Watch the Unveiling of Pebble Time 2 Design

Eric Migicovsky, founder of the smartwatch pioneer Pebble, has unveiled the final design of the upcoming Pebble Time 2, featuring cutting-edge enhancements that redefine the smartwatch experience.

Sleek and Durable Design with E-Paper Display

The Pebble Time 2 boasts a modern design crafted from 316 stainless steel for both the front and back casing, ensuring high durability and corrosion resistance. The buttons feature a knurled texture for a secure grip, maintaining the same design language as previous Pebble Time Steel models.

The display is one of the standout upgrades, utilizing E-Paper technology for exceptional clarity even in direct sunlight, with significantly lower power consumption compared to traditional LCD screens. Additionally, the touch-enabled display reduces reliance on physical buttons.

Multicolor Backlighting and Advanced Customization

The watch includes a multicolor LED backlighting system, allowing users to personalize colors or sync them with notifications and apps a major improvement over previous models with single-color backlighting.

Enhanced Performance and Sensors

Heart rate monitor: For daily health tracking and sleep analysis.
Dual microphones with noise cancellation: For clearer calls and voice commands.
Built-in compass: Supports navigation and location-aware apps when paired with a smartphone’s GPS.
Integrated speaker: For taking calls and playing audio alerts.

Water Resistance and Long Battery Life

The Pebble Time 2 is designed to be water-resistant, making it suitable for swimming and water sports. The screw-secured back panel (instead of a snap mechanism) also simplifies battery replacement when needed.

Thanks to the efficient E-Paper display, the battery lasts up to 30 days on a single charge.

Limited Edition and Multiple Color Options

The team plans to release the watch in four colors (yet to be revealed), with priority given to previous Pebble 2 Duo buyers for upgrades while retaining their place in the waiting list. Shipping is expected to begin in December 2025.
