How to Sync Pebble Watch With Windows Phone 8
The Pebble is a smartwatch developed by Pebble Technology and released in 2013 that was funded via the crowd funding platform Kickstarter. It is an extremely popular product from 2013 which sends your phone notifications to your watch. Pebble is not officially supported on Windows Phone 8 and there is no official app for it in the store. But if you are a Windows Phone user having Pebble, here is an useful app, called Pebble Watch Pro, which allows you to receive Calendar, Twitter, Battery and Network alerts from your Windows Phone right on your Pebble.
This is an unofficial app with many limitations, but still worth a try. You need to switch on the Bluetooth on the phone and sync the phone.
Once you have connected, you get options from the settings menu to sync. Tapping the gear icon at the bottom of the screen will bring you to this menu, which includes Twitter, Facebook and General notifications among others.
Features:
- You can choose 5, 10, 15 and 30 minute reminders before your appointments.
- You can get Tweets from your Home Timeline and Twitter Direct Messages.
- You can get alerts when your phone battery drops below 50, 40, 30, 20 and 10 percent.
- You can get alerts when you lose or regain access to the data network including Wi-Fi, 3G or 4G.
In addition you can control music on your Windows Phone right from the Pebble. You can Select songs from playlist, genre or all songs on your phone and then pause/play move to the next or previous song right from the music app on your Pebble. As mentioned above, there are certain limitations with the app. This app only functions while running in the foreground. The app does not provide notifications for incoming phone calls, SMS texts or emails. The lock screen only needs to be disabled for full music control.
The app is priced at $1.99 and can be downloaded from the Windows Phone store.
