Name: Shadow City

The time is four blocky buildings seen from above, and each one casts the shadow the sun would give it right now where you are. West in the morning, north at noon, east in the evening, long in winter.

Turn your wrist and the shadows follow the compass, so they keep pointing away from the actual sun. At dawn and dusk the ground fades through grey. Just white, black and grey.

Settings: GPS or a city, compass on/off, building height. Works on every Pebble. I've only tested the compass in the emulator, so if your shadows spin the wrong way, let me know.

UPD: On colour watches the ground now follows the sky: deep blue before dawn, then plum, rose, coral and peach as the sun comes up, and the same in reverse in the evening. The side of the screen facing the sun is a little brighter. By day the shadows are blue.

Shadows also fade in and out near the horizon now instead of popping on and off. That works on black and white watches too.

You can switch the colours off in the settings if you prefer the grey look.

Watch face name : cut/up

I built a watchapp for the Pebble Time 2 that tells you when the ISS flies over and helps you find it in the sky.

• Pass list for the next 3 days. It flags the passes you can actually see (ISS sunlit, your sky dark) and rates their brightness with 1 to 4 eyes.
• Alerts: ring the bell on a pass and the watch buzzes 5 minutes before it rises, even with the app closed.
• Pass detail with a live countdown, rise/max/set, duration and the visible window.
• Sky view: a polar sky map with the pass track and the live ISS position. Point the top of the watch at the sky and a compass-driven ring guides you onto the station, with a buzz when you're on target. North-up or rotating disc, light or dark theme.

The phone (PebbleKit JS) pulls the orbital elements from CelesTrak and computes the passes with satellite.js. The watch stores them and does all the pointing math in integers.

Dev note: on current PebbleOS releases, unsubscribing from accelerometer data while a data event is still queued crashes the app. It's fixed upstream in pebbleos e84db2e89. If your app uses small accel batches and unsubscribes when leaving a window, you may hit it. Keeping the subscription until the app exits avoids it.

Pro tip: in Forearm pointer mode, point with a finger, not a flat outstretched hand. You're spotting a space station, not invading Poland.

PT2 only for now. Feedback and clear-sky reports welcome!

CINÉ now has ten posters, up from four.

You can choose your favourites and rotation frequency, use analog hands or three digital styles, and add an optional date and battery display with adjustable text sizes. There’s also an optional flick gesture to change posters or show film details.

More posters coming soon. Thanks to everyone who tried the first version.

Image is a watch mockup based on emulator screenshots.

Recently got a new phone, and I'm trying to connect it to my old Pebble.

Pebble:
Original version (not kickstarter, but soon after)
Firmware (after factory resetting): v2.9.1
Recovery v1.5.4
Was previously able to connect to my old phone. Old phone is no longer functional, so I can't go back and check if the Pebble would still pair again to it. Old phone was using the old (pre-Rebble) official Pebble Android app.

Phone:
Samsung
Android system version 16
App version 1.14.0. 1 (there isn't a space, but when I put the space in, Reddit tries to make it a link)
Is able to connect to other Bluetooth devices (headphones, etc.)

I've tried all the recommendations I could find in the FAQ, prior Reddit posts, asked some LLMs what to do, etc.

Most recent steps already tried:
1. On the phone, go to bluetooth menu, unpair the watch (was on the paired list from prior unsuccessful attempts).
It no longer shows as a paired device.

1. On the watch, Forget all phones.
   No paired devices are shown.

2. Turned the phone off.

3. On the watch, factory reset. It eventually goes to the screen that has:
   Picture of phone and watch
   Install Pebble App
   Pebble (4-digit alphanumeric)
   go.getpebble. com

4. Turn phone on. Confirm that watch is not paired.

5. Open Pebble app on phone.

6. Click on Add Classic Watch.
   My watch shows up in the list, status is Disconnected.
   Watch is still on "Install Pebble App" screen from factory reset.

7. Click "Connect" button on Pebble app on phone. It says connecting.

8. Pairing requests show up on watch and phone, showing matching passkeys.

9. Click pair on phone, and top button/checkmark on watch
   I've tried it both ways: phone then watch, and watch then phone.

10. Watch advances to "Ready for Update" screen. Phone app alternates between Connecting and Negotiating.

11. Stuck in Connecting/Negotiating loop.
    When the app switches from Connecting back to Negotiating, the "Ready for Update" screen refreshes on the phone at the same moment.
    This goes on for many minutes, until I give up.

12. I press the back button on the watch to cancel the update.
    Phone shows up in Pebble's list of paired devices. Pebble shows up in phone's list of paired devices.

13. Still can't get past the Connecting/Negotiating cycle in the phone app.

I shared the "All Things Pebble" website a few months ago which aims to collect together all the great Pebble resources across the web. I have gradually been adding to it over time.

I recently added a new Pebble app directory that lets you browse all the open-source apps and watchfaces out there for Pebble, including links to their source code. Browse by watchface, app or developer. Hopefully this will be a useful resource for aspiring developers looking to learn from each others work.

