I love the Pebbles. I have a Pebble Time, just snagged a used Pebble Time Round 20mm from eBay so I'm looking forward to trying that out!
Your comment sent me digging. I had no idea that they could still function. I thought they were lost to time (lol), but apparently Google gave an update to the official app so the Rebble project could keep supporting all the functionality of the watch. Looks like it's Android only, though tbf Pebble always did have significantly more functionality on Android than iOS. But if it would work on iOS, I'd dig out my Pebble right now.
You can still use them with GadgetBridge if Rebble ever goes away too!
I think you can technically still use Pebble on iOS, but I'm not sure how. The previous owner of the watch has been using it with his iPhone 13.
Yeah apparently there's some weird side loading thing you can do, but you have to keep updating it once a week or it stops working.
