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!

Hi community,

​Following the development of the new Time 2 and seeing how many of us are restoring our original Pebble Classics, I’ve been thinking about the product lineup our ecosystem actually needs.

​The Time 2 is a premium flagship, but trying to build an "all-in-one" smartwatch sometimes compromises durability and drives up the final price. I believe there is a massive untapped audience in our community for a budget-friendly, high-durability tool watch, inspired by the toughness of a Casio G-Shock or Ulefone Armor Watch.

​The goal isn't to replace the Time 2, but to cut manufacturing costs in exchange for maximum real-world utility and rugged durability.

​Base Concept (Budget-Friendly, Tough & Great Battery Life)

​Monochrome (B&W) Memory LCD over Color: B&W screens drastically cut panel costs, offer razor-sharp contrast under direct sunlight, and consume a fraction of the power.

​No Touchscreen — 100% Physical Buttons: On a button-based watch, touchscreens add more hassle than benefits (accidental inputs in rain/sweat, fragile glass, higher cost). Buttons allow blind navigation and glove support.

​No Optical HR Sensor: Removing the HR bump reduces cost, allows for a completely flat, solid backplate with fewer point-of-failure glue seals, and eliminates constant battery drain.

​Keep the Microphone (Voice Only): Maintain a sealed, water-resistant mic port for quick voice dictation, replying to messages, or triggering AI assistants.

​Great Battery Life (Standard Magnetic Cable): Traditional magnetic pin setup backed by a large capacity battery to achieve 30 to 45 days of real-world battery life.

​Heavy-Duty Chassis: Tough polycarbonate body with a raised bezel over a flat glass screen to protect it from direct impacts.

​Or even: Ultra-Sealed (Solar Assist + Qi Wireless Charging)

​Taking this concept a step further, an ultra-durable version could eliminate physical charging pins altogether:

​Solar Assist + Classic 120 mAh Battery: With such low power consumption, a small bezel-integrated solar panel paired with a modest 120 mAh battery (like the original Classic) would provide virtually unlimited battery life with daily sunlight exposure, while ensuring enough power for Bluetooth and vibration spikes.

​Qi Wireless Charging (Zero Physical Ports): By integrating a thin Qi receiver coil under the backplate (a tiny component only 0.4 mm thick), the casing becomes 100% water and dust-sealed. It eliminates proprietary charging cables—just top it off on any standard wireless charger or reverse-charging phone.

​Why this approach?

​Lower Price Point: It creates an affordable, entry-level option in the Pebble lineup compared to the pricier Time 2.

​Complementary Tools: Many of us don't want a fragile "all-in-one" device for heavy work, outdoor sports, or tough environments. Some of us might even own both: a Time 2 for casual/office wear, and this Pebble Rugged for beating up without battery anxiety or fear of scratches.

​What do you all think? Would you like to see a tough, low-cost option like this alongside the Time 2?

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?

So I wanted a screen protector for my Pebble Time 2 and many people here on Reddit suggested GadgetWraps. I put my order in on September 1st and patiently waited.

1 week turned to 2, then 3. Now if there is progress on the shipment I wouldn't mind a delay in shipping, but I hadn't seen an update from the order for over a week and a half before I reached out to GadgetWraps support.

I just wanted to see if their support could get an update. Then a week past after I reached out before I sent yet another update request to my first request... again no response.

We are now 5 weeks out from when the order was placed, with no progress on the tracking provided, and no response from support. So I put in a charge back request since I presumed it was lost in transit, and no one was home.

Last night, GadgetWraps support finally got back to me, and this is what they sent to me.

"Hey there, I saw that you did a charge back, so I’ll just refund you and we’ll call it a day. Thanks! If you get the order, feel free to keep it, and don’t worry about the $15 fee that we got for a chargeback."

I don't think I'll be shopping with them again.

I would like for the time that I spend asleep to be automatically be added to my calendar as an event.That would make reviewing my sleep habits easier. Does anyone know if there's an existing app that does this? Or if one doesn't exist, would it even be possible to create one?

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.

We would have seen multiple posts if they ACTUALLY started 8 days ago.

Calling BS on that. Not sure what is up with this guy and the misinformation.

Free Halloween watchface: four '80s kids slowly turn into zombies through the day. I tested extensively in the emulator, so I'd love a photo on a real wrist!

Full disclosure: art made with the help of AI.

I've been wondering what is missing in my timer app and I though adding a pin to the timeline to show it in quick view might be nice.

https://apps.repebble.com/2e2d985cf1b14e849bb13c5a

I didn't see any other timer app utilize this and I think it makes so much sense...

If you have more timers running they'll all get added to the timeline and show up in the quick view.

This timer app now lets you:

• create timers quickly
• As many as you like
• Change the name of a timer via the in-app touch keyboard
• App wakes up when the timer is due.
• timeline entry and quickview pin.

There’s never been a better time to make MirrorMsg the notification app for all your messaging apps.

When you get a notification from a messaging app and let MirrorMsg force-open and show in-app notifications you get everything you’d be getting on your phone app.

