It's got its own processor on board. One of the questions posed was will it run without a bluetooth connection to the phone. The answer was that it'll continue to execute the clock or whatever app was last loaded.<div>

I'm anxious to see the SDK, but it appears that the watch is just a
B&W "pretty" face with 4 buttons. The intelligence actually
runs elsewhere as far as I can tell. Still, looks pretty cool as
well.<br>

OK, I'll fully admit that I am an RF guy when it comes to
APRS. I am a limited internet-APRS connection user,
however, there is a new product coming out that I would love
to see used for some kind of APRS display with a smartphone.
It's called the Pebble:<br>

Watch the video for details. At the end they mention an end
user SDK that can let you send and receive data to/from the
watch via an Android or iPhone. Even though it pretty much
takes radio out of the equation, I would love to see some
kind of gateway on the phone that would allow you to display
APRS station info, messages, WX data and even respond to
message through this watch. I wonder if these functions
could be integrated into APRSDroid on Android or IBCNU (I
think that is the iPhone flavor) to support this?<br>
<br>
Just thought some here might find this as an interesting
application!<br>
