The Future Of Watches Is Here; Meet Pebble.

Pebble - a fellow Y Combinator company - has created a revolutionary smart watch that integrates seamlessly with iOS and Android devices. The company raised a record $10.2 million by preselling 85,000 watches on Kickstarter, a leading crowdfunding platform.

Eric Migicovsky, Pebble’s CEO and co-founder, speaks with TechCrunch’s John Biggs. This video is an excellent preview of the highly anticipated device, and the limitless potential of connected, software-driven smart watches. It is also a wonderful study on how to handle a rude interviewer.
