If brisk sales continue, the Pebble is poised to become a significant player in the emerging wearable computing market, which Google (GOOG) will enter later this year with its augmented reality eyeglasses, Google Glass. Even Apple (APPL) may have a smartwatch of its own coming -- if rumors are to be believed. Gartner Research analyst Michael Gartenberg estimates wearable will become a whopping $10 billion industry by 2017.

如果Pebble继续旺销，它将成为正在兴起的可佩戴式计算机市场上的一家重要厂商。谷歌（Google）将于今年晚些时候携增强现实眼镜产品谷歌眼镜（Google Glass）进军这个市场。而且如果传言属实，苹果（Apple）也或将推出自己的智能手表。市场调研公司高德纳（Gartner Research）分析师迈克尔?加腾伯格预期到2017年，可佩戴式计算机将成长为产值高达百亿美元的产业。

The sudden swell in backing came as a surprise to Migicovsky, a University of Waterloo graduate with an engineering degree, who first dreamed up the idea of a watch that connected wirelessly with a smartphone while he was out cycling one day. "I thought, wouldn't it be cool to see text messages, caller ID, and that kind of thing right there on your watch instead of having to take out your phone?" he recalls.

米基科夫斯基拥有滑铁卢大学（University of Waterloo）工学学士学位。某天他在骑自行车时突发奇想，为什么不设计一款能与智能手机无线相连的手表呢？而Kickstarter上无比成功的募资让他异常惊喜。米基科夫斯基回忆说：“我想，如果能在手表上查看短信、来电等各种信息，而不是掏出手机，是不是非常酷？”
