\nThese are the debut smartwatches from the brand RePebble. Since Google buried the company back in 2016, Migicovsky couldn\u2019t use the Pebble name. That\u2019s pretty sad, as he is the one who founded the company. In any case, these two smartwatches are available to pre-order today.
\nThe Pebble brand lives on in the new RePebble smartwatches
\nIf you were expecting a pleasant blast from the past with these new watches, you won\u2019t be disappointed. The new RePebble watches come with the same boxy design that reminds us of the older models. While boxy, they\u2019re still pretty sleek, and they stand out from other smartwatches on the market. We see that the company didn\u2019t take inspiration from the competition.
\nStarting off with the RePebble Core 2 Duo
\nThis is the less premium of the two. It comes with a 1.2-inch black and white display (144 x 168) that uses e-paper technology. It\u2019s a rectangular design, though it doesn\u2019t mimic what you see with the Apple Watch.
\nYou\u2019re not getting quite a premium design, as it has a polycarbonate body. However, you\u2019re buying a RePebble wearable for simplicity, not luxury. The plus side is that it\u2019s an exact reproduction of the Pebble 2 from back in the day. Along with that, this watch comes with a barometer and a compass.
\nIf longevity is a priority for you, then you\u2019ll love the 30-day battery life. This is up from seven days from the Pebble 2. Maybe you\u2019d fancy a swim, well, the RePebble Core 2 Duo is IPX8 water resistant.
\nAll in all, this is a pretty big upgrade over the Pebble 2, and it will feel just like home for people who miss the brand.

\nThe RePebble Core 2 will launch in July 2025 at a price of $149.
\nNext, the RePebble Core Time 2
\nThis watch\u2019s screen is a bit bigger at 1.5 inches, and it\u2019s a color e-ink display. This makes for a more attractive viewing experience. It\u2019s actually 53% larger than the Pebble Time 2\u2019s display and it has 88% more pixels (200 x 288). This means that you\u2019ll have a much sharper screen. The flat glass lens gives you less glare and reflections than what you got with the Pebble Time family. As an added bonus, the screen is touch-sensitive.
\nUnlike the RePebble Core 2 Duo, the Core Time 2 has a metal frame with metal buttons. This gives it a more premium feeling.
\nOddly, the RePebble Core Time 2 doesn\u2019t have a barometer and compass like the Core 2 Duo. However, it does have a heart rate monitor.

\nThe RePebble Core Time 2 will ship starting in December 2025 at $225. Since it launches so late in the year, there\u2019s a chance that you won\u2019t get it before the beginning of 2026.
\nShared features
\nThere are some features that the Core Time 2 has over the Duo, but there are also some features that come with both devices. Both devices share the iconic designs we saw with past Pebble devices, step tracking, sleep tracking, vibration motors, IPX8 water resistance, a microphone, a speaker, and compatibility with 10,000+ PebbleOS apps and watch faces.
\nWhile these watches won\u2019t ship until later in the year, you can pre-order them now.
