Pebble

The Index 01 ring – from the makers of the Pebble smartwatch – captures your ideas as you speak into it. It's meant to act as external memory for your brain, while lasting for years on a single-use battery that doesn't need recharging.

You can now pre-order your choice of two new PebbleOS-powered smartwatches with ePaper displays that are practically identical to their older offerings circa 2016. Hurry, though, because they'll only be made in limited numbers.

Eight years after Pebble wound down its beloved smartwatch business, the wearable is set to rise from the ashes and adorn your wrist in the near future. Its creator is building a small company to develop new watches just like the original.

With the Apple Watch 2.0 rumored to be arriving alongside the iPhone 7, we're yet to see smartwatch sales hit the heights that seemed possible when the first Apple timepiece launched in March 2015. Can the new model get us interested in the smartwatch again? Or has its time already passed?

From today, Gizmag is known as New Atlas, and we thought the moment warranted a look back at some of the key developments that have impacted our personal lives throughout our 15 year history. Join us as we revisit the 21st century's most innovative tech products in mobile, wearable and gaming.​​

Pebble has returned to Kickstarter for the third time as it launches the Pebble 2, Pebble Time 2 and Pebble Core wearables. That's an upgrade for both of Pebble's main smartwatches, plus a brand new fitness focused wearable.

One way of adding extra functionality to smartwatches is to build it into third-party straps, and the TYLT VÜ Pulse is one of the first officially approved Pebble smartstraps to break cover. It adds integrated heart rate monitoring, wireless charging and a custom app for logging the new data.

Pebble has been something of a pioneer in smartwatches. The company's latest smartwatch has one killer feature, but its pricing puts it in the Bermuda triangle of smartwatches.

With the Apple Watch giving smartwatches their first moment in the mainstream spotlight, maybe you're wondering what your best options are. Look no further, as Gizmag compares the best smartwatches you can buy today.

With the retail version of Pebble Time launching, maybe you're torn between it and the Apple Watch? Let's compare the features and specs of the two smartwatches.

Pebble has been something of a pioneer in the smartwatch space, becoming a Kickstarter darling in 2012 and following through with what was arguably the first successful wearable. But with bigger companies now leading in the space, is there still room for the crowdfunded underdog?

When Pebble announced its Kickstarter record-shattering Pebble Time smartwatch (and its Steel counterpart), one part of the announcement that was easy to miss was its smartstraps. Today Pebble is doubling down on the initiative, pledging US$1 million to fund smartstrap development.
