Pebble - Now We’re Talking: Amazon Alexa Comes to Pebble Core

“Experiencing Amazon Alexa on-the-go right from Pebble Core is game-changing for wearable technology,” said Pebble CEO Eric Migicovsky. “We’re longtime fans of the powerful voice services Alexa delivers, and it only gets smarter and more useful over time. It’s an approach we embrace with our own products.”
“The integration of Amazon Alexa into Pebble Core is exciting to see,” said Steve Rabuchin, Vice President, Amazon Alexa. “By making Alexa Voice Services available for free to device makers and developers, we knew there would be no limit to the innovative uses.”

The Pebble Happiness App is a one-week program that lets you check in on how you're feeling. You'll get an hourly prompt (during waking hours only!) that lets you rate your mood and energy level. The prompt will also ask you where you are, who you're with, and what activities you've done recently. This information will help us provide you with deeper insights on how different environments and events impact your mood.

At the end of the week, we’ll send you an email report with your results through a transactional email service. Pebble will not use or share your information for any purpose beyond this app (although we may use anonymous or aggregated data to improve the app and for other internal business purposes).

Did not see any point of keeping it though.
