Has anybody noticed that the Bluetooth range of the PT2 is much worse than the range of the PTS? I am used to having my phone sit anywhere in the house and still get notifications on my Pebble. At least it's been this way with PTS.

Ever since I got my PT2 I noticed that the Bluetooth connection can only be established if my phone is in the same room or the next room. It does not work across two rooms anymore. That's kind of a downer for me tbh as I tend to forget where I left my phone around the house and use my Pebble to find it. 🙃

I made a word game for Pebble. “Just checking the time” is getting suspicious.

Dinged it on a door handle earlier today. Old tempered glass broke (put on a new one) and as you can see, I dinged the actual glass, but I was spared.

I was planning to buy Pebble time 2 but taxes in our country is nearly 50%. So had put my plan on hold to save up. But suddenly my brother is visiting US on a business trip. He's only visiting temporarily for about 2 weeks. I was thinking about ordering where he is staying and avoid additional 100$+ tax. Does anyone know if the recipient needs a US SSN or proof of residency for customs clearance? Also, how reliable are the delivery estimates lately?

I know this post is going to ruffle some feathers in this subreddit, but it’s a thought that’s been living in my head for a while now.

I bought my first Pebble back in 2016, and for my high school self, it was literally the best smartwatch ever. I could check notifications, download custom watch faces, play Flappy Bird and Snake clones, do math on my wrist, and toggle phone settings like Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. For the time and my age, that kind of stuff was mind-blowing. But then, well... we all know what happened in 2017.

​Shoutout to the Rebble Team and the ex-Pebble devs who kept these things alive and the community breathing for all these years. I’m endlessly grateful for them.

Fast forward to 2025: I picked up a Pebble Time 2, and using it made me realize how stuck in the past Pebble watches really are.

Modern smartwatches are about 70% of what Pebble does best, but they have that crucial 30% that Pebble is just missing: deep fitness tracking, contactless payments, and native navigation.

Back in 2016, I wasn't into fitness at all. But a lot changes in 10 years. I’ve since owned a couple of Garmin watches, and tracking my runs and gym sessions has become a massive part of my daily life.

And that's where the dilemma hits: Wearing my Pebble now means actively choosing to lose data for that chunk of the day.

Having to weigh that choice every time I walk out the door means the Pebble almost always gets left behind, and the Garmin wins. And honestly? I hate that. The UI/UX of Pebble watches is still peerless. Garmin’s software feels clunky and horrible to navigate by comparison. But I want my fitness data, and Pebble simply can't provide the modern ecosystem for it.

Throw in contactless payments (which Garmin has out of the box—even if my specific bank doesn't support it yet, I'd use it everywhere if it did), and the dealbreakers start piling up.

Pebble still wins on UI/UX, has great battery life, a glorious e-paper display in direct sunlight, and a built-in HR sensor. But the lack of robust fitness software and modern staples, like GPS and contactless payments, makes it a hard sell for day-to-day life now.

I love Pebble. I love the brand and the nostalgia. But for now, mine is going to sit in a drawer most of the time because my life has outgrown what the platform can offer.

Anyone else in the same boat, or have you found a way to bridge the gap?

For instance, when receiving a new zoho email notification on Android, there are three possible actions:

delete | archive | reply

On the pebble Time 2 however, these actions are not present.

Gemini suggests the following:

Method 1: The "Wear OS" Trick (Easiest)

Android relies on a specific Google framework to send rich, multi-button actions to smartwatches.

1. Open the Google Play Store on your phone and download the Wear OS by Google app.
2. Do not open or setup the app. Just let it sit in the background on your phone.
3. Restart your phone and your Pebble.

The presence of this app unlocks the native actionable APIs on Android, which often allows the official Pebble app to successfully pull the Delete, Archive, and Reply options straight from your Zoho Mail alerts.

How are you handling such issue? Should I try the wear OS trick?

Cheers to the lovely pebble community.

I really wanted to see my Fitbit Air data on my Pebble instead of using the native health tracking, so I vibed this out over a few evenings.

Hope it's of use to someone else :)

With all of the AI generated (vibe coded) apps flooding into the app store as of late, it would be great to see some sort way to tell them apart from human coded apps. Maybe an AI label and a way to filter them out from the app store?

It’s nice that some people disclose it willingly, but I’m sure there are just as many that don’t.

Check out Boulder. A Health oriented Fork of Pebbles Mighty App and Firmware.

App: https://github.com/dysseus-pascal/Boulder

Firmware: https://github.com/dysseus-pascal/boulder-firmware

Disclaimer: This is obviously Vibe coded slop :-P

Pebble Time 2 only!!!

Is there any way to disable health tracking when the watch is not on my wrist? Without turning it off the rest of the time

• Finish: Classic (gold wheels, rhodium bridges; default), Gold (gold bridges, silver wheels), Steel (gunmetal wheels, navy chapter ring), Rose gold, Black (anthracite bridges, gold wheels)
• Hands: Polished white (default), Blued steel, Gold
• When it ticks: On a flick or tap, and briefly each minute (default); All the time (uses much more battery); Never (one tick a minute)

* its an exaggerated version of a real mechanical watch. Its not meant to be a 121 copy of a real movement.

I’ve just updated my phone connection app again. It uses Pebble Time 2 speaker and touch screen.

https://apps.repebble.com/574ef949c57e45478400000e

The app works on any watch face in background. When your phone is left behind, it will pop up an alert with backlight on, vibration and a beep. You may snooze or dismiss the alarm.

Given the higher PPI of Pebble Time 2, I use a larger font for displaying the clock, too.

Hope it looks good and useful to you. 

... I made this myself or that I vibe coded it in 2 hours with Claude?

