Pebble’s Smartwatch is Back: Pebble Time 2 Specs Revealed

Eric Migicovsky, the original creator of the Pebble smartwatch, on Wednesday showed off the new designs for the upcoming watch, now known as the Pebble Time 2. Although the company originally branded its new watches as the Core 2 Duo and Core Time 2 when it first announced its plans to return to the market in March, Migicovsky says the company has since been able to regain the Pebble trademark.

That means the new watches will instead be called the Pebble 2 Duo and the Pebble Time 2. Migicovsky’s company, Core Devices, had also shown off early ideas for the watches back in March, but today it’s revealing the final design for the Pebble Time 2. The industrial design of the watch has changed, and a handful of new features have been added, notes Migicovsky in a blog post. The Time 2 will debut in four colors, still yet to be determined; Pebble buyers will have input later on, the company says.

Plus, the company is adding a multicolor RGB LED backlight, a second microphone (to aid with a potential environmental noise-cancellation feature), a compass sensor, and a screw-mounted back cover. The watch will be stainless steel on the front and back and will feature stainless steel buttons like the older Pebble Time Steel.
