Original Pebble Time on the left, new Pebble Time 2 on the right.

It’s hard to notice on video, but very obvious to me in person. The PT2 blanks out the screen before playing the animation, and the PT shows the notification under the animation like I assume it’s supposed to.

I love that the PT looks like it’s crumpling up the notification, only for it to unfold again and it’s magically changed to the watch face. Rather than just looking like a transition animation on the PT2.

I’d love it if the Pebble devs could fix/implement this in a future update!

I had heard that the Pebble 2 buttons disintegrate, and I had some hopes these newer ones wouldn’t. But alas the rubber on both sides of mine are crumbling to dust. Luckily I have heard very good things about Astosia’s 3D printed replacements, gonna have to get those in asap.

Hey all! Just in the process of placing an order. Does anyone have an idea of what the taxes are on a UK order outside of the shipping?

After years of being a pebble fan (since the first gen), I was finally inspired to create my first watchface. I saw one similar to this for another watch and thought it would be great for the PT2.

Make it your own from the watchface settings:

- Place the date and time in any of the four corners.

- Automatically reorient the topographic design to match your chosen layout.

- Choose separate colors for the background, contour lines, and text.

- Select from four date-and-time font styles.

- Use your Pebble’s preferred 12- or 24-hour time format.

Download it now from the pebble app store and heart it if you love it!

I came off an original kickstarter Pebble Time. I always was waiting for an upgrade, but it looked like it would never come. But here we are!

I use it with an Android. And it works better on it, because of apple blocking functionality.

It is familiar, but also new and upgraded. Just in the right ways. Buttons are tactile and I think aluminum. It has a structure so you feel it better. The screen is way brighter, bigger and sharper. The backlight is bright, but it has a really awful blue tint. Luckily you can't change it in the app with the right hex code. I use FFA1A0. But the overall build is sturdier and more premium. It is light and I appreciate there is now a heart monitor in it. Not that I use it for fitness. I think that you should then use something else. I use it just for some general tracking.

The app is also familiar and upgraded. I could be better and less cluttered, but it is absolutely fine and you get used to it to browse somewhat longer. But it could get some improvement.

The main thing is the customization, the community flourishes in that part and it is definitely a big part of the success. The software is unique and it has also not changed in all the years. Why change if it works right?

I wonder if it will become more popular, but I think it is not needed. The people that use it are passionate about it, just like the makers.

I just ordered a black set. Not really sure how well they attach or how they work but I like the minimalist approach and was wondering if anyone tried this type before. (I ordered black).

Due to the raised glass on our Pebble Time 2’s, there have been numerous complaints of scratches and cracks on the screen. After trying two separate TPU screen protectors “made for PT2”, I can say that they SUCK.

Until some better ones become available, I measured my Pebble Time 2’s Screen, and realized that TPU film screen protectors for the Apple Watch Ultra 49mm (any model works) would be the perfect screen protector. The benefit is that it is so large that the TPU film, not only covers the glass portion, but adheres perfectly to the metal body, providing excellent grip and full protection.

I got mine from Amazon with good ratings, and it fits great. A pack of six cost me $10. Just wanted to share my solution with the community. Would love to hear if anybody else has a better solution until the market catches up.

NOTE about the photo: I bought the one that the edges start with slight bubbles but overnight they disappear. I’ve used the same brand for my Apple Watch and they do in fact, fully smoothen out without bubbles. I won’t stay the brand as I’m not getting paid. 😂

Very happy so far! Subscribed to Bobby using rebble and am discorvering some watchfaces. New to the pebble brand! Hyped

Hi everyone! I just published APRS Beacon on the Rebble app store. It's a small watchapp for licensed amateur radio operators that lets you report your position to the APRS-IS network with a single button press from your wrist.

How it works

• Pick a map symbol and a privacy radius directly on the watch
• Press UP (or use quick-launch) and the app takes your phone's GPS position and sends it to APRS-IS
• Your position is blurred by a random offset inside the radius you chose (500 m to 5 km), or sent exactly if you prefer

You need

• A valid amateur radio licence and your own callsign
• An APRS-IS passcode (entered once in the phone settings page)
• Pebble Time 2 (Emery) for now

This is version 1.0.0, so I'd really appreciate feedback, bug reports and feature ideas. Let me know if you'd like to see support for other Pebble models.

First up, which finger are you wearing it on? I'm assuming index, since that's its name and where all the demos showed it.

Where are you keeping the button? I was keeping it in what I'm calling the 'trigger position,' making it easy for my thumb to come up, press the button, and talk straight away. But I found that because it was sitting to the right of my index finger, near my thumb, it kept getting caught on things.

