Canadian CEO Eric Migicovsky is reviving the Pebble Time 2 smartwatch, a successor to the original Pebble Time which was initially scrapped after the brand was acquired by Fitbit. The new Pebble Time 2 will feature four color options and will be compatible with regular 22mm watch straps, offering customization options. The upgraded smartwatch includes a stainless steel design, a colored e-ink screen, a compass sensor, and a backlight, with an estimated battery life of 30 days. It is priced at US$225 (C$310) and is expected to ship in December. Migicovsky has noted that the new Pebble watches work better on Android due to iOS limitations.
