In fact, it does less than many sports watches you can set alarms, but it doesn't come with a timer. Considering that it's a watch with the processing power of a cellphone from 2008, it really doesn't do much out of the box. What's great about the Pebble isn't that it's particularly smart on its own. There, it was a runaway success, raising more than $10 million in less than a month from nearly 70,000 friends and strangers. The Pebble has impeccable underdog credibility as the brain child of a 26-year-old Canadian entrepreneur who struggled to find money to make it until he posted his project on the fundraising site Kickstarter. Apple has filed patents that demonstrate it's working on a watch, and other "smart" watches are proliferating. The Pebble has a lot of rough edges, but it does a good job of demonstrating the potential of "wearable" computing. At least, that's what I learned after I got the Pebble, a $150 watch that connects wirelessly to iPhones and Android smartphones to notify you of incoming calls, texts and emails.
