Is there a guide on how to load firmware builds that are hosted on github? I'm fed up with (newly) abysmal battery life and want to try to find an older version of firmware that can give me back weeks instead of days of runtime. I'm getting radio silence on the support ticket :/

ANSWERED!

For posterity, steps I used on an Android phone:

Firmware filename to use : normal_obelix_pvt_vX.XX.X.pbz - get them at github

Steps to update: download the file, click on it in 'Files', choose 'Pebble' as app to open the file, it will start loading it onto watch immediately

Caveats: Downgrading requires first executing the three finger salute of pressing and holding up+select+back buttons until the watch reboots and getting to QR code display. Wait until your phone name shows up under the QR code as an indicator of active BT connection, then tap the pbz file as described earlier.
