Features to try:

  • Timeline: press Down from the watchface to travel through your day: past and upcoming calendar events, weather, reminders, and pins that apps add. It's the fastest "what's next?" glance on any smartwatch, and it's been a signature Pebble feature since 2015.

  • Quick launch: hold a side button to jump straight to a favourite app.

  • Battery Saver backlight: Settings → Display → Backlight. Try "hypermiling" your Pebble watch: a low-animation watchface plus Battery Saver stretches battery life dramatically (30+ days).

  • New features for 2026: Pebble Pillage (touch), Pebblemon (touch), Guitar Pitch (speaker), or Chinese Toy Phone (RGB backlight),

  • Shake to backlight: flick your wrist for light.

  • Health: enable heart rate, step, and sleep tracking in the Pebble app.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I fix (almost) any problem? Hard reset your Pebble

Use this as a last resort if nothing else fixes the problem.

  1. Hold left button + top right + center right buttons (all together) for 30 seconds or until your watch displays a progress bar

  2. On your phone, go to the iOS or Android system Bluetooth menu, and forget all Pebble watches. Be sure to Forget your watch in the Pebble app as well. Restart your phone.

  3. In the Pebble app, go to Devices, then click the + button to pair your watch

I'm not getting any vibration for notifications

You've most likely turned on Quiet Time, maybe by accident; holding the Back button for about two seconds from any watch face toggles it by default (this is called a Quick Launch shortcut). The easiest way to tell if you have Quiet Time turned on is the top left corner of all notifications will have a silenced speaker icon.

Android shows a permanent "Keeping Pebble connection alive" notification

That's the foreground service Android requires to hold a persistent Bluetooth connection. Just set it to silent notification and ignore it.

I’m not getting notifications from my iPhone

Go to iPhone settings → notifications → for each app, change Show Previews from "Never" to either of the other two choices.

Raising my wrist doesn't activate the backlight

The backlight is activated by a "flick" of the wrist, not a raise.

My watch isn't connected in the Pebble app but still receives notifications. I have an iPhone.

If your watch is still connected in your bluetooth device list in your iPhone Settings, it will continue to receive notifications even when not "connected in the app.
