A huge thank you to the original poster. I'm wearing my Pebble Watch at the moment. It arrived yesterday, and I had forgotten why I didn't like anything on my wrist, but determined to give it a go for a week.

Peony -- in another thread I mentioned Google Voice Commands. That allows you to verbally do a lot phone functions. "OK Google remind me at 8am to call Jack" (it will load my calender, and give me a reminder in the morning.... which is great as I didn't fumble with anything!)
