Pebble this week announced the release of its latest firmware. Not only does firmware version 3.8 bring Pebble Time’s 3.0 operating system to the original Pebble and Pebble Steel but it also introduces Pebble Health for the newer Pebble Time smartwatches.
Pebble Health is a fully native activity tracking experience. Developed in collaboration with Stanford University, it tracks step count and sleep activity on a daily basis. Integrated with Pebble’s Timeline, stats and progress are conveniently glanceable and easily accessible.
Wake up to a timeline pin reviewing how much you slept. Wrap up the day with a report of your step count. Getting started with Pebble Health is a breeze.
Unlike other trackers that allow you to set goals, Pebble Health measures your daily progress against your own personal average. Weekly graphs of both step and sleep stats provide a longer view and allow you to see how your progress is trending.
Pebble Health is also compatible with Fully compatible with Google Fit and Apple HealthKit.
To update your Pebble Time to the latest firmware, simply Select Menu > Support > Update Your Pebble within your Pebble Time app.
