Pebble adds Android Wear notifications to smartwatches

Pebble is taking an “if you can’t beat them, join them” approach to its smartwatches. Pebble updated its Android app to add support for Android Wear notifications. This means you can dismiss alerts and the like right from your Pebble watch. What you’d need is a Pebble or Pebble Steel watch and an Android smartphone running on Android 4.0 or higher, and the latest version of the Pebble app installed (ver. 2.3).
