Pebble Smartwatch is BACK! (And It's AMAZING)
The Pebble Smartwatch is back after over a decade, with two new models: the Pebble Core 2 Duo and the Pebble Core Time 2. The Core 2 Duo is a remake of the original Pebble 2, with a 1.26-inch black and white e-paper display, polycarbonate frame, and 30-day battery life. The Core Time 2 features a larger 1.5-inch 64-color e-paper display, metal frame, and heart rate sensor. Both models will run on open-source Pebble software, supporting over 10,000 Pebble apps and watch faces.
Both smartwatches will have a companion app for iOS and Android, with an updated SDK for developers. The designs of the new Pebble smartwatches pay homage to the original, with physical hardware buttons, long battery life, and third-party developer support. However, the project's scope is a labor of love, not aimed at mass sales, which may result in some rough edges or potential delays.
The smartwatches will be sold exclusively through the Republished store in limited quantities due to display component supply constraints. Pre-ordering is highly recommended, with shipments starting in July for the Core 2 Duo and December for the Core Time 2.
