What does it take to make a great smartwatch? The Kreyos Meteor is an effort to at least outdo the Pebble. Based on features, I'm inclined to agree it does...but is that enough?

I got a chance to see and hold the Kreyos Meteor, a smartwatch that's seeking early-adopter funding on Indiegogo right now. The watch, which comes out this fall, works with iOS, Android, and even Windows Phone 8 devices -- or, if you wish, syncing via Mac or Windows. And, based on the site and the Kreyos Meteor's design, it's clearly aiming at being a Pebble-beater, specifically.
