The Pebble Time 2’s total aesthetic jogs my memory of a mixture of the unique Pebble Time Metal and the Pebble Time 2 that by no means launched again in 2017. Its design is a bit more curved with just a few enjoyable shade accents, relying on the mannequin. As a long-time fan of the Pebble that is thrilled the e-paper smartwatch is again from the lifeless, I actually like the brand new look of the upcoming smartwatch, significantly the grey choice.
Within the weblog put up, Migicovsky says that anybody that is already purchased the Pebble 2 Duo ($150), the lower-end model of the e-paper smartwatch, can nonetheless swap to the higher-end Pebble Time 2. I opted to pre-order the Pebble Time 2 just a few months in the past and, after seeing the glossy closing design, I am joyful I pulled the set off so early.
