Act fast: These new Pebble watches with 1-month battery life won’t be available long

Even though Pebble ceased operations a little over 8 years ago, the brand still has many fans who use their discontinued watches every day. Many Pebble fans have been waiting a long time for someone to release new hardware that matches what they’ve come to love from Pebble watches, and today, the former CEO of Pebble has risen to that occasion. Eric Migicovsky announced a new hardware company called Core Devices today, and it’s bringing to market two smartwatches with the familiar Pebble software and design but dramatically improved battery life.

Who is Core Devices?

Back in 2016, fitness tracker brand Fitbit bought the intellectual property and trademark rights of Pebble, which were later transferred to Google after its acquisition of Fitbit. As a result, Eric Migicovsky can’t legally sell new watches under the Pebble brand. He can, however, sell new watches compatible with Pebble’s operating system under a new technology brand, hence the formation of Core Devices.
