Pebble's founder wants to relaunch the e-paper smartwatch for its fans
Briefly

Migicovsky is revisiting the Pebble smartwatch concept through a small, sustainable company focused on creating devices with the features users loved: an always-on display, long battery life, and physical buttons. The new watches will run PebbleOS with similar specs while emphasizing simplicity and a hackable interface. Despite this revival, interoperability with iPhones remains limited due to Apple's restrictions that favor its own devices. The timeline for releasing new hardware is still unspecified, reflecting a cautious approach to development without external investment pressures.
This time round, we're keeping things simple. Lessons were learned last time! I'm building a small, narrowly focused company to make these watches.
Apple has limited the functionality of third-party smartwatches so that users who purchase the Apple Watch face substantial out-of-pocket costs if they do not keep buying iPhones.
