Following last week’s price cut on its smartwatches, Pebble yesterday unveiled the latest firmware for its Pebble smartwatches. While many will consider the update relatively small, Pebble does not quite see it the same way. It comes with two key changes: An improved Pebble Health daily activity summary and super-sized emojis.
The new firmware super-sizes its top 12 watch emoji. Anytime someone sends you a single one of these, its giant version (a Jumboji as Pebble proposes to call them) will fill your watch face.
Along with the firmware update, Pebble has also given its Pebble Time app for iPhone a new updated look, “laying the groundwork for cool new features to come.” Core controls for Watchfaces, Apps, and Notifications are now easier to access with other options now available in a tappable menu at the top right. Pebble has also added the notification filtering feature that Android already has, allowing you to select which apps will send notifications to your Pebble.
The Android app update is not as significant but does add in-app language support now includes English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish (as does the iOS version). It also improves the Send Text app based on user feedback.
To update your Pebble smartwatch to Pebble Firmware 3.10, simply Select Menu > Support > Update Your Pebble within your Pebble Time app.
Here are the full change logs for the new firmware and apps:
