilities to every wearer's imagination. As the apps for the watch grow, so do its functions. This could potentially mean more version of the watch could lead to one not having to remove their phone from their pocket to use it. So far, this watch can help cyclists and joggers measure performance, it can control music and it even doubles up as a golf rangefinder. It is the perfect multipurpose wristwatch that keeps a flashy design so even the most stylish people can wear them. It's been featured on Kickstarter and has already gained 200% support.
