I've had my pebble time 2 for a few weeks now, and prior to that, the pebble time steel on and off since 2015.

between them I've also tried fitbit, fossil, and amazfit.

Coming back to pebble is like coming home, this is everything a smartwatch should be. Minimal, fun, long battery life, always on display. Functional, I can read and respond to notifications easily. Great build quality.

of course it's missing a few things, such as you can't answer calls on it.

My question is, with it hitting all these points so well, why has it not hit the mainstream? Marketing? Is it not flashy enough?

Would love to hear your thoughts and theories.

Brand new after 2 days use. WTF!

Guess it's back to my trusty old Amazfit Bip

guys, always wear your protection! It’s a small chip, but..

(have no idea how it happen)

In addition to the "Most Loved" and "All" sections of both the Watchfaces and Apps pages, it would be nice to see new entries as well. Or am I crazy and just missing the way to view new stuff?

Finally got a PT2, as someone who had an OG Pebble back in high school and later a Pebble Time, this feels just like I remember, and I love it. The only thing kind of bugging me is the backlight has a significantly more blue tint compared to my PT. I know it's an rgb backlight, but has anyone figured out the best hex value for a neutral light without much tint? I played with it for a while and couldn't nail it down.

Thanks y'all!

I'd like to know if it's possible to make different buzzing patterns for different notifications, so for instance WhatsApp buzz twice, Signal long &short buzz

Maybe most people don't use focus modes or Do Not Disturb on iOS, because the current notification implementation completely ignores them, and I'm surprised I don't see it mentioned more often.

I use focus modes pretty extensively - to block certain notifications during work hours, block others during personal hours, block most (with a few exceptions) during sleep... but notifications as-built ignore the quiet notification flag on iOS. This means you either get buzzes for every enabled notification (even with phone DND enabled), or you get zero notifications at all (with watch Quiet Time enabled).

To compound this, you can only automatically enable Quiet Time on a basic schedule (which might work for SLEEP at least if your sleep schedule is consistent...) or for calendar events. You can't even enable Quiet Time when the watch detects sleep.

There is a PR to respect the silent flag and Eric responded:

pretty cool find! If this gets added, it should be off by default. Many people rely on keeping their phone in DND permanently and still receiving Pebble notifications. I like the idea of re-using the same toggle as android!

One person's bug is another person's feature 😉

I think he's referencing the toggle on Android which is something like "Respect phone do-not-disturb". Is he right that many of you keep the phone in DND and want notifications to still buzz your wrist? This is especially distracting if you wear the watch to sleep and use it as an alarm - so you basically have to manually enable and disable Quiet Time every night.

tl;dr Quiet Time as-built is largely all-or-nothing and manual, but Pebble already receives a flag from the iPhone about whether the notification should be silent (including during DND) and I'm surprised that a toggle to respect that silent flag on iOS isn't a higher priority for the community.

What it says. Ever since I got my Time 2 and connected it, my phone will randomly reboot while I'm using it. It even once rebooted in the middle of watching a YouTube video. I tried unpairing and forgetting the watch, clearing the app cache, reinstalling the app, and factory resetting the watch, but nothing seemed to help.

Happy owner of a Pebble Time 2 here!

I enable and disable Airplane Mode quite often to avoid keeping Bluetooth on when I'm not wearing the watch. However, whenever the Airplane Mode screen appears, I can clearly see the watch face still visible in the background, like ghosting/image retention.

I contacted support through the app, and they asked me to upload a video showing the issue. The problem is that I can't get my phone's camera to capture it. It's clearly visible to the naked eye, but it doesn't show up in the recording.

I've also tried filming in slow motion, with no luck. I'm using a Pixel 6a.

Any idea how I could capture this properly on video?

I need an BPM tapper app. But there is no app that support touch screen, So I made it

It support touch screen and speaker

Supported input mode - touch - button - Z axis (experimental)

Supported metronome - Screen flash - Sound - Vibration - Flash + Sound - Flash + Vibe

Can adjust BPM with up/down button to match your music

Released a small update, 1.2.0, to my watchface for photographers — the one that lets you track the light through the day.

What's new:

• The 24-hour ring around the dial can now be turned around in the settings: noon at the top, midnight at the bottom, so the sun climbs the left side and comes down the right, the way it moves in the sky.

• The small text on the Astro screen is bold now, and on PT2 and Round 2 it also went up a size step, which should make the information easier to read.
• A small correction to the weather colours on the Clock screen. Green turned out to be the dimmest of the three on a real display, so "good conditions" looked fainter than "bad ones". It uses a brighter green now.
• A small fix to how the light ring is drawn on the black-and-white watches.

Thanks to u/BitLicker and u/Alfiewoodland for the suggestions.

As for the near future, I want to try showing the sun and moon azimuth with a compass arrow (assuming it doesn't drain the whole battery faster than anyone gets to use it), and to make an analogue version of the watchface as a separate app.

If you have any suggestions or remarks about the app, leave a comment - I'll see what I can do for the next version.

Does anyone know if it's possible to turn off just the step counter in health monitoring, or maybe manually set it to zero?

I'm unable to walk and bedbound, so as amusing as it is for it to say I'm walking hundreds of steps a day, it's entirely inaccurate.

I want to keep the heart rate and sleep tracking, but I can only find a way of turning them all off.

I used to be Android, now I’m iPhone, and I’m considering a Pebble.
The thing I loved about the Pebble was long battery life and filtered, silent notifications on my wrist and media playback.

Does it live up to my simple expectations?

Originally, I bought a soft screen protector off etsy. It took about two weeks to come and is overcut. Meaning that it wasn’t the exact shape of the screen, so there’s always overhang and because of that both protectors came in a single week..

I have since ordered a bumper and it’s nice and snug, but I want to add a screen protector. Any good recommendations that would fit with a bumper?

Thanks in advance! *note I’m in the states
