2025 PebbleOS watches Core 2 Duo and Core Time 2 go up for pre-order – limited numbers available
From the moment Eric Migicovsky announced the return of the Pebble watch, I’ve been excited to see what would be announced. Now we know!
Two models have been unveiled on the RePebble site; the Core 2 Duo and Core Time 2 – each the spiritual successors to the original Pebble smartwatches.
And things have once again been kept incredibly simple.
Pricing might seem a little high (one being almost £200 when converted to UK pounds), and some of the details announced this week may be subject to change (as well as the shopping dates) but you can place an order, then cancel at any time between now and when you’ll be asked to confirm your final order.
Each model (Core 2 Duo available in black or white, the Core Time 2 colours to be confirmed) has just 10,000 units available to begin with – and already the Core 2 Duo models are showing as shipping in August now – so you should get a move on if you want in on the deal!
While this isn’t a Kickstarter deal, consider the pre-order to be a confirmation of your intent to buy (you will be charged the full amount) but without a solid commitment and the ability to change your mind at no cost.
So what are the two models actually going to be? Well check the specs below. Pricing is in US dollars, but will be translated to local currency when you order. Shipping to other countries will be extra too ($25 to the United Kingdom).
