Pebble Time 2 is Back: 30-Day Battery Life & Stainless Steel E-Ink Smartwatch

The beloved Pebble brand is officially making a comeback. According to tech media reports, the new Pebble Time 2 smartwatch has been announced, personally designed by founder Eric Migicovsky. This new device aims to carry on the Pebble series' iconic legacy of minimalist aesthetics and a highly customizable user experience.

The journey back to the market is a story in itself. Migicovsky successfully reacquired the Pebble brand and its core intellectual property in early 2025, operating through his new company, Core Devices. The watch, which was originally slated for release as the Core Time 2, has been officially rebranded as the Pebble Time 2, marking a true return for the name.

Drawing inspiration from the classic Pebble Time Steel, the new watch features a 316 stainless steel front and back case, complemented by knurled metal buttons. The design has been refined with narrower bezels and flat glass. Despite its premium materials, the watch remains lightweight at approximately 48 grams (including the strap) and adds practical touches like a screw-fixed back cover.

At its core, the Pebble Time 2 is equipped with a 1.5-inch, 64-color e-ink touchscreen, a linear vibration motor for notifications, and a speaker with dual microphones to support voice interaction and calls. New hardware upgrades include an RGB multicolor backlight and a compass sensor, expanding its functionality.

The standout feature of the Pebble Time 2 is its incredible battery life, lasting up to 30 days under normal usage—a significant advantage over mainstream smartwatches. It also includes essential modern features like heart rate monitoring, water resistance, and support for standard 22mm quick-release straps, making it both durable and versatile.

Fully compatible with both iOS and Android devices, the Pebble Time 2's core strengths lie in its low-power consumption, highly personalized watch faces, and user-friendly cross-platform support. This launch marks a powerful return for a brand celebrated for its unique approach to wearable technology, promising to deliver a familiar yet enhanced experience to fans old and new.