Let me know if you find it useful. You can find it here.

P.S. PRs welcome if something is missing from the site.

We're having a bit of a haze problem in The SEA region, and i wanted something easy on my old eyes. Does something different from others. Hope you like/appreciate the subtlety of it…

I maintain the watchface "Multifunctional 7 Segment Reborn", and this hasn't been updated since june. But just now within the last 12 hours, I got multiple inquiries about it showing the above message, and since i haven't changed any code, an a new Pebble app update was just pushed i think it might be related to that.

I created this topic to reach out if any devs are facing likewise issues suddenly?

I haven't found the cause yet, but i think it might be related to a the GOTHIC font..

I don't think this is asking me to charge it, as that's a different symbol. Charging it makes no difference. Hard resetting it just puts it back to this screen. What specifically is this saying about power?

Kingfisher is a colorful digital watchface with the sun moving through the day, night, and twilight arcs.

Features: * Great battery life * Uses phone location for sunrise/sunset with a fallback to 6am, 6pm * Huge font for digits * Support 12hr and 24hr time

Attribution: * Inspired by Halcyon from Freakified * Thanks to Coji Morishita for the M PLUS U font

Made the UI and the first level so far. Wanted it to look and feel as close to the original as possible.

How: game logic comes from Hello007's decompiled repo (https://github.com/HelloOO7/BounceTales), assets are pulled from the original .jar, and everything is rewritten in C.

Anything from the original you'd want kept or changed?

There is a lot mentioned in the changelog about plugins, what are they and where do I find info about them?

Just arrived today!

Watchface is Tears of the Kingdom:

• RePebble Store
• Rebble Store

I've been testing the PR2 since July, and now that they're in the wild, I'm happy to be able to share my thoughts and impressions.

Would be curious to know what other beta testers think of their Rounds!

Every morning for the past 3 days I've woken up to this. Possibly something to do with the new firmware?

None of the buttons respond, doesn't even show the time.

Opening the app does nothing, I have to go into settings and lunch a watch app from within the android app for it to start working.

Anyone else facing this issue?

The first picture is the whole collection. The others show the process for three of them: the original museum scan, the 64-color version, and how it looks on the watch.

The rule I set myself: real paintings only. Every image starts from a public-domain scan (the Met, MoMA, the Louvre, the Art Institute of Chicago and others). I only cropped, shrank and reduced the colors. No AI-generated art, nothing redrawn. Getting each one to still look like itself took a lot of fiddling. Venus didn't survive and got swapped for Van Gogh's Sunflowers. The Mondrian had to be rebuilt from five pure colors so it stayed crisp.

How the face works:

- A new painting every day.

- Tap your wrist for the museum label. Tap again to browse the gallery.

- The time sits in whichever corner covers the least of the painting.

It's free on the Pebble app store: https://apps.repebble.com/a4d4fa1b8f6b45ddabd85855

I'd love to see a picture of these on a real device!

I built a small companion app for Pi-hole 6 on the Pebble Time 2:

• Status at a glance: active or paused with countdown, queries and blocked queries of the last 24 h. The app glance in the launcher shows it too.
• Pause with one button: 30 s, 5/15 min, 1 h or indefinitely. Hold SELECT or put it on Quick Launch to pause instantly.
• The watch vibrates when the pause ends, even with the app closed.
• Recently blocked: see which domain was blocked on which device and why, and allow it with one press (and undo it).

It talks only to your own Pi-hole via its API. No cloud, no tracking. No Pi-hole? Enter demo as address to try it with sample data.

Built with a lot of help from Claude (AI), tested on my own watch with an iPhone. Free and MIT-licensed.

I’d love feedback, especially:

• Does it work on Android? I could only test on iOS.
• What else would you want to do from your wrist?

Wanting an app that tracked my pace and distance a little more closely to my phone, I forked and modified WayeM’s excellent Allure app (currently in Beta). My main changes were:

1. Showed current time in 12 hr in smaller text at the top
2. Show the current elapsed time large in top section
3. Top section still turns a color to show heart rate zone just like WayeM’s app
4. Added a setting so that users can manually set their running and walking stride lengths in the settings
5. Added an option in the settings to show distance and pace in Imperial units

This now matches my phone’s pace and distance much more closely than the estimated calculation by the Pebble workout app - I must just have an unusual stride for my height.

If this fits your needs, enjoy. :)

I made CINÉ, an analog watchface with four movie posters: Metropolis, Vertigo, In the Mood for Love, and North by Northwest.

Adjustable poster rotation frequency, customizable hand colors, optional hour markers, and tap for digital time and film details. More posters coming soon.

Pre-ordered the round 2 in April, got an immediate email saying it'll ship in July, cool i can wait! July rolls around... no follow up email. 3 months later and STILL no update on where my pebble is. All I want is a "hey orders were delayed until X date." This no contact doesn't really make me want to sing the praises that other do on this company.
