In the absence of a few hours to finish the campaign finance Pebble Time, the next generation of this support Smartwatch has raised over $ 20 million, a figure that will be hard to beat in a while.

Another figure of scandal is that some 78,000 people have helped make this project a reality very soon and although the Pebble Time simplicity can sin against options such as Apple Watch, autonomy than a week (10 days in the case of steel version), color screen, its new platform and smart bracelets have convinced.

If you still want to get your unit Pebble Time or Pebble Time Steel, there’s still time but hurry because as we say, just missing a few hours for it to end their campaign on Kickstarter. What I like is that Pebble opens an interesting debate about what we really want a smartwatch. Do we want to be a miniature smartphone or prefer something more basic in exchange for greater autonomy? I am one who is looking forward to a mixture of both positions appear but now I had to bet on Apple Watch or Pebble Time, I would stay with the Pebble.

A smartwatch I see it as a quick reference tool, not to be permanently interacting with it because that I have my iPhone 6. Also take several years wearables different brands and truth, all I had with autonomy of a day they end up staying home forgotten by many features to offer me. In the end, is holding me most is the Xiaomi Mi Band, simpler than a candy but with an enviable autonomy.

With the Pebble Time careful happens something similar and even simpler not be underestimated as their possibilities are vast, so if not as spectacular as those of Apple Watch.

Pcmag reported: The project’s success still falls short of a few big records. First off, it’s not the most crowd-funded project ever. That honor goes to Chris Roberts’ upcoming Star Citizen MMO, which has raised $76 million (and counting) since the launch of its fundraising campaign in October of 2012. The Pebble Time also falls a wee short of the record for the most backers on a crowdfunding project—set by the (hilariously named) Exploding Kittens card game, created by Elan Lee, Shane Small, and The Oatmeal’s Matthew Inman. A whopping 219,382 (mostly) paid $35 each to get their hands on a copy of the card game, which is expected to start shipping out in July of this year.
