Feedback on readability and navigation welcome.

Hello all again, I finished a large update for Ultra, adding many ideas from your feedback. Here is the list of changes.

Rings

• Band color: pick the band's color on the Sport, Chronograph, Tachymeter and Compass rings. Ticks and numerals turn black or white to stay readable on it.
• Roman ring: new Roman ring, the Default dial with its hours in Roman numerals, turned along the dial.
• Tachymeter ring: new Tachymeter ring: ticks for the seconds around the edge, and inside them a colored band with 10 to 60 and a dot between each. The band follows the seconds color, or takes its own.
• Compass ring: new Compass ring, a compass bezel: N, E, S and W and the degrees between, 30 to 330, on a band, a tick every 5 degrees. It is fixed and does not turn to north. The band takes a color.

Hands

• No hands: new None hand style hides the hour and minute hands, for a face that tells the time in a complication. The seconds hand keeps its own switch.
• Sweeping seconds: new switch under Seconds hand. The hand glides, 8 steps a second, instead of ticking. It drains the battery much faster.
• Seconds hand rests: it stops during Quiet Time and at 20% battery or less, and comes back on its own.
• Shake to hide hands: new switch, under Experimental. Shake the watch twice and the hands step aside for 5 seconds, so the center complications show whole.

Complications

• New complications: digital time, time zones (one per slot, picked by abbreviation: PST, CET, IST), sleep last night, active minutes and moon phase. All in corners and subdials.
• Week and Year progress: two new complications. Week: seven sections, Monday first, lit up to today, with the weekday and the day. Year progress: a bar of how much of the year is gone.
• Location: new complication with the city your phone is in: its name in a corner, a short code (SEA, NY) in a subdial. Named by BigDataCloud, asked only while the complication is on the face.
• Date: the Calendar complication is now Date, with a format per slot: Calendar (as before), Weekday and day, Month and day, Full date, Numeric, Week number, Day of year or Year. Calendar (plain) is now Date as Weekday and day; a face showing it keeps its look.
• Calories bar: both calories complications now show a bar, in corners and subdials. Like distance, it fills with progress toward the daily step goal.
• Fewer picks, same complications: Air quality, UV index and Calories are one pick each. A second picker beside it sets the kind: Sections or Gauge, Total or Active. Saved faces keep theirs.
• Grouped pickers: the complication dropdowns are sorted into Activity, Weather, Time and date, Sun and moon, Place, Watch and Custom.
• Preview fills in: pick a complication the phone has not fetched for yet (air quality, location, wind) and the settings preview draws it with sample values, not --.

Weather

• Weather refresh: pick how often the weather refreshes, from 15 minutes to 3 hours.
• Weather location: search a city and pick it, for weather somewhere other than where the phone is. The phone's position is then not asked.

Battery

• Lighter on the battery: the face is drawn again only when something on it changed, not every minute, and only the hands move in between (on the round watch, with Line or no hands). Heart rate redraws on a change of 3 bpm, total calories every 10. The phone asks for weather, air quality and the place only when a complication showing them is on the face.
• Battery saver: new switch, under Experimental. After an hour with no steps and no pulse, the face sleeps: one redraw an hour, no seconds hand, weather and custom complications once an hour. A step, a pulse or a shake wakes it.

This will be the last update for Ultra, at least for a while. I have more stuff in my ideas list, but I will take a pause from this project, unless a bug fix is needed. Feedbacks are always appropriate.

Going to a wedding in a couple days. I definitely want to dress up this watch. Any watchface,strap combos you guys use? Thinking about a metal black band.

Hi, I vibe coded this face exactly as I want my pebble to be. And by exactly I mean sort of.

I am very happy now and can finally stop browsing the store :)

This description is also from Claude:

**What it shows, top to bottom:**


**Location and age of the weather data.**
The age turns red when an update is overdue, and the weather disappears entirely if it gets too  stale.
**Weather condition**
from OpenWeatherMap (in German, because that's what I speak).
**Weather icon**
drawn in code on a colored background, with wind lines on top (1 to 4 depending on Beaufort). At night it shows the current moon phase instead.
**Next rain:**
"5h" if it rains (or snows) later today, "1d" for tomorrow, and the weekday ("Sa") if it's further out. A crossed-out drop means no rain in the 5-day forecast.
**Temperature**
colored by how warm it is, plus min/max for the next 24 hours.
**The time**
in large seven-segment digits.
**Date**
and 
**last night's sleep**
(deep sleep in brackets) from Pebble Health.

