I know that there are already numerous such apps, but with the new RGB backlight, I would like to see a native flashlight that emits a serious amount of light at full brightness in an emergency, even if it drained the watch battery significantly. I have been in such a situation where I didn’t have time to pull my phone out of my pocket because of being hurried along by attendants in a totally dark arena. Also, it would be nice if a Quick Launch was possible using the Back/Up buttons. Edited: Now that the Quick Launch wish is a reality, now I just need a bright flashlight app. ---

Quick launch is available using the back/up buttons already, what do you mean? ---

Yes, I recently became aware, thanks! ---

Looks like the back/up buttons in Quick Launch are not available in the Pebble app if you only have a PT. ---

Huh. They should still be available to set on the watch itself though ---

Nope, just the original button configurations. ---

Ahhh right, I forgot that was a new thing in the updated firmware ---

Will anyone be updating the PT firmware? ---

Not until they figure out an open source BT stack for it. ---

OIC, it’s a good thing that I ordered a PT2.
