About half a year ago I pre-ordered a copy of the much talked-about Pebble watch, with e-ink display and smartphone connectivity. This morning I received an email that a batch of 5000 are ready to ship, so I payed and confirmed my order. My luck is of course that it will be shipped to Amsterdam (they don't ship to China, neither can you order anywhere outside the US, for now), and that I will just be there when it arrives!
The Pebble will be extremely useful as a sailing watch, because it can connect to apps running on a smartphone and display stuff like speed, course, and covered distance without ever having to let go of the helm. Its e-ink display is perfectly sunlight readable and best of all, it's genuinely waterproof.
