Pebble Time 3.2 update brings new backlight, vibration, and font settings – app updated too
After only hitting retail stores earlier this week, Pebble is wasting no time in pushing out an update to the Pebble Time that brings some of their most user requested features to the smartwatch. Arriving in firmware update 3.2 available now, users can now fine tune the brightness of their display, adjust font size, and tweak the vibration intensity of their smartwatch to their liking.
Pebble also mentions in their blog post that they’ve also improved music player controls and added support for more music apps, officially bringing Pandora, Spotify, and Songza into the fold. Users will also find a dismiss all option, handy for cleaning up some of the clutter that can build up in their notifications. Here’s the full changelog, including the app which is also seeing an update today:
