It definitely wasn't the Data Link model--that one is pretty sweet. The short answer is that there's not a timer today, which was the first thing I reacted to as it is so important for me. I don't know if it's a display limitation or something else. <br /><br />I tend to use my stopwatch A LOT, and not just for running/mountain biking. Many times when I'm hiking, I'll want to know how much time has elapsed on a trail so I can compute how much time to get back. When I'm driving long distances, I like to have a backup on distances for various reasons (one time my gas gauge broke in Alaska). The list goes on.<br /><br />Runkeeper will solve my most immediate need, but I'm guessing that a proper chronograph will be one of the first new apps delivered once the SDK is made available if it's technically feasible. <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!<br />@multicastmattMatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09103794229142966732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5993597436389850680.post-90952953923496083552013-03-20T15:07:32.624-07:002013-03-20T15:07:32.624-07:00Which Timex Ironman did you have?

I pre-ordered a Pebble since I wasn't able to get in on the kickstarter before it closed. I really like the options that are already available, but the core function I use my watch for now is the timer.

Works like a charm until someone builds an "app for that" :)<br /><br />@MulticastMattMatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09103794229142966732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5993597436389850680.post-68216539881235632492013-03-19T18:06:03.914-07:002013-03-19T18:06:03.914-07:00Absolutely Eric--you guys have done a phenomenal j...Absolutely Eric--you guys have done a phenomenal job and I'm loving my Pebble. I've been enamored with e-Ink/ePaper ever since I got my first Sony reader and it's amazing how far it's come in the past few years. A watch is such an awesome form factor. <br /><br />By the way, if you're ever in Austin, we'd love to have you present at the IEEE Computer Society or Agile Austin monthly meeting. There is a strong maker culture in town and I know that folks could really benefit from what you've learned. <br /><br />Rock on!Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09103794229142966732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5993597436389850680.post-3539904674910353442013-03-19T12:07:22.103-07:002013-03-19T12:07:22.103-07:00I'm wanting a basic Time and Temperature app f...I'm wanting a basic Time and Temperature app for my Pebble. Seems like I'm pulling my humongous Galaxy Note II out of my pocket just to see what the outside temp is.
