Yep, the black ones at least.

I find it handy and have taken mine swimming several times now.

Still falls short on API features, still mostly just an extended notification and caller ID screen when paired with iOS devices.

Android's have advanced a bit more with the two way API.

They just pushed an OS update for the watch and hinted at an API update release very soon.

I see these conversations all the time about Google Glass and wristwatch PDAs and I just don't get it.

Just the latest batch of wearable gizmos, nothing new about it at all

Some netizens think it's the way of the future, others think it is (or is gonna be) the bane of humanity's future. (discuss.)

What is Android support like?

Android support has been there since day one and was superior to iOS till now.

The new SDK brings iOS up to date (iphone 4S and higher with iOS7 that is) and the new APIs are equal across iOS and Android. The new Javascript API is interesting.. You can run Java Scipt API functions within the Common Pebble phone app that can do heavy lifting by calling web-services and feed the data back to the watch.

Nice! I wasn't sure because the update page was fairly focused on the IOS stuff (mind you I only took a quick glance at it).

Cool stuff
