Apparently Pebble users had a burning need for the fire emoji. The company's 3.13 firmware update, which it released today, includes a new Weather app and Health app updates. Watches can also now display the fire emoji. We got fire emoji for summer!
The built-in Weather Channel app will function as the default weather app, especially for users whose watch faces don't already display the forecast. It provides the day's weather along with a look at what tomorrow holds. The Health updates improve accuracy, Pebble says. The app won't count turning in your sleep as a step, for example, and its daily health graph clarifies when it last updated and supports 24-hour time.
This improvement follows Pebble's health focus with the launch of its Kickstarter for the Pebble Core, Pebble 2, and Time 2, and its launch of the Health app last December. Sorry Pebble Classic and Pebble Steel users, 3.13 doesn't apply to y'all.
