Pebble is set to launch its new watches - Pebble Time and Pebble Time Steel - and we can’t wait! At PayPal, we’re working to make shopping easy and seamless - bringing you one step closer to walking into a store and being able to place your order and pay without ever reaching into your pocket. We shared a few months ago that the PayPal app is on all available wearable platforms, including the latest Android Wear devices, Samsung’s Gear devices and Pebble.

Pebble has been one of the bestselling smartwatches, so it’s no surprise that people are excited for the latest version. The Pebble crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter has raised more than $18 million to date -- making it the largest ever crowdfunding campaign on the platform -- and this is the last week to fund your watch before it closes on March 27. We are proud to be a payment option for this initiative, so Pebble can bring its products to the people – and we can bring payments to your wrist (for starters).

So, don’t forget to crowdfund your new Pebble watch before it’s too late, so you too can pay at local stores right from your smartwatches!
