Pebble smartwatch officially adds Android Wear support for all
Anyone who owns a Pebble smartwatch will now be able to reply and act on Android Wear notifications they see from their device, the hardware maker has announced.
The smartwatch comes with its own operating system, but in December, Pebble announced that a beta version of its software would include support for Android Wear, the mobile operating system Google has developed for wearables. At that time, the company said that "if you can do it with Android Wear, you can do it with Pebble."
In a blog post Monday announcing the final build's wide release, the company reiterated that. Integrating with Android Wear opens up a range of possibilities for Pebble owners because the OS has an ecosystem of thousands of apps that support notifications and can work on the device. Pebble was one of the first companies to double down on smartwatches, attracting a loyal following after a successful, $10.3 million Kickstarter campaign in 2012.
