rePebble

The Pebble smart watch is back. I missed this announcement from founder Eric Migicovsky earlier in the year, but was stoked to see the announcement of new hardware this week.

This time around, Migicovsky is funding the project himself and learning from the mistakes of Pebbles past. His reasoning for creating new Pebble watches is simple and admirable:

Why are we making new Pebble-like smartwatches?

Pretty simple - because we want one! No company has made a perfect smartwatch for people like us, so we’re going to make the exact smartwatch we want.

No smartwatch on the market since Pebble offers this combination of features…until today!

The code is all available on Github.

And that white Core 2 Duo looks really nice. 🤔
