Just got my Steel Pebble and installed the Weather Channel watch face. If I can see the weather on my wrist that's all I care about.

What can I use to track my sleep if I have an Android phone? I see Misfit only exports to an iOS app, is it any good just looking at data on the watch?

I have a Nexus 5 with Lollipop and had no problems getting my Pebble Steel to work.

I dig my steel. Microphone is pretty pointless but the other features are cool I guess.


Not going to lie I really like my steel because it looks like a normal sleek watch and not some obnoxious smart watch. The new one is going towards the latter imo

Yeah the reason I grabbed the Pebble Steel is because I saw a picture of it in an ad or something on Facebook and said "I want that on my wrist" before I even saw what it was. The fact that the weather is on my wrist is just like a bonus.

Had my Pebble Steal (non-color) at a party, a couple of people asked if it was an Apple Watch, we all decided to call it the Blackberry of smart watches.

Ever since I switched to a Nexus 5X my Pebble Steel hasn't been able to stay paired with my phone for more than a minute or so.

I'm not ready to rule out my phone being the cause, but is there any way to figure out what's going on? I've done the forget and pair routine a bunch of times, no change.

The original app one disconnected like crazy, I upgraded to Pebble Time and upgraded the firmware, same problem.

Could the watch face I'm using be responsible for disconnects? I'm currently using one I found called Minimalist weather, which doesn't seem to be able to actually keep up to date since I moved to my new phone. This morning I "connected" to the watch in the app and sat it down next to my phone and went to make breakfast. I happened to be standing over the watch 9 minutes later, and the weather was still "Loading..." and then it disconnected. I just now switched to the Weather Channel watch face and it got weather data in about a second. So could there be some timeout in the watch face that causes the disconnect?

Time takes standard watch bands, right?

E: :hurr: maybe I should just read the product description, it takes a standard 22mm watch band

E2: Ugh only Gold for pebble steel, I need Silver!
