🔗 Why We’re Bringing Pebble Back

ericmigi.com • January 28, 2025

The Pebble was my first smart watch. I purchased a the original model in jet black not long after release. I was in high school at the time, and I recall it drawing a bit of attention at the summer camp I worked at. Maybe it was my age, but I certainly felt dorky wearing it!

Now, in 2025, you wouldn’t glance twice.

I had really, really, really hoped that someone else would come along and build a Pebble replacement. But no one has. So… a small team and I are diving back into the world of hardware to bring Pebble back!

I’m thrilled it’s making a comeback. A hackable, affordable e-ink watch? I don’t care how dorky it looks.

The emphasis is on sustainability. I want to keep making cool gadgets and keep Pebble going long into the future.

This is the right idea.
