About Pebble Smartwatch
Pebble is a series of smartwatches sold by Pebble Technology Corporation of Palo Alto, California from 2013 until 2016, and by Core Devices since 2025. Created by Eric Migicovsky, Pebble was initially funded through a Kickstarter campaign in 2012, and was the most funded project in Kickstarter's history at the time. Pebble smartwatches are notable for their e-paper displays, which display the time using stylized digital watch faces, and display messages and notifications from connected Android and iOS devices. They are also capable of running downloadable apps, which are used for a wide variety of functions. The original Pebble watch featured a black-and-white screen and a plastic body; it was followed in 2014 by the Pebble Steel, a stainless steel-bodied version with a glass screen.
