Despite the success of the Apple Watch, the Pebble smartwatch was an early player, offering days-long battery life and a simpler user experience. After Pebble's commercial struggles led to its closure, Google has chosen to open source Pebble OS, fostering fresh interest in the brand. The original designer, Eric Migicovsky, is set to resurrect Pebble's legacy. This initiative not only allows for community-driven modifications but also paves the way for the iconic wearables to re-emerge with updated hardware options.
The Apple Watch might be the household name in smartwatches today, but it was hardly the first of its kind, being beaten to the punch by earlier wearables.
Google announced it was open sourcing Pebble OS, laying the foundations for third-party mods on existing Pebble smartwatches and a potential rebirth of the original wearables.
