Pebble Time 2 recovers its historical name with renewed design, stainless steel and one month autonomy

Eric Migicovskythe name that every wearable lover associates with the mythical Pebble, has returned to the load. The creator of the first smartwatch who conquered the technological community has finally taught how the new model that is preparing will be. And yes, it is called Pebble again.

In March, when he announced his plans to return to the market, Migicovsky presented his watches under the provisional names Core 2 Duo and Core Time 2. However, at this time the company has managed to recover the registered trademark Pebblewhich means that the return will be with all the letters: Pebble 2 Duo and Pebble Time 2.

A renewed design and with winks to the past

Migicovsky himself, through an official blog post, has shown the Final Design of Pebble Time 2. Aesthetics has evolved regarding the initial ideas shown a few months ago, with more polished lines and some interesting additions that were not on the table in March.

Among the novelties, we find a Multicolored LED RGB RGBwhich will provide a more attractive visual touch and improve visibility in different light conditions. A Second microphonedesigned to open the door to functions such as the cancellation of ambient noise, and a Integrated compass sensor. The rear cover, by the way, will be screwed, which can facilitate maintenance or future repairs.

As for materials, the clock is committed to the stainless steel both in the front and rear, accompanied by metal buttons in the style of the old Pebble Time Steel.

Colors and customization

The company has not yet closed the definitive color palette, but has advanced that There will be four versions and that it will be the buyers themselves who can comment before launch. A strategy that reminds of the participatory philosophy that made Pebble great in his early days.

Beyond these changes, several of the characteristics that were already known are respected. The Pebble Time 2 will have a 1.5 -inch electronic paper screen and 64 colorswith touch technology and protected by a flat temperate glass. The Correa will be 22 mm With rapid release system, allowing it to be easily exchanged.

In the technical section, the battery points to a Autonomy of up to 30 days. It will be integrated heart rate monitor, steps and sleep monitoringspeaker, linear vibration motor and Water resistance (although the exact certification is yet to be defined).

Price, reservations and compatibility

THE NEW PEBBLE TIME 2 It can already be reserved for $ 225 (about 198 euros). It will connect to the mobile by Bluetooth, showing notifications, controlling music and allowing some online functions.

In addition, those who would have already reserved a Core 2 Duo can be passed to the Pebble Time 2 without losing their place in the waiting list. The company will send an email in approximately one month to a survey to manage the change, without the need to cancel the original order.

With this movement, Migicovsky not only recovers a brand that many gave for dead, but seems determined to return the prominence to a smartwatch concept that prioritizes autonomy, simplicity and real utility over passing fashion. And, seen as seen, it seems that Pebble is ready to live a second youth.
