First Core 2 Duo smartwatch demo is here, with updates on shipping and software

Pebble founder Eric Migicovsky posted a new video from his garage last week. The video showed off an early version of the Core 2 Duo smartwatch and discussed the project’s current status. It gave us our best look at the upcoming smartwatch yet, and Migicovsky also answered fan questions about the future.

In the first episode of a new podcast called Tick Talk with Eric Migicovsky, he gave a quick demo of the device, which is still in the testing phase. The unit he showed on camera isn’t even sealed up — it’s held together with tape and can’t actually tell the time yet — but it’s already running PebbleOS. Despite being a work-in-progress, features like Bluetooth and watch face support are in place, with some pretty cool examples demonstrated. The strap and charging dongle that will ship with the watch were also shown.
