Despite some recent job cuts, Pebble does not appear to be slowing down when it comes to releasing firmware updates for its Pebble line of smartwatches. The latest one comes after last month’s update which added an improved Pebble Health daily activity summary and super-sized emojis. Pebble Time Firmware 3.11 comes with new vibration options. It also improves a number of things including Pebble Health’s sleep tracking accuracy and on-watch interface and reminder snoozing.
Verizon customers will also now be able to use iOS Text Replies allowing for incoming iOS and Verizon Messages to be responded to with a voice note (Time-Series watches only), emoji, or custom text reply. The feature had previously only been available to AT&T customers.
Pebble also announced that it will rename its “Pebble Time” apps to “Pebble” to reflect the fact that they can support all Pebble smartwatches running Firmware 3.0 and up.
To update your Pebble smartwatch to Pebble Time Firmware 3.11, simply Select Menu > Support > Update Your Pebble within your Pebble Time app.
Here are the full change logs for the new firmware and apps:
