My pebble just arrived.. Love it so far. My paired device is a Galaxy S3. I am using the Just A Bit face. I have installed Pebble Notifier to get more notifications. Tempted to get into the SDK and make a some timer app and a stopwatch app. Too early so far to comment on the battery life. Anyone else have one?

Based on some of the other feedback I have been reading I have decided to put mine back in the box until the screen protector I ordered arrives. I ordered this: http://www.skinomi.com/sk12425-pebble-smartwatch-carbon-fiber-skin-protector.html

Ramjet007: I've put an order in for one. Anyone know how long before i will get to pay and get it shipped? For a Pebble or a screen protector? For pebble it is hard to say, I believe they are still filling the Kickstarter backer orders. I backed on the 14 of April 2012I received shipping notification on the 21st of Feb 2013. The shipping docket show it actually shipped on the 18th.. It arrived on 23 Feb 2013.

I backed on the 19th of April, and mine is showing as processing shipment.... should see it in a week or two I imagine. and they are still fulfilling kickstarter orders, then there are the general pro-orders, then they should start shipping normal orders. My guess would be Juneish?

How are you able to see the status of your order? When i entered my details it didnt create an account. Just sent me an email says they would let me know when to pay.

Because they are only dealing with the kickstarter orders at this point. The pre-orders will be next. Considering they have only shipped 15000 of the 75000odd kickstarter pre-orders to date, you are a wee way off.

okay... received mine on Friday so that took two weeks. First impressions - really like the watch... but the software needs a lot of work... real problems interfacing with iOS at this point. (Problemmatic email notifications, connection prompts after phonecalls, Bluetooth connecting as an audio device, bluetooth interfering with other bluetooth audio devices) Hopefully now that they are in the latter stages of production, they can concentrate on the software and releasing meaningful SDKs.

Will be following this tread. I have been checking the website every couple of weeks to see when it will come off 'pre order'. At least now I know they have started shipping them. I am pretty set on ordering one for my birthday (next month) so heres hoping your feedback is all positive (im andriod so ill ignore that iOS bit :)
