Pebble Smartwatches Are Back In 2025 With The Promise Of 30-Day Battery Life

Remember Pebble Watches, the wearables that came before the Apple Watch and allowed you to run them for weeks? Yes, those are back from the original creator but with a new company and a new name in 2025.

Eric Migicovsky is the founder of the OG Pebble brand and now his new company Core Devices is bringing Pebble hardware and platform with a new name. The Core 2 Duo (not the Intel processor) and the Core Time 2 will be available later this year but people in select regions can pre-book now.

Pebble Watches In 2025 With A Core Name: What It Offers

Migicovsky claims these new products are effectively the upgraded versions of the Pebble 2 that comes with the same long battery life promise. These watches run on the same Pebble OS-like interface but upgraded with new features like a coloured screen, speaker, and more premium materials for the Core 2 Time variant.

The Core 2 Duo gets a 1.26-inch Black and white display while the Time 2 comes with a 1.5-inch coloured panel which supports touch input. The Core Time 2 also includes a heart rate sensor and supports sleep tracking, which means the overall back up of 30 days might be a stretch. Both the models work with iPhone and Android devices but Apple’s 3rd party rules limit its feature support.

Going by the features, it is easy to tell that the Core 2 Duo comes cheaper at $149 (Rs 12,900 approx) while the Core Time 2 costs $225 (Rs 19,500 approx).