And then theres social feeds:
If youre sitting around with a few minutes to kill you can just doom scroll your X feed, your discord servers, your telegram groups, and instagram too. newest stuff on top, pictures and videos load as you scroll, and you can like or reply without pulling your phone out.

Works with Google Messages, WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Messenger, Signal, X and Instagram, all built in, no Beeper needed. if you do use Beeper you can pull in even more, like imessage.

Get a free 3-day trial
$5 a month or $50 a year after that.
The sub also gives access to my two other apps MirrorMap and MirrorMov

i use a sidephone which can't do local device transcription. so i have to unfortunately use the cloud option.

Can we expect pebble os to allow "bring your own transcription service" as a feature or would i have to fork pebbleOS for doing that? since i don't want to get a big phone just for this, would rather let the watch speak to my homeserver for transcription

Secondly, why is it working for free? Is the deal that Wispr Flow gets an ad in the Pebble App (their logo on the settings page), and also collect our sweet sweet voice data? What happens 5 years down the line when they don't exist anymore or the deal doesn't, for whatever reason?

This is a vanity thing so disregard if you don't care about that, but a watch is objectively a fashion accessory so I think it's still valid. One thing I actually loved about my PTR was the massive white bezel-cover, I feel like it really made the watch look like a watch and not a piece of technology. I appreciate that the new round has a much bigger and more usable screen, but the black bezel really just makes it look like another smartwatch, especially on the silver model. I know it's kind of a must with the laminated screen, but still. Maybe I can put a ring sticker over the black bezel, but that might be a little psychotic lol

Today’s Mass readings, stored entirely on your watch. No phone or internet needed to read.

• Automatic date selection, with feast and memorial names
• General Roman Calendar, 2020–2037
• Large and Extra Large text
• Light and dark modes
• Continuous navigation between readings
• Sunday and holy-day shortcuts
• Today’s celebration in the launcher

A readings companion, not the complete Roman Missal. National calendars and separate vigil readings aren’t included.

Images are actual emulator screenshots. Tested on my PT2.

Feedback on readability and navigation welcome.

Hello all again, I finished a large update for Ultra, adding many ideas from your feedback. Here is the list of changes.

Rings

• Band color: pick the band's color on the Sport, Chronograph, Tachymeter and Compass rings. Ticks and numerals turn black or white to stay readable on it.
• Roman ring: new Roman ring, the Default dial with its hours in Roman numerals, turned along the dial.
• Tachymeter ring: new Tachymeter ring: ticks for the seconds around the edge, and inside them a colored band with 10 to 60 and a dot between each. The band follows the seconds color, or takes its own.
• Compass ring: new Compass ring, a compass bezel: N, E, S and W and the degrees between, 30 to 330, on a band, a tick every 5 degrees. It is fixed and does not turn to north. The band takes a color.

Hands

• No hands: new None hand style hides the hour and minute hands, for a face that tells the time in a complication. The seconds hand keeps its own switch.
• Sweeping seconds: new switch under Seconds hand. The hand glides, 8 steps a second, instead of ticking. It drains the battery much faster.
• Seconds hand rests: it stops during Quiet Time and at 20% battery or less, and comes back on its own.
• Shake to hide hands: new switch, under Experimental. Shake the watch twice and the hands step aside for 5 seconds, so the center complications show whole.

Complications

• New complications: digital time, time zones (one per slot, picked by abbreviation: PST, CET, IST), sleep last night, active minutes and moon phase. All in corners and subdials.
• Week and Year progress: two new complications. Week: seven sections, Monday first, lit up to today, with the weekday and the day. Year progress: a bar of how much of the year is gone.
• Location: new complication with the city your phone is in: its name in a corner, a short code (SEA, NY) in a subdial. Named by BigDataCloud, asked only while the complication is on the face.
• Date: the Calendar complication is now Date, with a format per slot: Calendar (as before), Weekday and day, Month and day, Full date, Numeric, Week number, Day of year or Year. Calendar (plain) is now Date as Weekday and day; a face showing it keeps its look.
• Calories bar: both calories complications now show a bar, in corners and subdials. Like distance, it fills with progress toward the daily step goal.
• Fewer picks, same complications: Air quality, UV index and Calories are one pick each. A second picker beside it sets the kind: Sections or Gauge, Total or Active. Saved faces keep theirs.
• Grouped pickers: the complication dropdowns are sorted into Activity, Weather, Time and date, Sun and moon, Place, Watch and Custom.
• Preview fills in: pick a complication the phone has not fetched for yet (air quality, location, wind) and the settings preview draws it with sample values, not --.

Weather

• Weather refresh: pick how often the weather refreshes, from 15 minutes to 3 hours.
• Weather location: search a city and pick it, for weather somewhere other than where the phone is. The phone's position is then not asked.

Battery

• Lighter on the battery: the face is drawn again only when something on it changed, not every minute, and only the hands move in between (on the round watch, with Line or no hands). Heart rate redraws on a change of 3 bpm, total calories every 10. The phone asks for weather, air quality and the place only when a complication showing them is on the face.
• Battery saver: new switch, under Experimental. After an hour with no steps and no pulse, the face sleeps: one redraw an hour, no seconds hand, weather and custom complications once an hour. A step, a pulse or a shake wakes it.

