Eric Migicovsky, founder of Pebble, shared updates on the Core 2 Duo smartwatch, which is close to mass production with pre-orders shipping in July and August. An enhanced model, the Core 2 Time with added features, is also in development. The beta testing phase starts soon, involving 200 early pre-order units, with open participation for users of earlier Pebble smartwatches. This move rejuvenates support for legacy Pebble devices after Fitbit's discontinuation of the app service in 2018, appealing to longstanding fans of the brand.
The most interesting detail about Core Devices starting its beta test program is that it's not limited to those who preordered the new watches.
Customers who preordered the Core 2 Duo should receive an email later this month to confirm shipping and to pay any regional charges that apply.
Migicovsky also says the Core 2 Duo is ready to start beta testing and that 200 units have been manufactured and will be sent out to some early preorder customers.
Even if you don't have any interest in testing Core Devices' new hardware or software, this is great news for fans of the original Pebble watches.
