Gear S2 and Tasker for IOT Post navigation If interested do check pricing though for the watch. The links in the above article should help you. So now not only do I have a black-leather-strapped work of art attached to my wrist (you really DO have to see the display – which, depending on watch face (and there are many hundreds of them thanks to Mr Time Maker app) can be seen in reasonably bright (Spanish) sunshine, but also I can control all my household gadgets in comfort. the list is endless and growing by the minute. Just as an aide the watch has technology underneath to do your pulse rate and there is also the usual health stuff like how many steps you’ve taken, weather locally, news, alerts etc. If you, like me, have no artistic skills then you can create your own watch-face in no time at all like the one I’ve shown on the right – done right in Mr Time Maker’s web page – but if you have a little skill you can make a DAMNED good emulation of just about any watch on the planet. If you’ve used tasker – you’ll know you can do just about anything with it – including (with an add-on) send MQTT messages.

So, several days later my Gear S2 Classic turned up. a beer later and he showed me the watch again – this time with a Gucci watch face. He flicked his wrist and the most wonderful Tag Heuer display popped up. However things move on and I was sitting with a neighbour perhaps 3 weeks ago now and I notice his wrist hovering as if to say “you need this, Peter”. ![]() I had one of the very originals which sadly did not survive a swimming expedition in a saltwater hotel pool and the guys at Pebble replaced it without question. ![]() For a change from processor boards, let me tell you about my new WATCH.įor a long time I’ve been a faithful Pebble user, the watch has a week’s battery life, a display you can read in sunlight and a host of applications.