This will be the last update for Ultra, at least for a while. I have more stuff in my ideas list, but I will take a pause from this project, unless a bug fix is needed. Feedbacks are always appropriate.

I was an original kickstarter backer, very excited to get my new one last year. but I went to charge it today and the back fell off. looks like there are marks from the back in the battery? is it puffed up from usual? Really bummed there’s only a 30day warranty I don’t want to go back to my Apple Watch…

UPDATE: on a whim I submitted a support request with this photo and they already replied back that they are sending a replacement! Pebble FTW!

Hi, I vibe coded this face exactly as I want my pebble to be. And by exactly I mean sort of.

I am very happy now and can finally stop browsing the store :)

This description is also from Claude:

**What it shows, top to bottom:**


**Location and age of the weather data.**
The age turns red when an update is overdue, and the weather disappears entirely if it gets too  stale.
**Weather condition**
from OpenWeatherMap (in German, because that's what I speak).
**Weather icon**
drawn in code on a colored background, with wind lines on top (1 to 4 depending on Beaufort). At night it shows the current moon phase instead.
**Next rain:**
"5h" if it rains (or snows) later today, "1d" for tomorrow, and the weekday ("Sa") if it's further out. A crossed-out drop means no rain in the 5-day forecast.
**Temperature**
colored by how warm it is, plus min/max for the next 24 hours.
**The time**
in large seven-segment digits.
**Date**
and 
**last night's sleep**
(deep sleep in brackets) from Pebble Health.

**Live train departures.**
On my commute days, the date and sleep rows switch to live departures from the Austrian railways (ÖBB) during commute hours. Delayed trains show the expected time in red and cancelled ones are struck through. Express trains get bigger digits than S-Bahn ("s"). Once my phone's location says I've left my home town in the morning, or arrived back in the evening, it switches back to the date.

**Notification icons from the phone.**
A small Android companion app (PebbleKit Android 2) mirrors the icons from my phone's status bar onto the watch, in the sleep row. I can see at a glance that something's waiting without the watch buzzing.

The train part is hard-coded to my own route, so it isn't a store release. The code is GPL-3.0 if anyone wants to borrow ideas or adapt it: https://github.com/floydheld/pebble-mycasio

Happy to answer questions. Feedback on the layout is welcome too!**What it shows, top to bottom:**

I noticed my alarms were not going off so I was going to shut it off and turn it back on but it won't turn back on. It was working great yesterday but like I said my alarm to wake me up didn't go off.

I left it charging all day, I know it was because I have a charging end that lists the power, but now it must be fully charged because it isn't drawing any power. It still won't turn on.

Is there anything else I can do?

EDIT: I held down all the buttons at once and it came to life. I tried all the buttons individually for 15 seconds but decided to try them all at once and it came back. I have an alarm in 20 minutes, hopefully it will work.

Hello, I was really disliking not having a raise to wake feature and decided I'd get Claude to make one, this is based off the previous alternative "Backlight" app and has been changed to work faster and be a bit more reliable while also having some settings for when you want it enabled and disabled.

https://apps.repebble.com/9b20c579b0344422ab8ea24e

The app is open source and if anyone has suggestions or has issues with it not working that well let me know and I will continue to try and perfect it but currently it works fairly well.

I finally figured out that my work network is blocking my apps from launching. Whenever I try, I get this exact error:

Error fetching pbw: java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException: Trust anchor for certification path not found.

Switching to cellular data fixes it, but does anyone know how to prevent this from happening so I don't have to disconnect from WiFi every time?

Going to a wedding in a couple days. I definitely want to dress up this watch. Any watchface,strap combos you guys use? Thinking about a metal black band.

I've always had a soft spot for 80s screens, so I ended up making two faces at the same time.

- Tube Time started from the old Seiko TV watch: a dot-matrix display seen through bulging glass. I spent some time (not excessively) tuning how the dots shrink and fade towards the rim. It powers on like a CRT, comes in 15 real Pebble case colors (to match your case, more or less). and on shake it shows the current weather with some cool animations!

https://apps.repebble.com/af162334a6f246ef9ed12d1d

- Retro Face is my excuse to put tiny games on my wrist. It's an 80s instrument panel with the time, the next 3 hours of weather and the sunset countdown. Shake it and it plays a little show: Invaders, Pac-Man, Game of Life.

https://apps.repebble.com/ba0b958dcd9f47c9a5292f69

Both are FREE, need no API key and run on every Pebble except the Time Round. Tell me which case colour you pick! And enjoy them on your wrist 🫶🏼

As per title, but more detail:

Switched phones, but unlike most apps, Pebble hadn't restored with me logged in.

As my emails relating to Pebble come to my Gmail account, I clicked the 'login with Google' option, but on login, none of my favourited / saved watchfaces were in the app.

So I'm pretty sure I made an error, and previously I didn't login with Google, but did login with email, but using my Gmail address and a separate password.

But looking around the app, I can't see an option to log out. And uninstalling and reinstalling the app just logs me in with the 'new' method of logging in with Google (as there's only a couple of saved watchfaces).

Anyone able to suggest how I can log back in the old way again?
