I am a huge fan of my Pebble smartwatch that I received several months ago as a Kickstarter backer. Today, Pebble gets even better for iPhone users thanks to iOS 7 notification support.


Those of us using Pebble watches with Android have been experiencing advanced notification support through the Pebble app and a number of 3rd party applications. Today's update brings iOS 7's Notification Center support to the Pebble.

With an iOS 7 device and your Pebble you will be able to choose updates for calls, texts, emails, Calendar, Twitter, Facebook, Google+, Instagram, LinkedIn, Flickr, Dropbox, WhatsApp, Flipboard and more. The updated application is under review by Apple and should be available soon.


In addition to iOS 7 support, Pebble is launching SDK 2.0. The four new APIs include Javascript, Accelerometer, Data Logging and Persistent Storage. As a fan of the Runkeeper support I look forward to possibly even deeper Runkeeper integration with my Pebble. My ideal situation is that my Pebble can serve as my Fitbit replacement to eliminate one accessory that I have to carry around.


Pebble also posted the following stats:



  • Number of Pebbles on wrists worldwide: 190,000

  • Number of apps and faces downloaded: 2 million

  • Number of apps and faces on mypebblefaces.com: 2,200

  • Number of watchfaces created on watchface-generator.de: 80,000

  • Number of companion apps available on the iTunes and Google Play stores: 50+

  • Number of developers: 10,000+


With these updates, it looks to me like the Pebble is the smartwatch to beat. All colors are now in stock and available to purchase for $150.
