As for mood, Pebble will be introducing an experimental Happiness App that leverages the Pebble to check in on your mood throughout the day. If you currently own a Pebble product, you can download the app here. Once installed, the app would track your mood, energy and stress levels throughout the day in a weekly cycle, much like the Pebble’s preexisting health monitoring features.
