Title: Pebble Time 2 Unveiled With 30-Day Battery and ePaper Display Post by: HCK on August 17, 2025, 04:05:07 pm Pebble Time 2 Unveiled With 30-Day Battery and ePaper Display
Pebble smartwatches are making a return this year, and creator Eric Migicovsky this week showed off the finalized design for the upcoming Pebble Time 2 (https://ericmigi.com/blog/pebble-time-2-design-reveal). (https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2025/08/pebble-time-redesign.jpg) Migicovsky previewed early designs for the revamped smartwatch back in March (https://ericmigi.com/blog/introducing-two-new-pebbleos-watches) when he announced the return of PebbleOS, but the final version has a more refined look. The device features a 1.5-inch rectangular watch face with a set of three buttons on the right side and a single button on the left side. The watch will be made of 316 stainless steel, with black and silver design options and four colorways. The Pebble Time 2 will have a 64 color ePaper touch screen rather than an OLED display like the Apple Watch, which will allow for an estimated battery life of 30 days. Other features include a multicolor LED backlight, a compass sensor, dual microphones, heart rate monitoring, step tracking, sleep tracking, a speaker, and waterproofing. The watch is priced at $225 (https://store.repebble.com), and it's expected in December. Pebble went bankrupt in 2016 and was sold to Fitbit (https://www.macrumors.com/2016/12/07/fitbit-pebble-time-core-smartwatches-canceled/), which led to the cancelation of planned Time 2 and Core 2 wearables. Migicovsky is now aiming to bring those devices back. (https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2025/08/pebble-time-2.jpg) Earlier this year, Migicovsky complained (https://www.macrumors.com/2025/03/18/pebble-smartwatch-apple-restrictions/) that Apple's restrictions on third-party smartwatches will limit how the Pebble works with an iPhone (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/iphone/). He said that it is "nearly impossible" for third-party wearable developers to create an experience that mirrors the Apple Watch experience. Migicovsky suggested that "Pebble-curious" ‌iPhone‌ users complain loudly to Apple or switch to Android, as Android users will have access to more Pebble functionality than ‌iPhone‌ users.<div class="linkback">Tag: Pebble (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/pebble/)</div> This article, "Pebble Time 2 Unveiled With 30-Day Battery and ePaper Display (https://www.macrumors.com/2025/08/14/pebble-time-2/)" first appeared on MacRumors.com (https://www.macrumors.com) Discuss this article (https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/pebble-time-2-unveiled-with-30-day-battery-and-epaper-display.2463393/) in our forums Source: Pebble Time 2 Unveiled With 30-Day Battery and ePaper Display (https://www.macrumors.com/2025/08/14/pebble-time-2/) |
