Your watch-faces can use any time format that you wish, including the popular 'text watch' format.

You can also include dynamic content which will update continually from your phone:

- Your next calendar appointments (on supported devices ICS+)

- Missed call, Unread SMS counters

- Unread Gmail counters for any labels

- Phone battery percentage

- Phone sensor status (temperature, humidity, pressure on supported devices e.g. Galaxy S4)

- Weather

Limitations:

- Pebble does not yet support persistent storage. This means that every time you select the 'Pebble Canvas' watch-face on your Pebble, it must communicate with your phone before it can display anything. After this, it will continue to display all non-dynamic content even if connection to your phone is lost.

Support:

- Please submit any bug reports if you do encounter an issue. You may also submit diagnostics from the 'About' menu to help diagnose any problems
