Can we make Pebble Watch to transmit over bluetooth, and use it as bluetooth advertisement?

Question

I was thinking can we make Pebble watch to transmit signal strength over bluetooth and use it as a bluetooth advertisement device. This way Pebble itself can be used to do something that we have iBeacons doing.

Any thought about it?

No. Pebble does not provide any Bluetooth LE APIs (as of march 2014).

iBeacon is a Bluetooth LE based protocol. You will have to wait for Pebble Bluetooth LE apis to do that.
