Pebble is still alive. We don’t know how Pebble will be able to catch up with other OEMs but we will always remember the startup as one of the pioneers in smartwatch industry. It still is relevant and we think that its product lineup is awesome. The last update about the company was the Time Round Special Edition for Mother’s Day and the release of the Pebble’s Steps with Mario app. The last Pebble firmware update was also released last month and brought the snooze timeline and vibration options. This time, the Pebble is now eligible to get the 3.12 firmware update.
To check if the update is ready, simply go to Menu> Support> and then choose ‘Update Your Pebble’. This update brings Pebble Health, a feature that will transform your current Time smartwatch into an effective Pebble Health device. With the update, you can track sleeping hours, daily steps, calories taken, and step distance.
It’s simply an improved Pebble Time since people are now “thinking” or are more conscious of their health. Pebble wants to join the fun by allowing Pebble Health to fully integrate with your mobile device.
You’ll notice the new Health section where you can compare your activities per day, week, or month. Feel free to view active time, steps, and calories. There’s also the auto-detection of runs and walks. The app can actually do more. It can send activity summary, help you discover ideal wakeup time, and set alarm. Expect to see the new Pebble Health mobile graphs, notification after a completed activity, and numerous performance improvements and bug fixes.
