I've had mine for a couple of weeks, using it with an iPhone, and so far it's a neat toy that doesn't do very much. I can see text messages, and I can see the phone number of the person calling me (not their name yet, though). I can control the music playing on my phone. That's about it right now. I haven't tried Runkeeper yet. I've heard that Android users can hook in to a lot more. Hopefully iOS opens up more access for other apps to send notifications to it. The feature I probably use the most is the watch itself - I don't have to pull my phone out of my pocket to check the time, and flicking my wrist to activate the backlight works really well.

It looks like there could be a lot of interesting things on the horizon: Watchfaces augmented with data from the internet Remote controls for internet connected devices Multi-player Pebble games 4sq/Facebook/Yelp Check-in Apps Sports/Weather/News/Traffic tickers Emergency beacon activator Deeper sports integration (skiing, hiking, surfing, tennis, soccer score keeping)! Bitcoin price trackers (most important watchapp?)

Exactly what I was about to write. Went back to my Nike Fuel band almost immediately. As a watch, it's just ok. Beyond that, it just isn't that useful. And as phones continue to get thinner and lighter -- I guess I don't see the point.

  The Fuel Band is the worst watch I've ever owned. It drives me mad how many times I have to hit the button, and how long I have to wait, just to find out the time.

    Fair point. In truth, I use my phone as my watch. I pretty much dont switch from Fuel reading on band.

I notice that the change between miles and kilometers will not work.