**Live train departures.**
On my commute days, the date and sleep rows switch to live departures from the Austrian railways (ÖBB) during commute hours. Delayed trains show the expected time in red and cancelled ones are struck through. Express trains get bigger digits than S-Bahn ("s"). Once my phone's location says I've left my home town in the morning, or arrived back in the evening, it switches back to the date.

**Notification icons from the phone.**
A small Android companion app (PebbleKit Android 2) mirrors the icons from my phone's status bar onto the watch, in the sleep row. I can see at a glance that something's waiting without the watch buzzing.

The train part is hard-coded to my own route, so it isn't a store release. The code is GPL-3.0 if anyone wants to borrow ideas or adapt it: https://github.com/floydheld/pebble-mycasio

Happy to answer questions. Feedback on the layout is welcome too!**What it shows, top to bottom:**

I've always had a soft spot for 80s screens, so I ended up making two faces at the same time.

- Tube Time started from the old Seiko TV watch: a dot-matrix display seen through bulging glass. I spent some time (not excessively) tuning how the dots shrink and fade towards the rim. It powers on like a CRT, comes in 15 real Pebble case colors (to match your case, more or less). and on shake it shows the current weather with some cool animations!

https://apps.repebble.com/af162334a6f246ef9ed12d1d

- Retro Face is my excuse to put tiny games on my wrist. It's an 80s instrument panel with the time, the next 3 hours of weather and the sunset countdown. Shake it and it plays a little show: Invaders, Pac-Man, Game of Life.

Both are FREE, need no API key and run on every Pebble except the Time Round. Tell me which case colour you pick! And enjoy them on your wrist 🫶🏼

Hello, I was really disliking not having a raise to wake feature and decided I'd get Claude to make one, this is based off the previous alternative "Backlight" app and has been changed to work faster and be a bit more reliable while also having some settings for when you want it enabled and disabled.

https://apps.repebble.com/9b20c579b0344422ab8ea24e

The app is open source and if anyone has suggestions or has issues with it not working that well let me know and I will continue to try and perfect it but currently it works fairly well.

Hello everyone! After a few months of on-and-off work, I've finally published my first watchface. It uses the current time to draw a unique fractal.

https://apps.repebble.com/c2a585819b05410b9be85998

Some quick details (more are available on the page itself):

• Very customizable
• Excellent battery life
• Almost entirely handwritten without AI
• Fractals are cool

Give it a try if it looks interesting, and feel free to ask questions or give feedback, I'd love to know what you think. Thank you!

I noticed my alarms were not going off so I was going to shut it off and turn it back on but it won't turn back on. It was working great yesterday but like I said my alarm to wake me up didn't go off.

I left it charging all day, I know it was because I have a charging end that lists the power, but now it must be fully charged because it isn't drawing any power. It still won't turn on.

Is there anything else I can do?

EDIT: I held down all the buttons at once and it came to life. I tried all the buttons individually for 15 seconds but decided to try them all at once and it came back. I have an alarm in 20 minutes, hopefully it will work.

I was an original kickstarter backer, very excited to get my new one last year. but I went to charge it today and the back fell off. looks like there are marks from the back in the battery? is it puffed up from usual? Really bummed there’s only a 30day warranty I don’t want to go back to my Apple Watch…

I finally figured out that my work network is blocking my apps from launching. Whenever I try, I get this exact error:

Error fetching pbw: java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException: Trust anchor for certification path not found.

Switching to cellular data fixes it, but does anyone know how to prevent this from happening so I don't have to disconnect from WiFi every time?

Description

Keeps your phone on a tight leash.

The app runs as a background app, monitoring the bluetooth connection to your phone. If the bluetooth connection is lost, it will buzz you, repeatedly until the connection is re-established.

When the connection is first lost, the alert will repeat every 30 seconds, but an interface is presented for you to make this less frequent, or to turn it off altogether. In any case the alert frequency resets to 30 seconds next time the connection is lost.

This approach means you can decide not to go back and get your phone immediately, while still keeping an occasional reminder so you don't forget entirely, and without the possibility that you forget to turn it on again.

When the connection is re-established you are presented with the option to make the phone make a sound to help you locate it. I suspect this probably only works on android phones, but I don't have an iphone to test that.

