Any Kickstarter project that earns $100,000 in the blink of an eye (well, a 2 hour blink, but you get the point) deserves some attention. What’s even crazier than the insane loot tossed at Pebble, is Pebble itself. Whether you’ve got an iPhone or an Android phone, you’re about to want a new accompanying accessory for your wrist. Pebble is an e-paper watch that works with your cell through Bluetooth. Besides displaying the time (a key feature in the watch world), Pebble can alert you to incoming calls, emails, Facebook messages and tons more. Android users can even get text messages right on Pebble (score one for the underdogs). In addition, you can download apps that work in conjunction with Pebble to assist you when you exercise, need some directions or want to listen to music. Now you can forget about skipping a watch cause you’ve got the time on your phone.
