There is a custom watch face called "Fuzzy Time" which rounds the current time to the nearest 5 minutes interval. The first thing you'll see at the pebble watch is you current selected watch face and you can change it into another by using the 4 buttons on the watch. The main screen consists of music app, alarm, watchfaces, and setting. For the music app, you can use pause, play, and skip backwards or forwards. You can browse and select your watch faces.
