Certain watches can stay just as they are and people will keep buying them. The Casio F-91W, the most-sold watch in the world, keeps the time on a readable display and offers a single daily alarm slot (unless you board-swap it). The Timex Weekender may last as long as mechanical watches exist.
What about the Pebble? Is there still room on people’s wrists for the most exciting Kickstarter-backed tech of 2012–2016?
Eric Migicovsky, founder of the firm that was perhaps a bit too early to the smartwatch market, has made good on his pledge to find out and has made new Pebble watches available for preorder. The Core 2 Duo, “almost exactly a Pebble 2” with modernized chips, 30 days battery life, and a black-and-white e-paper screen, is $150 at preorder and is scheduled to ship in July. The Core Time 2, Migicovsky’s “dream watch,” is bigger, color, and metal and goes for $225 right now. Its release is slated for December.
