The resurgence of Pebble presents an opportunity to reboot the smartwatch industry. Eric Migicovsky<\/a>, the mastermind behind Pebble’s minimalist e-paper wearable, has unveiled a new device<\/a> that bears a striking resemblance to the iconic smartwatch brand, as seen in the Core 2 Duo and Core Time 2. The first glimpse of Migicovsky’s revived wearable shows promise, not due to any groundbreaking features that set it apart from the typical Apple Watch, but because of its unique character in today’s market.<\/p>\n

The standard array of smartwatches from Google<\/a>, Samsung, and Apple<\/a> has failed to genuinely excite us. Samsung and Apple are engaged in a competition to integrate as many health sensors as possible into their devices, and the most we can anticipate from the upcoming Apple Watch Series 11<\/a> is a slimmer design and a slightly improved display. The Core 2 Duo, in its current iteration, is essentially the same device as a Pebble 2<\/a> but with a few tweaks, featuring a relatively small 1.2-inch display and, notably, no touchscreen, controlled instead by buttons. The Core 2 Duo<\/a> boasts a black and white screen, while the $225 Core Time 2 comes with a 1.5-inch color touchscreen display and a heart rate monitor.<\/p>\n
