New Pebble Watches Launch Pre-order

Not too long ago, I bought you the news that Google had made the original PebbleOS open source and that the founder of Pebble was planning to release a new watch. Well, that day is here.

Today, two new PebbleOS watches went live for pre-order; the Core Devices Core 2 Duo (€135) and Core Time 2 (€205).

The two devices will only be available online via pre-order and will not be in stores anywhere, but they are shipping globally thankfully.

Core 2 Duo

The Core 2 Duo is the entry-level PebbleOS wearable from Core Devices. It’s the embodiment of what Pebble was back in the day. It features a simple black and white display and polycarbonate frame.

This will be the choice for people seeking the truest form of the original Pebble Watch. This watch is also available a little earlier, shipping from July.

Core Time 2

A little more expensive but feature rich is the Core Time 2. This has a larger 64-colour display and metal frame. You will have to wait a little longer for this watch as it won’t ship until December.

Why Are These Devices Exciting?

When Pebble originally launched, it was a unique view on wearables. Instead of focusing on high definition and features galore, Pebble focused on simplicity and battery life. These new PebbleOS devices offer up to 30 days battery life, improved Bluetooth, water resistance and both step and sleep tracking.

I will say out the gates, this isn’t the wearable for everyone – but there are people who want more than a regular wristwatch but not all the bells and whistles of an Apple Watch. And for those people, Pebble OS watches from Core Devices are a very interesting option.
