Pebble 十一月更新：4.3 版韌體、App

Pebble 這次 11 月的更新，是針對韌體和 App 推出 4.3 版，主要是針對 Pebble 2 系列 的心律偵測做了一些改進，同時也針對 iOS 加入 Reminders（提醒）的功能（應該是新的吧？）。

而對於 Heresy 這種使用 Android 和 Pebble Time 等舊手表的人來說，這次的更新，主要應該就只有加入了「Kickstart」這個新的錶面吧～

官方的公告是：《What’s New in Pebble’s 4.3 Firmware and Apps》。

「Kickstart」這個錶面看起來就如下圖所示，他基本上算是一個簡單的錶面，能看時間、步數、在外圍則有步數的進度條；如果是 Pebble 2 系列的話，則也可以顯示心跳。

而由於 Heresy 會習慣看日期，所以這個錶面對 Heresy 來說應該是沒什麼用了。

至於 iOS 的 Reminders 看來則是可以透過語音來建立提醒事項、儲存在 timeline 中，並和手機的 Reminders App 同步；個人是覺得這個功能滿方便的～不過很遺憾的是，目前只能給英文語系的 iPhone 使用者使用。

再來，在韌體上，Pebble 2 系列的手錶增加了「Heart Rate Zones」的功能，可以用來檢視自己日常的消耗狀態。另外，現在也開放了第三方的手機程式，可以存取手表的心跳資訊。

最後，4.2 版的 App 感覺似乎有穩定性上的問題？

Heresy 這邊手機用久一點不關機，Pebble Time 就可能會收不到通知；但是這個時候，用 Pebble 內建的通知測試，又都是好的。

而試著把手錶關掉重開、或是斷線重連，都沒有用，不過如果把手機關掉重開、或把 Pebble 的 App 強制關閉重開就好了。

不知道這個問題在 4.3 解決了啊？這個可能要再確認看看了。
