Although most people are currently interested in big brand smartwatches like the Apple Watch and the LG Watch Urbane, less known projects like Pebble shouldn’t be forgotten either. In fact, the company has just revealed its latest smartwatch dubbed Pebble Time and it definitely looks very interesting. You know how the battery on a regular smartwatch only lasts for about one day or so? Well, you don’t have to worry about that with the Pebble Time because this wearable device features a battery that can last for as much as one week, or at the very least five days. This is achieved via the color e-paper display technology that also comes with the benefit of offering an always-on screen.
The Pebble Time comes with quite a few improvements when compared to its predecessors while still offering known and loved features like great battery life, water resistance, and customization. As for the specific upgrades, you can expect to find an improved timeline interface, a new operating system, a new quick release system for the straps, a new microphone, and various other new and interesting features. The Pebble Time is also 20 percent thinner than its predecessor, is available in three colors and comes equipped with Corning Gorilla Glass protection for the display, as well as stainless steel bezels.
Pebble is returning back to where it all started and is offering the Pebble Time smartwatch via Kickstarter. The company’s funding goal sits at $500,000, but as of this writing, the Pebble Time has already gathered almost $4 million from almost 4,000 backers. What’s even more impressive is that the device was only made available on Kickstarter earlier today and that there are still 31 days to go before the funding ends.
