The 2013 witnessed a rise in wearable computing which makes it a great year for web-tethered watches, glasses, and other personal gadgetry items. The Pebble smartwatch does its job, and it does it exceptionally well. The $150 wearable gizmo acts as a satellite for your iPhone or Android handset, receiving snippets such as text-message notifications via Bluetooth and displaying them on its power-efficient E Ink display. Pebble keeps battery drain on your phone to a minimum and also allows for every single notification your iPhone gets to be pushed to your wrist. Pebble has provided an SDK to developers so that applications can communicate with the device, and applications are built for the watch to communicate back to the apps. This watch is waterproof, so you can shower, wash dishes, go in the rain.
