Wow. Just got my Pebble Index 01. I’ve been excited about this device since it was announced, and a bit concerned as well as to whether it’d work.

Well, I love it.

I even bought the 3d printed sizing kit to make sure it’d work—I opted for the size that fits on my ring finger, despite them suggesting that I go with the index.

After a quick setup (and a slightly buggy vibe coded iOS app—Pebble if you’re interested I’m happy to help improve the UI of the app), my first two tests performed perfectly.

And here’s the thing—the Pebble, in one instant, with one try, did something that Apple Watch and iPhone and Homepod have all failed utterly at over the years. I added a reminder, and had an instant, 100% hit rate of success.

That’s a great product.

I asked it to remind me to pickup milk tonight, and a second later I checked and saw it in my Apple Reminders app.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve tried to get my Apple Watch to performance this dance. It often has a 50% success rate, and that’s infuriating. Sometimes Siri takes a nap (and yes, I have the new Siri on iOS 27, if anything it’s worse than old siri for simple tasks like this), sometimes it misreads me and plays a song, and sometimes it just errors out.

The Pebble is so simple, and perfect.

I’m excited to see if it becomes my replacement for—well many things. So much of the reason I hold onto an Apple Watch (apart from seeing calendar events) is to be able to quickly capture 5 second ideas for later. With the Index 01 I can press a button, speak into it, and then have my phone process that once I get back to it.

Now, this glowing report is obviously a bit new, since I just tried it. But if it works as well as I’m hoping, I’ll be an absolute believer.
