Pebble's comeback is real - and this OG owner already ordered both new models

I have the two Pebble smartwatches I purchased starting in 2013 and also backed the Pebble Time 2 watch that was later canceled when Fitbit purchased Pebble's software assets. In January, I wrote an article on the TechCrunch report that CEO Eric Migicovsky was planning to bring back Pebble in 2025, but I thought that was likely just wishful thinking -- I was wrong.

Preorder available now

It turns out that Mr. Migicovsky was serious, and just six weeks later we have the introduction of two new PebbleOS watches that should hopefully be available in July and December 2025. Interested consumers can preorder the Core 2 Duo for $149 or the Core Time 2 for $225. Since there are five months between the two launches, I ordered one of each for myself.
