It also includes the latest iOS 8 compatibility, allowing watch to display actionable notification as well as allow users to dismiss notifications from their wrists.

Though, that’s not it, as company has also activate the magnetometer, therefore allowing developers to make full use of the Open SDK, which company provides since the Pebble Steel came into existence. To know what Pebble Steel can do now, you can install the Compass app by Pebble or Discover local points of interests, or head to your destination.

Updating your Pebble watch to latest 2.5 version is easy, you just need to open the already installed Pebble app on your iOS or Android device. Then, select support, there you will see an option to update the firmware of your watch.

Other interesting additions are DOMO’s angry face, which can be trigger by shaking the watch, while the Domo will also get drowsy and then fall asleep at nighttime. You can also set your location, and when it’s hot outside, he will sweat.
