That's... a really good idea. Just reading over the article I was trying to find some issue with the Chronos, and I really can't. Half the utility of my pebble is it vibrates when I get a notification, which is really all you need. The LED aspect of it seems like a good solution for it's lack of screen.
The only issue I can see with the device isnt actually related to the device- it looks like it depends on proprietary standards, meaning it needs its own apps and hooks.If noone wants to support another smartwatch in their app, this is dead before it hits the water.
- ghostbrainalpha 11y agoAgree totally about the Pebble vibrate function. I hate hearing my phone ring and ALWAYS keep it on vibrate, but sometimes you don't feel a pocket vibration in your pocket. After realizing a hated all of Pebble's apps, and not needing a watch face to tell time, Pebble just became a wrist vibration band for my text messages. But that feature alone is enough for me to keep the device around.

So I think Chronos will be able to respond to any app that generates iOS notifications.
