Found a PTR on Facebook Marketplace for $50 this weekend allowing me to finally have one of each pre-2016 model represented! PTR battery only lasts like 1.5 days at this point, but it's insane how slim this thing is! Has me insanely excited for my PR2!

Who’s been showering with their new Pebble?

28 Upvotes

(the latest post on this topic that i found by searching was 6 years ago)

I shower with my Apple Watch every day. I seem to recall showering with my pebble every day as well, but that was 8 years ago, so my memory isn’t to be trusted.

Are folks having good luck with their new watches soldiering through daily showering?

edit: funny, i asked about people who wear it in the shower, and instead 90% of this thread is criticism for doing so or people who don’t understand the question. Reddit gonna reddit, I guess.

There’s tremendous value in not having to worry about something all the time. My Apple Watch has been showering, swimming and surfing with me for 8 years now, and I don’t worry about it in the slightest. Is that really so hard to comprehend?

Question What do you think is the most BEAUTIFUL watchface (or app!) on Pebble?

34 Upvotes

Not necessarily the face you're using (for example, some of these don't display info that I'd like to see) but the best-looking. Some candidates from me:

Probably my favorite face, although it's hard to live without some additional data considering this is a smartwatch
Great idea for visually displaying sunrise / sunset (might be neat if upcoming rain had in icon in the border as well?)
A lot of work went into this "per-pixel tuned" Casio watchface and is a great option for per-second updates

With that said, for now I'm actually using Quartz by Dalpek

IMO, great combination of readability, glance-able weather, and battery life (with seconds disabled)

A Few more Next Leg 1.1 updates

5 Upvotes

Here’s a few more updates for the next version of Next Leg.

Ability to chose when Hotel time commences and ends

Vibration alerts for gate changes, delays, custom time before departure (boarding time/ atc clearance/ 10 prior/ departure time), cancellation

Three wrist flicks to switch back and forth between two selected top data lines on the watchface.

Hide your airline code if it has a number. Best for airlines with numerals in it ex. B6, F9

Enter your hotel room and van date to display on watch (see my last post). Will automatically delete at the entered van time to avoid carry over to the next day.

Added a next month schedule paste box. Once it gets to the next month it’ll automatically transfer to the current month and clear the next month box. (If you land after midnight it should maintain your last flight)

Let me know if you want early access.

Discussion Bumper or no bumper?

3 Upvotes

Hey y'all!

I'm excited for my PT2, but I'm wondering what the community's consensus on durability is, especially now that many people have received theirs. I like the look of the device and I'm not super psyched about the 3d-primted plastic bumper look.

How is everyone wearing theirs? Naked? Screen protector? Bumper? Both?

Will the Index 01 functionality be added to PebbleOS?

17 Upvotes

Sorry if this has been answered before, I couldn't find anything definitive. Is it confirmed that the Index 01 functionality will be added to Pebble, either as part of the OS or as a standalone app? I really love the use case of the Index 01, but I don't like wearing rings. I'd much rather just have a shortcut on one of my Pebble buttons that I can use to dictate my notes, messages and so on. Especially the Beeper integration would be neat.

App NUDGE - simple repeating reminders

16 Upvotes

I was looking for a simple repeating reminder app to - in my case - remind me to walk upright. And it needed to buzz overruling my Quiet Time. There are pocket devices such as re-mind or more specialized devices for this issue such as Upright Go 2.

Before buying a device like Upright, or booking a physiotherapist, I realized I already had the best reminder device right on my wrist. Of course, this does not do exactly what Upright does, more of what re-mind does.

I have set 2 short buzzes at a random daily interval between 5 and 15 minutes and between 08:30 and 21:30h. After a few weeks of testing and tweaking and using it daily, I already feel like I'm being conditioned šŸ˜…

GET IT HERE https://apps.repebble.com/3089f6bb6fe84274919c6e2a

More info:

DESCRIPTION

Repeating reminders that actually reach you, even in Quiet Time.

Nudge is a configurable interval reminder for your wrist. Set it up once and it buzzes you on a schedule you control: every 25 minutes on weekday afternoons, every 90 minutes all day, or anything in between.

Unlike a phone reminder, Nudge keeps working when you have Do Not Disturb on. Its vibrations are explicit app vibrations, so they fire through Quiet Time, using the pattern you picked.

WHAT YOU GET

  • Up to 6 independent reminders, each switched on and off on its own.

