If you have a Pebble watch, don’t download the Pebble 2.1 update. It could very well brick your smart watch.
According to Smartwatch Fans, a number of people are finding that the updated Pebble app is killing their Pebble watches:
We’re getting tips from a slew of readers who have updated their Pebble app today, only to be left with a non-functioning watch. The update is crashing at launch and rendering itself useless, making for a lot of unhappy Pebble owners.
Over at iMore, senior editor Richard Devine confirms:
One of those unhappy Pebble owners is writing this post. I saw the update, accepted it, and now can’t do anything with the watch except tell the time. The app opens – briefly – and then completely crashes. My own Pebble has also lost any Bluetooth connection to my iPhone, and because of the issue with the app I’m completely unable to reconnect.
Luckily, Pebble is aware of the issue and says that they’re issuing a fix. Hopefully, that will unbrick any currently malfunctioning Pebbles. We’ll keep you posted.