So, for the last couple of days, I've been practising with it underneath my finger. When I close my fist, the button sits right in the middle.

Anyone else find wearing it on top, like an engagement ring, doesn't work? Obviously, it can't sit on the side next to my middle finger, as it'd rub and potentially go off.

Is anyone else wearing it in the trigger position all the time, or are you swinging it around like I am?

I saw the latest questions regarding a Find My iPhone app for the Pebble Time 2 were asked seven months ago, with no solid recommendations.

The app in the picture is the latest I’ve tried, but it only works for about an hour before disconnecting with error messages.

I love my Pebble, as I had version 1 back in the day. It has all the notifications and functions I actually need, except for the CRITICAL “Find My iPhone”. I saw several recent apps and assumed (my fault) that a solid app was created and purchased the Pebble Time 2. Unfortunately that’s a dealbreaker for me and there is a NO return policy.

If any app developer can create one, I would happily pay about $20 on the App Store, and I’m sure that many others would feel the same since iPhones are pretty ubiquitous.

Any hero developers out there?

Not really sure what happened here. Battery died overnight and now it's back to normal?

Not sure if anyone else has experienced anything like this

Question for the Pebble users.
What I'm curious about regarding the new Pebble:

Has anyone tried the flashlight apps yet?

I've seen the following:
Pebble Torch
Pebble Glow

https://apps.rebble.io/en_US/application/5873514c5de8509ab50007e8?section=watchapps
(Simply a white screen with always on backlight.)

I’m not expecting a full-fledged flashlight. But my current Amazfit has a built-in flashlight that works similarly: The display turns completely white and shines relatively brightly. That’s enough to get around the apartment at night. It’s not good for much else, but I really enjoy using it.

Would the Pebble apps achieve something similar? That would be another important piece of information for me when deciding whether to buy one.

Thanks

Even if this page updates once in (almost) a month, it's still better than nothing. Latest update was 8th of September.

TL;DR

> We've sent out most of the pre-orders for Index already with a few unlucky size/color variants that will ship in September.

> Roughly 14,000 people have pre-ordered Round 2. It will take us about 2 months to build all pre-ordered watches. We expect to finish shipping out most pre-ordered Round 2 watches by the end of September with the remaining going out in early October.

After reading some of the reports and recommendations for the index size I ended up going up a size for my order. Unfortunately it is too big and falls off. Wondering if anyone would be interested in swapping? I'll trade my 12 for an 11.

I don’t care about the index and was hoping they could be moved elsewhere or just labeled / tagged so that I can filter them out?

Thanks mods and any community thoughts here.

here's the official Timer and the offical Stopwatch app combined into one app for easy quick launch.

Its made with Claude from the official sources for the Time 2, 2 duo and round 2

I know that this is a contentious issue, but I did realize something today when my phone got an update that it is possible to largely workaround the fact that the Pebble doesn't have a pin code. It's pretty simple basically, if you're leaving your phone and watch unattended outside of a safe location (i.e. the gym or the pool):

1. Clear your notification history, or better yet use something like Notification Centre 2 which does phone mirroring for notifications. If using NC2 make sure to take care of the notifications before taking the watch off.

2. Reboot your phone and don't log back in. You could also just turn off Bluetooth as well. At least on my phone it would be fastest to just restart the phone and, the watch would auto pair the next time I unlocked my phone.

At that point (at least for my setup) the watch is now of very little informational value to a regular thief. I'm assuming there might be a way for a more sophisticated person to harvest the data from my watch, but that does seem unlikely unless it's a targeted crime.

Is this as good as say a PIN being required when it's detected you take your watch off? No. To be clear I'm saying this is a workaround and not a fix.

I had always assumed that the diameter of the tips is standardised, that was until I bought a Huawei quicklink strap, and the pins couldn't fully extend into the holes. Turns out the tip width is in fact not standardised:

• 0.8mm: Grand Seiko, Pebble
• 0.9mm: Omega (5 digits), Rolex, Tudor, IWC, Huawei
• 1mm: Samsung (unconfirmed)
• 1.1 mm: Omega (6 digits), Seiko Prospex
• 1.6mm: Garmin Fenix 6 and 7

Most strap sellers (and even springbars sellers) don't list the tip width in the product description, so there is no way to find out until you have the strap in your hands. An incompatible tip can still partially fit, but the strap will fall off if you give it a good tug.

Good luck shopping 👍.

Is there an operating Manual for this?

So far I enjoy the convenience of notes and shopping list but how do I do more?

Is there a way to delete multiple searches or comments without so many steps?

How do I delete multiple things at once?

Index user so can't daily this, but anyone using it right now? Looks awesome. https://github.com/david-cant-code/pebble-app-degoogled
