  • Nearly 10 years after the iconic Pebble smartwatch was discontinued, the company is back with two new "Pebble-like" smartwatch models sporting low-power screens and packing a 30-day battery life, designed by Pebble founder Eric Migicovsky.

The article from TechRadar discusses the announcement by Eric Migicovsky, the founder of Pebble, about the launch of two new smartwatches under his new venture, Beeper. These smartwatches, named Beeper Watch X and Beeper Watch Y, aim to revive the minimalist and functional design ethos of the original Pebble watches. Beeper Watch X features a monochrome e-ink display, long battery life, and focuses on essential notifications and fitness tracking without the bells and whistles of modern smartwatches. On the other hand, Beeper Watch Y introduces a color e-ink display, offering a bit more in terms of visual appeal while still maintaining simplicity and efficiency. Both watches are designed to integrate seamlessly with Beeper's messaging platform, which aggregates multiple messaging services into one app, emphasizing connectivity and user privacy. The announcement has stirred interest among tech enthusiasts and former Pebble fans, looking for a return to straightforward, utility-focused wearables.
