Pebble is a discontinued smartwatch developed by Pebble Technology Corporation. Funding was conducted through a Kickstarter campaign running from April 11, 2012, to May 18, 2012, which raised 10.3million;itwasthemostfundedprojectinKickstarterhistory,atthetime.PebblebeganshippingwatchestoKickstarterbackersinJanuary2013.PebblewatchescanbeconnectedtoAndroidandiOSdevicestoshownotificationsandmessages.AnonlineappstoredistributedPebble−compatibleappsfrommanydevelopersincludingESPN,Uber,Runkeeper,andGoPro.Asteel−bodiedvarianttotheoriginalPebble,thePebbleSteel,wasannouncedatCES2014andreleasedinFebruary2014.Ithasathinnerbody,tactilemetalbuttons,andaCorningGorillaGlassscreen.Itisavailableintwofinishes:blackmatteandbrushedstainlesssteel,withbothablackleatherandamatchingsteelband.In2015,Pebblelauncheditssecondgenerationofsmartwatches:thePebbleTimeandTimeSteel.ThedevicesweresimilarlyfundedthroughKickstarter,raising20.3 million from over 75,000 backers and breaking records for the site. In 2016, Pebble shut down their subsequent Time 2 series watches and refunded Kickstarter backers, citing financial issues.
On December 7, 2016, Pebble officially announced that the company would be shut down, and would no longer manufacture or continue support for any devices, nor honor any existing warranties. Pebble's intellectual property was purchased by Fitbit, a wearable technology company specializing in fitness tracking, who also hired some of the Pebble staff. Further clarification on the transition timeline and efforts to render Pebble OS and its watchfaces/apps more self-sufficient was posted to the Pebble Dev Blog on December 14, 2016. Support for the Pebble app store, online forum, cloud development tool, voice recognition, and voice replies ceased in June 2018, although support for some online services was restored by the unofficial "Rebble" community.

The Apple Watch is a line of smartwatches produced by Apple Inc. It incorporates fitness tracking, health-oriented capabilities, and wireless telecommunication, and integrates with iOS and other Apple products and services. The Apple Watch was released in April 2015, and quickly became the best-selling wearable device: 4.2 million were sold in the second quarter of fiscal 2015, and more than 115 million people were estimated to use an Apple Watch as of December 2022.
Wearable technology is any technology that is designed to be used while worn. Common types of wearable technology include smartwatches and smartglasses. Wearable electronic devices are often close to or on the surface of the skin, where they detect, analyze, and transmit information such as vital signs, and/or ambient data and which allow in some cases immediate biofeedback to the wearer.
A smartwatch is a wearable computer in the form of a watch; modern smartwatches provide a local touchscreen interface for daily use, while an associated smartphone app provides management and telemetry, such as long-term biomonitoring. While early models could perform basic tasks, such as calculations, digital time telling, translations, and game-playing, smartwatches released since 2015 have more general functionality closer to smartphones, including mobile apps, a mobile operating system and WiFi/Bluetooth connectivity.
The studies presented in this thesis aim to extend the current knowledge and understanding of the mechanical behavior of nanocrystalline materials with respect to temperature- and time dependence. Free standing electrodeposited nanocrystalline nickel speci ...
Background: Physical activity and sleep are behavioral risk factors for cancer that may be influenced by environmental exposures, including built and natural environments. However, many studies in this area are limited by residence-based exposure assessmen ...
Nowadays, wearable devices are largely spread in many fields and in wellness monitoring too. In this paper we propose a smartwatch-based IoT system to improve the monitoring efficacy of critical hospitalized patients. The medical doctor assigned to the uni ...
