>Turns out the answer was _always_ "No."

My experience has been the opposite. I bought a Pebble so I could know whether I had to put down my tools, pull out my phone, and answer a call from my boss; or if I could just ignore yet another call from an idiot coworker.

I wish. Garmin might have done something with it. They sold out to FitBit, whose major motivation was the elimination of a competitor.
