Description

Another try at a big number watch, this time with numbers loosely based on a stencil font. Only updates once a minute to maximize battery life.

Custom settings include screen background, date format, Bluetooth connectivity, battery usage, and vibrations.

Description

The time rotates to always remain upright based on the watch orientation.

The screen background, battery indicator, connection indicator, and vibration are customizable.

Unfortunately the accelerometer drains the battery a bit faster, but it sure is cool to see the watchface stay upright.

Description

This watch is an homage to the LED/LCD digital watches of 40 years ago. Numbers and sometimes characters were displayed based on a set series of bars.

The colons between the hours and minutes blink every second (just like in the old watches!). And the numbers are especially big so they can be seen at a glance.

There is a custom setting for inverting the screen, date format, battery indicator, connectivity, and vibrations.

Description

I just wanted to see BIG NUMBERS in my watch face so I would not have to squint to tell the time.

Both 12- and 24-hour formats are supported, and battery time is optimized since the screen is only updated once every minute.

This watchface is for Pebble OS 2 only. Customizable settings include background color, vibrations, connection, battery indicator.

Description

This app was suggested by my 11-year-old son, who wanted a tamagotchi-style robot. I created a sort of body physics engine and then a scripting language to animate the body parts.

The robot will animate every minute, or when the watch is tapped or shaken in any direction. There are about 40 animations (so far!).

Custom settings include screen background, date format, vibration alerts, and more. Settings can be customized through http://SetPebble.com or the new Pebble 2.0 configuration feature.

Description

Local Scape is a watchface that displays images from where you are. It requires httPebble or Pebble Connect to communicate with the Internet.

Your location is retrieved from your smart phone GPS. This location is then used to pull random images near your location from public Flickr galleries. These images are displayed on your Pebble at periodic intervals.

Customizable settings include the interval time, date format, vibration alerts, and whether you wish to see images appear progressively. The shortest refresh interval will use your watch battery more. To customize this watch, go to http://SetPebble.com

Sometimes the images are hard to understand due to the small black-and-white Pebble display - so consider it a challenge if you can identify where the photo was taken!

The White House image was one of the first images that appeared after I developed this app (guess what city I was visiting).

This app is experimental, and I don't know how scalable it is because of the server image-processing load. It also has heavy reliance on httPebble, which experiences timeouts and disconnects. Releasing this app is a bit risky - I hope my server can handle the traffic. Apologies in advance if the server is overwhelmed.

Thanks for Greg Dolecki for the app name.

Description

The Interval Trainer tracks elapsed time and interval times. You can set two intervals, which are repeated as time elapses. A vibration alerts you when an interval changes, and the numbers are BIG for easy reading while exercising.

The interval minutes and seconds are customizable, as are the vibration alerts, screen background. There is also an option for inverting the background only for odd intervals, so it is easy to see if you should be resting or walking.

The bottom button starts and stops the timer. The top button resets the timer (hold longer to reset while the timer is running). The middle button is used to activate the settings menu for customizing the interval times, screen, vibration, etc.

I tried to hook this app up to SetPebble.com custom settings, but this app runs into the memory limit restrictions of the Pebble. The app is set for customizable settings, including custom labels instead of the preset "RUN", "WALK", "REST" labels. If a newer PebbleOS supports more memory for apps, then I will enable these features through SetPebble.com.

Description

Big Timer is a countdown timer with vibration alerts as the timer approaches zero. Customizable settings can be set for starting minute and second, vibration alerts, screen background, and date format.

If httPebble or Pebble Connect are installed and active, then customizable settings can be entered and retrieved when Big Timer is launched. Go to http://SetPebble.com to set the customizable settings.

Educator Chris Conley suggested the idea for this app, and he uses this timer for student reading studies.

Description

Display your Flickr photos on your Pebble. If you have a Flickr account, enter your Pebble serial number on http://SetPebble.com and choose the Flickery app, and then enter your Flickr account name. Publicly-available images from your Flickr account will be shuffled every few minutes onto your Pebble watch (assuming your httPebble connection is working).

If you don't have a Flickr account, you will want one so you can put your favorite photos onto your Pebble. You can see test pictures if you enter "SetPebble" as the Flickr user on the custom settings screen.

The httPebble (iOS) or Pebble Connect (Android) app is required, and your smart phone will get a workout if set your your apps to update every minute. Frequent image updates will wear down your battery faster, but just throttle back the update interval to an hour and you can go days before recharging.

