So, when a notification hits your phone, the Pebble immediately buzzes and lights its screen, displaying the content of that notification. It'll sit there for three minutes, then go back to whatever you were doing.
So if you were in the Music controller, you would hit the Pebble's back button to dismiss the notification and you'd see your current track again. If you were on a watch app, you'll see the watch.
Fair point about manners! The fact that the device rather noticeably lights up gives you a bit of cover though.
As someone who already dreads smartphones coming out at lunch or dinner outings with friends, I already hate the idea of people's wrists lighting up and distracting from conversation. :)
Believe me, this is better. The curiosity urge is what gets the phone pulled out of the pocket. From there, it's very low friction to decide to open it up and start screwing around. Separating the two acts has, for me, been an improvement.