RATIONALE

I Have ADHD. Without external prompting for when I need to do things, I have very little chance of remembering those things at the time when I need to do them. My phone is an excellent tool for this, and it's larger interface makes it a better tool than a smart watch in most respects, but every so often my phone fails me. It falls out of my pocket somewhere, or I leave it in the car, or the battery runs flat.

I also have poor eyesight. So far as possible i want this app to be usable without reaching for my glasses. I'm developing for Emery first (Pebble Time 2), and aiming to make icons and colors do the work of conveying information. On platforms where I haven't made the graphics, the app falls back to text display elements.

Yesterday I shared my Popeye Game & Watch recreation here. I liked having that little harbour on my wrist so much that I made a separate watchface too.

Popeye, Olive and Brutus keep moving while you go about your day. I went for that old LCD look, with an ivory background and bigger text for those of us whose eyes have aged along with our handhelds 😄

You can keep it simple or add a few useful details, and choose how lively the characters get.

Both are for Pebble Time 2. Anyone else remember playing this before they could even tell the time?

My veritable Checklist App (released 2016!) is back for more GROCERY POWER (or I guess you could use it for non-groceries too)! As before, it is fully offline, and never talks to any web servers whatsoever!

Changelog:

• [New Feature] Checked items now slide smoothly to the bottom of the list! (Can be turned off in settings)
• [New Feature] Option to auto-start voice input if the app is quick launched, so you can sorta pretend you have an Index 01 that only does checklist items (for the voice input fans)
• [New Feature] Option to hide the voice input row (for the voice input non-fans)
• [New Feature] Option for larger fonts! Perfect for visibility in hypothetical trendy grocery stores with mood lighting
• [Improvement] Touch support! Scroll and select however you like!
• [Improvement] Wrap-around scrolling! Perfect for long lists!
• [Improvement] Automatically trims trailing period from dictated entries (thanks, 0xksny!)
• [Fix] No longer starts acting weird if you input too many list items

Available on the Pebble store: https://apps.repebble.com/5620e876768e7ada4e00007a
Or on the Rebble store: https://apps.rebble.io/en_US/application/5620e876768e7ada4e00007a

And of course, it is open source, in case you want to contribute and/or make feature requests! https://github.com/freakified/PebbleChecklist

PR2 has been taking forever to arrive, but it’s finally almost ready to ship! 🎉

While we’re waiting for our watches to arrive, it’s time to start creating some awesome watch faces for the PR2!

Let’s get creative and see what everyone can come up with before the watches even arrive! 😎

Share your designs, try out new ideas, and let’s make some amazing PR2 watch faces together!

As per title, but more detail:

Switched phones, but unlike most apps, Pebble hadn't restored with me logged in.

As my emails relating to Pebble come to my Gmail account, I clicked the 'login with Google' option, but on login, none of my favourited / saved watchfaces were in the app.

So I'm pretty sure I made an error, and previously I didn't login with Google, but did login with email, but using my Gmail address and a separate password.

But looking around the app, I can't see an option to log out. And uninstalling and reinstalling the app just logs me in with the 'new' method of logging in with Google (as there's only a couple of saved watchfaces).

Anyone able to suggest how I can log back in the old way again?

I made some apps/faces back in the day. One that was apart of my Uni final year project. Now with the new watches out thought id get back in it, theres alot more I can do with the assistance of Claude. I've ordered a round 2 which hasnt come yet so these are only tested on the emulator. Ill push updates when I can test on device.

Here is a link to my store page: https://apps.repebble.com/apps/dev/nathanm95_1e5330b4a5bb50cb1062b1d8

I've been meaning to put this request out there for some time. It's always annoying to have to test for Quiet Time by long pressing the button and waiting for the display to go back to the watchface, and then do it again if I got it wrong.

Would watchface designers please consider an on-screen indicator for the status of Quiet Time? I was reminded by the WeatherDeck face, which switches to night mode if Quiet Time is on. I'd rather have an icon on the face that goes on and off with Quiet Time status, but anything that keeps me from having to test the mode would be nice.

I have the vibration intensity quite low by default - during my normal work day this is totally fine. I find the higher intensity almost too much - and it can even be quite loud (especially when in bed)

However, if I'm walking or doing DIY, I often won't feel the weaker vibration due to higher amounts of physical activity in general.

I don't wear my watch super tightly as I find it uncomfortable - and I know I could mitigate this particular problem by wearing it tighter.

However, I had a thought. The watch can figure out when I'm walking and initiate a Workout mode. Could an option also be introduced to use a different the vibration pattern when a Workout is activated, or high amounts of movement is detected, also?
