Pebble Watch to be available at Best Buy


Pebble announced it is expending sales of its smartphone watch to Best Buy. The black model is available now at Best Buy's online site and will be available in stores on July 7. Pricing is $149.99. Later in August the red model will be available from Best Buy. All other colors are still only available from Pebble on pre-order.

This is a little curious since people are still waiting for pre-orders. The catch, it seems, is those wanting black Pebbles have little to no wait, so they shouldn't be affected by the move. But still, for those who have been patiently waiting for whatever color, this seems a bit of a thumb to the eye. Pebble does say though that if you have a pre-order you can go ahead and pickup up a black model at a Best Buy store. You'll get a notification email from Pebble when your pre-order is ready for purchase and you can just disregard.
