I've never been a watch, necklace, ring guy. But one time when my phone was destroyed, I wished I had a no-screen typing interface somehow so I could call an Uber and get home... alas it was not meant to be, had to figure out how to use the bus.

it is possible to call a Uber with a pebble watch?

  • I don't know, was saying it generally like Apple watch seems to be an extension of the iPhone

    • Not sure if it's still a thing but I remember being able to call Uber with my Apple Watch (cellular version) in 2017 when my phone died.

    • I also realize your point where Uber has its own app, it's not like a phone number you just call. So a "vibration input" type device or something small/maybe without a screen would have to deal with that problem too. Voice would be the easiest interface to talk to an otherwise brick.
