Pebble is back with its latest firmware for its Pebble line of smartwatches. Pebble Firmware 3.12 comes with two key new features: An update to Pebble Health and new text messaging options for iPhone users.
Time flies when you’re having fun. With summer around the bend, we’re excited to unleash the latest wave of goodies for your wrists.
With a Pebble Time smartwatch, Pebble Health is now able to track information that extends beyond daily step and sleep tracking. It is now able to auto-detect both long walks and runs and can provide activity summaries with detailed statistics for those activities on the mobile app.
The Android and iOS apps have been enhanced with a new Health section. The new tab provides a number of interactive graphs providing a more comprehensive overview of your activity and sleep data. It is also now easier to see how your last day, week or month of activity compares against your typical performance.
Another new feature is Smart Alarms. Designed to make it easier to wake up, light alarms will start going off when you’re in your lightest sleep, up to 30 minutes before your designated wakeup time.
A number of new notifications and summaries will also be sent directly to your watch. These include daily sleep and step summaries as well as notifications based on how well you’re performing compared to past results.
More Apple iPhone users will also now be able to take advantage of a canned messages to either start a new conversation from a Pebble Time smartwatch or respond quickly to incoming calls.
