Eric Migicovsky, founder of the original Pebble smartwatch, is launching Core Devices, prioritizing battery life, physical controls, and user-centric design in two new smartwatches. These devices, the Core 2 Duo and Core Time 2, promise up to 30 days between charges, responding to the industry's shift towards power-hungry devices. The Core 2 Duo, starting at $149, features a black-and-white e-paper display for energy efficiency, and integrates elements from Pebble's original design. Migicovsky's frustration with modern smartwatches' limitations inspired this return to practicality and simplicity.
"After Pebble shut down, I never found another smartwatch with the exact same suite of features I wanted. This personal frustration ultimately drove me to create devices that emphasize longevity and practicality over the feature float that characterizes many contemporary wearables."
"We were able to find a supplier that still had the frames for Pebble Time 2 and Pebble 2. They were never used. This discovery allowed Core Devices to incorporate authentic Pebble DNA into their new creation, creating a direct lineage to the beloved original."
