I happened to notice today, that it was two-thirds of the way through the day. That's because the Pebble has a face that tells you Swatch internet time.
This is, of course, ridiculous.
But it's also good. Obviously the coming wave of smart watches will do all sorts of incredible things that wrists could not previously have imagined, but maybe they'll also make room for some little side projects that enable different ways of marking time. Investing in a whole watch that takes a sidestep like that is a bit like investing in a metric calendar - probably not worth it. (See below, I do a lot that's not worth it.) But as another screen, an extra diversion, it's interesting, it's perhaps worth playing with. That'll be fun.