And I hope I am doing the right thing releasing this app, since I am unsure if my server can handle all the processing required if this app becomes popular. All I know is that I enjoy seeing my family pictures on my wrist - perhaps you will also.

Description

I had been wanting to do this watchface for a while, and finally spent the effort to compress weather forecast information down for the Pebble. Some of the icons are recycled from the Fair Weather watch, and the settings are customizable at http://SetPebble.com .

The current weather conditions are displayed at the top: wind speed and direction; humidity represented by a shaded water droplet; cloud icon shaded by estimated cloud coverage; current temperature. Below is the forecast for the next five days, including the current day. For each day there is a weather icon, the high temperature, and the low temperature. The status bar in between indicates the last update time and the city of the forecasted data.

If the forecast data seems wrong, please check with http://openweathermap.org first to see if the problem is the watchface or the original forecast data is incorrect.

The httPebble app is required, available through the App Store and Google Play. This app is so that the Pebble watch can communicate to the Internet. Note that some people reported issues of buffer overflow while using Pebbler which recently added httPebble support.

The settings for temperature, date format, screen, etc. can be set at http://SetPebble.com .

Description

This is a variant of the Fair Weather watch, and has a different display for wind, moon phase, and omits less-used metrics such as cloud cover. It tries to address the main drawback of small fonts used on the Fair Weather watch.

As with Fair Weather, httPebble is required, and there are customizations for units and display. See the httPebble online documentation if you have trouble connecting. (Note: some folks mention that Pebbler support for httPebble protocol produces buffer overflow issues.)

You can customize the units (temperature, wind, air pressure), date format, and screen background at http://SetPebble.com.

The weather conditions are from OpenWeatherMap.org; check that website first for accuracy if you experience incorrect weather readings.

Description

The symbols of the Predator species have been decoded and programmed into this watchface. This amusing watchface will certainly draw attention, and perhaps the only feature missing is the alien laughter as the countdown approaches zero..

Like the Predator invisibility cloaking device, the animations and frequent symbol changes draw down battery life.

The latest version is now customizable at http://SetPebble.com for an inverted (black-on-white) face.

Description

Voted best Pebble App of August 2013

This is a full weather station at your fingertips (or at least your wrist). The GPS from your smart phone finds the closest monitoring station from OpenWeatherMap.org and displays weather information. The weather data is processed and compressed because of limitations in the number of characters that can be sent.

Information includes sunrise, sunset, moon phase, air pressure, humidity, cloud coverage, wind direction & speed, temperature, and a short text summary and icon of the current conditions.

Oh, yeah, and this app also tells time. The smart phone app named httPebble is required, available for free on the App Store and Google Play. By default the time is only updated every minute, so this watchface is not a battery hog.

This latest version has customizable settings for fahrenheit/celsius, displaying settings, black-on-white display. However since I cannot use buttons for a Pebble watchface, these customizable settings are configured at http://SetPebble.com . Enter your Pebble serial number (found on the back of your watch), and make your selection. The settings are sent to your watch along with the weather data.

And I humbly appreciate all Pebblers that voted this watch app the best of August 2013 in the first ever contest! A heartfelt thank you to you all, and I pledge to keep pushing the limit of cool apps. If you want to see what is in the pipeline, head to http://SetPebble.com/roadmap .

Disclaimer:
- the watch uses the same App identifier as other apps that use the httPebble app; this is as per httPebble developer instructions;

This is a Tide and Weather Watch. The tidal information only works in the USA. It requires the app named "httPebble" (iOS) or "Pebble Connect" (Android) to access tide and weather information.

The closest tide monitoring and weather stations are selected by GPS, and updated periodically.

This version (1.4, 11/21/2013) works with Pebble firmware 1.13.

Description

Having trouble seeing those small numbers while exercising? Your problems are now solved! Try the Big Number Stopwatch and be able to check the elapsed time quickly.

The controls are super-simple: the bottom bottom for start/stop and the top button to reset the time. Pressing the middle button momentarily shows the current time. This app displays accurate elapsed time for hundreds of hours.

I wrote this app for myself and my poor eyesight, and hope others will also benefit. And the battery runs down faster - the watch konked out with a white screen after 4h20m during an ultra marathon I ran.
