Pebble adds new features to its entire smartwatch lineup

Pebble is giving its users something special ahead of the year-end festivities. With the latest Firmware 3.8 update, the new Pebble Time lineup is getting Pebble Health, a native fitness tracking feature developed with researchers at Stanford University. Before this, Pebble users would need to rely on third-party apps such as Jawbone Up and Misfit for their activity tracking needs.

The Health app is quite similar to the official Misfit app. It tracks the number of steps, your sleep duration and it even displays your progress across the week. The best part is that it integrates with Google Fit on Android and Apple HealthKit for iPhones. Overall, this should motivate you to achieve your goals whether it is to stay active or to sleep better.

At the moment, it is available only for Pebble Time, Pebble Time Steel and Pebble Time Round. The update should be available on your device immediately via the Pebble App.

For the older Pebble Classic series, they haven’t forgotten about you. The latest update also brings the new timeline feature that was first introduced with the Pebble Time. With this, you can view your past notifications and future appointments and weather update on a streamlined interface.

Below is the full changelog for the 3.8 update:
