The \u201cPebble\u201d name is officially back, as the Core 2 Duo and Core Time 2 smartwatches that were going to act as a reboot for the experience are now officially called the Pebble 2 Duo and Pebble Time 2*.<\/p>\n
Over the past few months, original Pebble founder Eric Migicovsky has been in the process of reviving his smartwatch experience through a new company, \u201cCore Devices.\u201d<\/a> New smartwatches have been in development and will start shipping soon, but they were called \u201cCore 2 Duo\u201d and \u201cCore Time 2\u201d rather than just \u201cPebble\u201d as most people recognized them as.<\/p>\n Now, that\u2019s changing for the better.<\/p>\n In a new post, Migicovsky reveals that he has regained control of the \u201cPebble\u201d trademark and that, as of today, these new smartwatches are officially called \u201cPebble 2 Duo\u201d and \u201cPebble Time 2*.\u201d The company itself is still called \u201cCore Devices,\u201d though, leaving the door open to other hardware in the future.<\/p>\n \tAdvertisement – scroll for more content<\/p>\n Migicovsky explains<\/a>:<\/p>\n Great news \u2013 we\u2019ve been able to recover the trademark for Pebble! Honestly, I wasn\u2019t expecting this to work out so easily.<\/p>\n Core 2 Duo is now Pebble 2 Duo. Core Time 2 is now Pebble Time 2*.<\/p>\n People were going to call these new watches Pebbles anyways, so I am glad that it\u2019s official. It may take me a few cycles to stop calling it Core 2 Duo or C2D, so expect some naming\/language confusion everywhere for a bit. Our company is still called Core Devices, because we make the devices that are part of your core daily life.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Notably, the second device is indeed called \u201cPebble Time 2*,\u201d with the asterisk part of the name. It doesn\u2019t mean \u201cThe New Avengers\u201d<\/a> in this case, instead being a reference to the fact that this is a different product from the original Pebble Time 2 that was announced in 2016, but never shipped<\/a>. <\/p>\n The post goes on to discuss that some initial Duo units have been shipped to early users, while a revamped Pebble app is also on its way (and now listed in the Play Store<\/a>). The tariff cost for Pebble 2 Duo units in the US has also apparently been settled at $10 extra per smartwatch. As for deliveries of smartwatches, the original July window is apparently not happening, with mass production not yet underway. The new estimate is sometime towards the end of August, with part of the delay due to an improvement to the dust\/water resistance rating.<\/p>\n More on Pebble:<\/p>\n Follow Ben:<\/strong>\u00a0Twitter\/X<\/a>,\u00a0Threads<\/a>, Bluesky<\/a>, and\u00a0Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links.
