Pebble's Big Return: What's Next for the Smartwatch?

Pebble smartwatches might be making a comeback. This news comes after Google released the source code for PebbleOS. This move allowed developers to give old Pebble smartwatches a new lease on life. The watches have been surprisingly durable over the years. The original founder, Eric Migicovsky, is behind this reboot. He has been working on new Pebble hardware. In January, there were hints that the new hardware might be similar to the Pebble 2. However, there was no clear timeline for the release. Now, things are moving quickly. An email was sent to those who signed up for updates on the "RePebble" project. The email teased an announcement for March 18. The subject line read, "Time to get excited. " It provided a countdown link to a new "RePebble" store. The email gave specific times for the announcement. It mentioned 9am PDT, 12 noon EDT, 4pm GMT, 9:30pm IST, Midnight CST, and 1am JST. This suggests a global audience is expected. The countdown is live on the store page. This has fans speculating about what will be announced. Many hope it will be details about the new hardware and possibly pre-orders. The excitement is building, and the smartwatch community is eager to see what comes next.
