Introducing two new Pebble watches!
5 hours ago
- Two new Pebble smartwatches announced: CorePebble 2 Duo ($149, July shipping) with black/white e-paper display, and CorePebble Time 2 ($225, December shipping) with 64-color display and touchscreen.
- Both run open source PebbleOS and are compatible with thousands of existing Pebble apps and watchfaces.
- Key features: always-on e-paper, long battery life (30 days), simple design, physical buttons, and hackable.
- Sold exclusively via pre-order at store.rePebble.com in limited quantities; refundable until shipment.
- CorePebble 2 Duo upgrades original Pebble 2 with modern chips, speaker, barometer, compass, and 30-day battery.
- CorePebble Time 2 adds a metal frame, larger display, and touchscreen for complications; no smartstrap support.
- Not a fitness/sports watch, and not comparable to Apple Watch; a labor of love with potential rough edges.
