Pebble Smart Watch Updates Bring Double-Click Notification Skipping And More Tweaks

July 1, 2014
Pebble has just issued a couple of updates to the firmware and iOS companion app of its namesake smart watch. The latest Pebble firmware, which is designated as version 2.3, brings improved Bluetooth LE connectivity and some stability improvements. Most notably, it introduces double-click notification skipping. After updating to Pebble firmware 2.3, you can double-click to quickly skip to the next notification if the currently displayed one requires scrolling to see all of its content, as demoed in the video below. Otherwise, a simple and single click is enough to proceed to the next notification. If you can't see the video embedded above, please click here. As for the latest update to Pebble Smartwatch for iOS, which brings the companion app to version 2.2.2, it's a decidedly minor update. But it does make more JavaScript apps to be available in the Pebble appstore. In this latest bundle, Pebble apps are fully downloadable and no longer labeled as "Coming Soon." To update your Pebble firmware, open the Pebble app on your iOS device while connected to your Pebble. The newly updated Pebble Smartwatch app is available on the App Store for free. It’s optimized for iPhone and iPod touch running iOS 6.0 or later. Both Pebble firmware and companion app were updated earlier this month with support for music volume control and other improvements. The Pebble smart watch is available in two models. The original version is available for $150 while the upgraded Pebble Steel costs $249. Both models can be ordered from Pebble’s official website.
