The iconic Pebble smartwatch is poised for a significant comeback, with the Pebble 2 Duo set to ship imminently and the Pebble Appstore making a grand re-entry into the wearable tech landscape.
Pebble 2 Duo: Shipping Soon
Eric Migicovsky, the original founder of Pebble and the driving force behind its revival, recently announced that the Pebble 2 Duo is on the verge of reaching customers. In September, approximately 3,000 units of the white Pebble 2 Duo were produced and are currently en route to a fulfillment center. The black variant is also in production; however, its progress experienced slight delays due to holidays in China and Hong Kong. Customers who pre-ordered the device have been contacted over the past two weeks to confirm shipping details and other pertinent information. These orders are slated for dispatch within October 2025.

Revival of the Pebble Appstore
In tandem with the hardware launch, the Pebble Appstore has been rejuvenated to serve both the new smartwatches and existing models still in circulation. This revitalized platform boasts an extensive collection of over 2,000 applications and 10,000 watch faces tailored for Pebble devices. Accessible at apps.repebble.com, the store not only preserves the rich legacy of Pebble’s software ecosystem but also introduces new additions to enhance user experience. Existing Pebble smartwatch owners can utilize this updated store, along with the beta version of the refreshed Pebble app, ensuring compatibility across both legacy and new hardware.

A Brief History of Pebble’s Journey
Pebble’s resurgence is a testament to the brand’s enduring appeal and the dedication of its community. After its initial success, Pebble faced challenges, including its acquisition by Fitbit in 2016, which led to the discontinuation of several planned devices. However, the open-sourcing of PebbleOS earlier this year paved the way for this revival. Migicovsky’s efforts have not only brought back beloved devices but have also ensured that the software ecosystem remains vibrant and accessible.

Looking Ahead
The imminent shipping of the Pebble 2 Duo and the relaunch of the Appstore mark significant milestones in Pebble’s journey. These developments promise to deliver a blend of nostalgia and innovation to both long-time fans and new users, reaffirming Pebble’s position in the smartwatch market.
