Pebble has released a new firmware update for its Pebble Time series of smartwatches. The update includes a new Weather app along with improvements to its health features.
The weather info delivered daily to your Pebble Timeline is now also accessible on-demand from our official Weather app. Powered by The Weather Channel, get the current temperature, current conditions, highs and lows for the day, and the next day's forecast. Manage your Weather settings from the Apps tab of the Pebble mobile app.
In addition, the 3.13 firmware version works with an update to the Pebble mobile apps for some health feature improvements to the Time models:
We've enhanced the step and sleep algorithms in version 3.13 for greater accuracy. Pebble Health is now smarter when accounting for movements made while sleeping—keeping them from being logged as steps. Pebble Health's mobile graphs now include the last time updated, clearer messaging, support for 24-hour time, and more. You can keep making Pebble Health smarter and more useful by sending us feedback and bug reports. Simply select Menu » Support » Contact Support » Pebble Health in the Pebble mobile app to share your input and automatically submit relevant log files.
While the Pebble Time smartwatches are getting the firmware update, the Pebble Classic and Pebble Steel devices will remain at their current firmware version of 3.12.1. They will not be getting the Weather app or the Health improvements.

Pebble Time smartwatches get new Weather app and more with latest update
Got the update, really liking the new weather application. Very easy to use and very fast, which was my main complaint with the last weather app I used.
So I won't have 500 steps by the time I wake up in the morning now? LOL
Pebble is inching me closer to ditching my Fitbit, and I couldn't be happier :)
I upgraded to v.3.13 on my Time Round but I cannot find the weather app in my launcher. I even did a factory reset of the watch and reloaded everything, but there is still no stock weather app.
No weather app here either. I do have the firmware update though.

Same here. No weather app on my pebble time.
Thats because you also need to update the pebble app via the play store
Open pebble app and hit the dot menu, choose support, click check update button at bottom, next screen choose update pebble. Done!