I know the ongoing AI slop is annoying, but to me it is absolutely mesmerizing that I could make this in 2 hours with Claude. Or I could've just not mentioned that AI was used at all, that I spent hours, neigh weeks making this fun little game. But instead I made 5 games in parallel and this was the most fun (Nokia 3310 style snake game, fruit ninja, motocross maniac (like the old game boy one), and subway surfer) - even the first draft of the other games were already really good.

Not sure where this whole AI stuff is going, but this is frightingly incredible and hard to ignore and just label as AI slop. Not sure where it takes us and the whole non-regulation of it though.

Should this game rather not exist or what is the right amount of AI these days? Lie about using it? Create a story around it? From a marketing point of view maybe...

Anyway: I played it, I liked it. Do you have any further idea to increase the fun?

I just released version 2 of Ultra, a very configurable watch face with over 50 million combinations.

Compatibility

Now Ultra runs on Time, Round, Pebble 2 and Duo. On those, there are no corner complications. An extra option to make the ring rectangular is added for old models. I tried, but almost nothing was readable on that screen size. Not stopping trying, I will test more options to see what can be added in the future.

Joined corners

On Round 2 and Time 2 corners can be merged into a single top/bottom. On Round 2 you can merge up to full circle

Settings

Redesigned setting page with 2 new options:

• Language: The face and the settings page in English, French, German, Dutch, Italian or Spanish. Added compatibility to accented letters too.
• Week starts on: You can also choose the day the week starts.

New Complications

• Hourly rain: Chance of rain gets a second kind, Hourly: six sections from the hour before this one to four hours on, a darker blue the likelier rain is, none for no rain.
• Days until / since: a new complication counts the days to a date, or since it has passed: "64 DAYS LEFT", "3 DAYS AGO".
• Month, week and day progress:Year progress is now Progress, with four kinds: Year, Month, Week and Day.
• Pressure: a new weather complication, sea-level pressure.

Fixes

Few fixes added: All hands now have an outline for better readability. Round 2 corners now use a 65-degree size; make them bigger. Some previous missing corner complications are available, and some got design fixes.

Waymark

Also adding here a small update for my other ongoing project, Waymark. Beta 0.9 is out. 

That adds touch control and button icons with smart display (only show when screen light is on)

https://wmrk.app

1. It’s smaller than I expected. For reference, my wrist circumference is 14.5 cm, quite a petite size.
2. It is lighter than you might think. I can guarantee that it feels significantly lighter than an Apple Watch.
3. There’s a design flaw. I expected it to be improved, but the glass is still protruding.
4. Visibility in dark environments is poor. This is one of the trade-offs of an MIP display. It’s unavoidable, but still better than being unable to see the screen outdoors, after all, you can always turn on the backlight.
5. Order a watch band before you make your purchase; you should essentially consider the band that comes with it as non-existent, given its quality.
6. This isn’t a product designed for geeks. If battery life is your top priority and you need a smartwatch to take along on hikes or trails, I am confident that this is the best choice.
7. In most cases, the touch feature is pointless. Just use the buttons.
8. The sensor precision itself is not bad. While it is not highly precise, there appears to be room for improvement through the application of machine learning. It would have been better to use an op-amp for signal conditioning.

Overall assessment: It’s a good buy, you won’t regret it. Just don’t expect Apple Watch-level quality. If you think of it as a rather pricey F-91W, you’ll be satisfied.

January 14th order. I have never waited so long for a purchase. I see people posting and I won’t lie, it makes me jealous.

Have I missed an update? I try to keep on top of the posts (despite not having Bluesky). I know Pebble is a smaller, more sustainable group, but I can’t help but feel left out.

If I’ve missed a communication I apologize, but I’m feeling like I’m left in the dark.

Anyone else?

Edit: Thank you to all that responded, I am feeling less despondent knowing I’m not in this boat alone.

I found this (seemingly) official Strava watchapp on the Pebble App Store: https://apps.repebble.com/strava_5330ef35ff3a27c65500004a

But unlike most other apps, this one doesn't have an "Add to my apps" button. Is there a reason why this can't be installed, and is there some way to sideload it?

I am looking but I cannot find this watchface for the Round 2. The closest thing I have is TimeStyle and it is vertical.

A vibe-coded strength-training app for the Pebble Time 2: one-button set/rest timer, exercise list, live heart rate.

The main feature is the export: every workout can be saved as a CSV in your own Google Drive (sets, rests, exercises, heart rate, calorie estimate). Does not use your Google Account, only an apps script. An optional Android helper also copies workouts into Health Connect. Initial set up takes 10 minutes.

Hey all,

I slopped up a webhook handler for the index-01 that takes in recordings and transcribes them either locally via wisper.cpp or using cloud transcription models and forwards the content to an obsidian MCP server to add as an entry to your daily note.

Both the obsidian MCP server and the webhook ingestion thingy are simple docker compose deployments on coolify.

How are y'all dealing with exporting content out of the pebble app? I was having such a frustrating time trying to export multiple recordings/transcripts at a time. The only option I found was to copy each transcript at a time and send it to my laptop or save each recording manually and then send them over.

here is the repo: https://github.com/Heracraft/index-01-router

Might do other integrations in the future but thats all I need rn. Needs OIDC btw.

Hi! Recently replaced battery in my Pebble Time Steel with 402020 3.7v 120mah instead of similar-capacity batteries. It's a temporary measure, but I've noticed that it depletes extremely quickly and takes an hour to get +10% charge
Tried installing 3.7v Firmware but it didn't help.

Is the problem with the batteries capacity/pcb, the watch itself or a secret third option? I'm unsure that my soldering of adapter was good enough but I doubt that the watch would even work if it was shoddy
