How to pair RunKeeper with your Pebble?
There are no instructions on how to set this up–it’s automatic. As long as your Pebble is connected to your iPhone, the moment you tap ‘Start Activity’ in the app it’ll send data to the watch’s screen.
A tiny watch icon will display in the top left corner of RunKeeper to note your Pebble is connected:
To pause or resume RunKeeper from the Pebble, just tap the middle button on the right side of the watch. If RunKeeper was active and you exit to the main Pebble menu, you’ll see the app listed so you can return to it.
RunKeeper fans will love the integration with Pebble, as you’ll have live info and be able to control the app right from your wrist. Let us know how you’re liking RunKeeper integration with your Pebble.

Wish the watch app would show labels in Metric
Yeah even with metric settings, the watch displayed miles. You can bet a fix is coming for this.
That’s the first thing I noticed! What the frak is with these units?!? LOL. I did read on their support blog that this oversight will be corrected with the next release. Aside from that I find the Pebble quite handy. No pun intended. Maybe.
Well, Pebble still doesn’t fully support metric, after all this half a year. Some symbols show up corrupted. And what’s worse, if I want to run other app, better Pebble supported app like Pumatrac, at the same time on my iPhone, I can’t force RunKeeper not to be shown on Pebble and instead Pebble randomly switches between these apps.