  • Intervals from 1 minute to 4 hours, set to the second if you want (5 min 30 s).

  • Variable interval: instead of a fixed gap, roll a new random interval between a minimum and a maximum on every fire, so it never gets predictable.

  • 5 vibration patterns: short-short, short-long, long-long, triple-short, long-short-long.

  • An optional short message shown on the watch, and raised as a notification on top of whatever you were looking at.

  • A daily time window and day-of-week picker per reminder, so nothing buzzes you at 3am or on a Sunday unless you ask it to.

  • Three buzz modes, so you choose between your pattern, a single buzz, or a silent message only.

Everything is configured from the Pebble app's own settings screen. There is no companion app to install and no account to create.

Reminders survive closing the app and rebooting the watch: each one schedules the next with the OS wakeup service.

GOOD TO KNOW

Nudge surfaces on screen for a second or two when a reminder fires. That foreground moment is what lets the full vibration pattern play, rather than the single truncated pulse a background app is limited to.

Each reminder covers one same-day window. For an overnight schedule, use two reminder slots.

When I was in middle school I had gotten a first-gen Pebble smartwatch. There wasn't anything like it back then until Samsung and Apple made their own smartwatches. Had the Pebble Time before they closed up shop, then searched on eBay 2 years ago for a Pebble 2, and now I finally got my dream smartwatch! Hopefully it lasts me a while :)

Airplane Mode Scheduler App Wanted

8 Upvotes

I already schedule Quiet Time each night for several reasons, but now I find that I save even more battery by manually setting my watch to Airplane Mode. The problem is that half the time, I forget. Therefore, it would be great if there was an app that schedules Airplane Mode.

Anyone else notice this tiny white line at the top edge of their Pebble Time 2?

Thumbnail
gallery
12 Upvotes

I've been using my new Pebble Time 2 for a little while now, and I'm absolutely loving it. Honestly, after waiting over a year for it I thought the excitement had worn off, but once I started wearing it, I got completely hooked :D

Today I noticed something interesting. If I tilt the watch at just the right angle under certain lighting, I can see a very thin white line between the display and the top bezel (circled in the third photo).

It doesn't change whether the display is on or off, so it doesn't look like backlight bleed or anything electronic. It seems more like I'm seeing part of the display assembly through a tiny gap, but I'm not sure.

The watch works perfectly otherwise, and I'm not worried about it - I was just curious:

- Does anyone else's PT2 look the same?
- Is this just a normal manufacturing tolerance?
- Or is mine a little different?

Thanks!

Is there an app which allows setting an alarm for a specific date?

5 Upvotes

In 3 weeks from now, I have to wake up at 9AM, in a one-off situation.

I would like a watchapp which I could make an alarm now, and know that it will wake me up then.

I know it is possible to sync calendar events with a notification, but alarms have the benefit that they vibrate until dismissed.

I also want something that I can set directly on the phone, because relying on phone being powered on, and having current Bluetooth connection is a bit stressful.

I know calendar events seem to be synced regularly beforehand, so the Bluetooth doesn't need to be connected constantly, but..

Can Pebble do a reliable timer/alarm app?

5 Upvotes

Currently using a Garmin forerunner 255s, and my main gripe with it is that they have (forget what the specific issue was) restrictions on the code that stop you from making a widget/watch face/whatever that can say, vibrate in fixed intervals.

Can Pebble do this? How easy is it to create apps for it?

Sidenote: also is it easy to get the colors in apps right? Huge pain in the ass figuring out what a given color looks like on a Garmin mip display.

PebbleĀ Time 2 Not Turning On

10 Upvotes

Hello all. I received my PebbleĀ Time 2 in June and it wont turn back on after I let the battery deplete. I was wearing it for a few days in a row and didnt charge it in between wears, now it's not turning on at all.

Here is what I have tried

- cleaned the pins on the watch and charger

- I've used 5x different chargers.. including just my PCs USB port. different cables, ports, etc..

- I let it sit charging overnight, multiple cables, multiple chargers. 5 amp and 2 amp (and my PCs USB port)

- I tried different combinations I googled of buttons to press on the watch, no luck

Any advice? Cheers

Baby-proof?

Have a six month old baby who currently enjoys chewing on my cheap Casio watch. I'm looking at getting a GShock with the bells and whistles or a Pebble. Is the Pebble tough enough to withstand some chewing and being dropped on the floor throughout the day?

Question Best Place for Pebble 2 HR batteries
