Bitcoin Forum

Today I made a Bitcoin monitor app for the Sony Smartwatch 2. That's probably as niche as it can get with 0.01% having bitcoin and 0.0001% having that Smartwatch but I'd like to share it anyway with you.
I bought a Pebble and a Sony Smartwatch 2 for other projects and noticed that since then I'm only pulling out my phone to check the bitcoin price action, so I made that little app and guess it's quite ok for a one day project with market release (at this moment not yet listed in my market apps. Might take some hours.) (https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=Wandersleb+Leo), video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHS8taekV84) and bitbucket repo (https://bitbucket.org/giszmo/fluxbitcoin-monitor). Yes, it's open source, so if you don't like it, send me a pull request and I will happily improve it. Also if you happen to have a Smartwatch 1 (how many people do at all?) or some of the other Sony gadgets, maybe it would fit in there, too.

Nice Work.. Was thinking about making one for my galaxy gear... always pulling out the phone to check the price as well  :P

Did you check out the galaxy gear api? Think that can be integrated in this app?

I figured Pebble and Sony Smartwatch would be the bigger platforms and I must say I am still not sure if I can suggest any of these. The Pebble is open and yeah, kind of cool but doesn't stand at all a comparison to the same price range Sony SW2. The SW2 on the other hand has weird limitations such as no ScrollView with buttons. You can only have lists that scroll. Totally killed an app I wanted to develop for it. The SW1 using a completely different api doesn't make me hope the SW3 will run my code, so yeah, I might have to buy the SW3, too? Pebble should be easier in this regard. Else the concept in Sony SW is that everything happens in Android and gets pushed to the device, which is kind of cool as it doesn't require to learn something new as an Android developer and I find it remarkable that Sony went for an Android only solution.

Still can't find a JSON http://www.huobi.com/ ticker :(

Edit: nevermind. sorry for bumping. Found huobi's api here: https://detail.huobi.com/staticmarket/detail.html

Edit: Now the smartwatch extension shows Huobi, BTCChina, MtGox and Bitstamp :)

Nice job, giszmo. Now, turn Pebble into a wallet, and we'll have a winner.

Discovered Pebble a few minutes ago via Kickstarter via an email I received, reviewing Kickstarter 2013.

I know you would punch in data with the 3 buttons interface of the pebble but I doubt many others would. Sorry Bruno but I will leave that to somebody else ;)

Sweet also happens to be the watch my brother just bought! :)
