Following an early preview in March, the final design of the Pebble Time 2 reboot has been revealed alongside information about the build.

The Pebble Time 2, the first time around, was supposed to be the brand’s most premium smartwatch to date. It would have featured a color e-ink display, a premium metal build, and more. That’s exactly what the reboot, previously known as Core Time 2 and now as Pebble Time 2, is striving to recreate.

In a new episode of his podcast “Tick Talk,” original Pebble founder Eric Migicovsky discusses the progress being made on the revival. This time around, the main topic is Pebble Time 2 and its “final design,” which sees a considerable redesign compared to what was shown off earlier this year. The new look has some added curves, color accents, knurled buttons, and a stunning overall look.

It’ll be available in black and silver colors, as opposed to the black and white previously shown off. In between the metal portions of the build, a polycarbonate layer will allow the radios to work properly, while also adding a blue or red accent to the design. Apparently, there are four total color options on the table, but they’re not final just yet. Anyone who has placed a pre-order will get the choice of what color they want.

The new Pebble Time 2 will be made from stainless steel, in particular the same steel material that the original Pebble Steel was built from. It also has transitioned to a flat glass panel versus the curved finish that was used on prior Pebble watches, lessening reflections. The backlight on this model is also more advanced, with an RGB LED that allows the user to control the backlight color so it’s not always “blue-ish.” Migicovsky says that this will allow the color temperature to change through the day.

Another change since the Pebble Time 2 reboot was first announced is that the Time will have a built-in compass after all.

Pebble Time 2 is available for pre-order at $225, though the final price may vary depending on where you live and the status of tariffs and other fees.
