Pebble Features
Pebble is a customizable watch that conveniently and subtly delivers the information that you want directly to your wrist.
One of the best features about Pebble is the ability to personalize it. Watchfaces can be found within the appstore on your Pebble mobile app or you can visit 3rd party sharing websites on your phone to download from there.
You can easily download and sly and subtly delivers the information that you want directly to your wrist. Some of the most popular features include:
Watchfaces
Scroll through up to 8 stored watchfaces.
To learn how to find or create your own watchfaces, see below.

Music Controller
Select the Music controller from main menu to control music playing on your smartphone. Currently, Pebble can control the default music app and Google music on Android, and Pandora, Spotify and any other music app that implements default music controls on iOS.
Once inside the app, if you press and hold the select button for one second, the ability to skip tracks using the up and down buttons will change to volume control.
Phone Call Notifications
Pebble vibrates when you receive an incoming call and displays number if you have caller-ID. If the caller is in your address book, Pebble will display the name instead.
On iOS, you can accept (Up button), reject (Down button), or dismiss the notification (Back button).
On Android, you can silence the call (Down button) or dismiss the notification (Back button).
Pebble does not have a speaker, so the call will be accepted on the handset, Bluetooth headset, or car kit.
Message Notifications
Receive SMS, iMessage, email, and compatible social media messages right to your wrist. If the content of the message is more than can be displayed at once on the Pebble screen, you can scroll through the message using the Up and Down buttons.
If multiple messages come in short succession, they will be stacked so that you can easily scroll through them. And if you miss a message or want to review past messages, they can be viewed from the main menu on Pebble by selecting Notifications.
To exit the app or dismiss the message, press the Back button.
Health and Fitness Tracking
Get all of the important information about your workout conveniently displayed on your Pebble. Whether you want to know the distance to the green, the lap time for your swim, the distance you've run, or your next yoga position, you can find the watchapp you need in the Health & Fitness section of our appstore.

Companion apps
Some apps for Pebble require an additional download of a companion app from the Google Play Store or iTunes App Store to function properly. In some cases, such as the FreeCaddie and RunKeeper apps mentioned above, you won't need to download a watchapp for Pebble at all; simply download the companion app on your phone and it will work seamlessly with Pebble.
If a watchapp you find in the Pebble appstore requires a companion app to work, we will link you directly to the external download.
