Pebble, the popular E-ink Smartwatch has received a major update to version 2.5 that finally brings support for emojis, so if you receive an emoji in a message, your Pebble smartwatch will display it perfectly. The update also adds compass support that would let you access apps with compass and wayfinding features, introduces iOS 8 compatibility and lets you dismiss an alert from your Pebble, so that it will clear it from iOS Notification Center as well.
