Each device offers new ways for users to enjoy the company’s famous technology.

Each of the devices offers users Pebble’s unique technology:

  • Time 2: Described as a premium heart rate enabled stainless steel smartwatch with an updated color display.
  • Pebble Core: For runners, it is a flippable fitness device that lets users leave their phones at home.
