Not sure if this is already known, but if you're like me and have Android and want Musicboss, Autoapp, etc on your shiny new watch, and have no patience, use Micropebble instead.

Install the new Pebble app, do the setup as usual. This will ensure firmware is installed.

Remove watch from bluetooth.

Install Micropebble. https://github.com/matejdro/microPebble/releases

Connect.

Disconnect watch in Pebble app (if you leave it connected it will do strange things like install apps from both services)

Install your apps from .pbw files

https://apps.rebble.io/en_US/watchapps?dev_settings=true (This link exposes .pbw downloads for each app)

So far most of my apps work. Voicenote is a nogo. The old version of Nav works, as does Music Boss,

and Autopebble (The most important)

Trying to get a Pebble smartwatch community started far from the reach of Reddit. Everyone is welcome! If you are using the new watch and need companion apps to run, btw, go to Micropebble and use that for now. https://github.com/matejdro/microPebble

So far I have Autopebble, original Navme, and Music Boss running on micropebble. For some reason calendar is not working though.
