The Pebble Time 2 has a 1.5-inch, 64-color e-paper screen, with a touchscreen, metal frame, heart-rate monitor and (it&#8217;s claimed) up to 30 days of battery life.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 engadget-charcoal\">The frame is a bit more curved than on pre-production versions of the Pebble Time 2. The top and bottom buttons on the right side are now angled rather than sitting in a straight line with the center one. With the strap attached, the Pebble Time 2 weighs about 48 grams, and the body is about 32.5 grams.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 engadget-charcoal\">Core Designs has added more features to the smartwatch as well. The Pebble Time 2&#8217;s front, rear and buttons will be made using 316 stainless steel. It will also have a multicolor RGB LED backlight, compass sensor and screw-mounted back cover. In addition, the team has incorporated a second microphone, which Migicovsky said could be used to potentially support environmental noise cancellation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 engadget-charcoal\">It was previously confirmed that the Pebble Time 2 would have a quick-release 22mm strap, flat hardened glass lens, step and sleep tracking and a speaker. The watch will also boast a vibration function and water resistance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 engadget-charcoal\">Core Designs plans to offer the Pebble Time 2 in four colorways, but the team hasn&#8217;t settled on the options yet. Once it has, it will email everyone who has pre-ordered the smartwatch and ask them to pick a color.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 engadget-charcoal\">The Pebble Time 2 is currently scheduled to start shipping in December and it will cost $225 (the $149 Pebble Duo 2 became available last month).

As such, they were able to start using the Pebble branding again and renamed what were previously called the Core 2 Duo and Core Time 2.<\/p>\n<p><a data-ylk=\"elm:affiliate_link;itc:0;sec:mini-product;aid:manual_9742978a-07ef-4d18-ba44-8e31b6bd0f43_1755105426065;cpos:1;itmId:$225;ll3:product-available;ll4:productoffer-manual;pid:manual_9742978a-07ef-4d18-ba44-8e31b6bd0f43_1755105426065;pdid:Pebble Time 2;subsec:commlist;elmt:chooseForMe;itemcost:$225;sellerN:Core Designs;pkgt:horizontal-img;pos:1;slk:See at Core Designs;\" href=\"https:\/\/shopping.yahoo.com\/rdlw?siteId=us-engadget&amp;pageId=pnr-product-module&amp;contentUuid=9742978a-07ef-4d18-ba44-8e31b6bd0f43&amp;featureId=manual-entry&amp;itemName=Pebble+Time+2&amp;custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3N0b3JlLnJlcGViYmxlLmNvbS8iLCJjb250ZW50VXVpZCI6Ijk3NDI5NzhhLTA3ZWYtNGQxOC1iYTQ0LThlMzFiNmJkMGY0MyIsIm9yaWdpbmFsVXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9zdG9yZS5yZXBlYmJsZS5jb20vIn0&amp;signature=AQAAATXG18CxHIhrtDcH-Fs1FYdsaDzNSrzGJ9Ry8uHl7Av6&amp;gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fstore.repebble.com%2F\" class=\"rapid-with-clickid mr-4 h-[78px] w-[104px] shrink-0 overflow-hidden rounded-lg border border-grey-hair @xl\/p:h-[90px] @xl\/p:w-[120px]\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Image for the mini product module\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Image for the mini product module\" class=\"h-full transition duration-300 ease-in-out object-contain focus:scale-105 group-[:hover:not(:has(.copyCouponCode:hover,.additionalMiniCTA:hover))]:scale-105\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/539bbd20-7869-11f0-bbfd-c1a92691a5ce.jpeg\" height=\"90\" width=\"120\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pebble creator Eric Migicovsky and his new company, Core Designs, have been beavering away on new e-paper smartwatches&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":67377,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[49,48,42740,195,61,42741],"class_list":["post-67376","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-gadgets","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-core-designs","tag-gadgets","tag-technology","tag-the-pebble"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67376","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=67376"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67376\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/67377"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=67376"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=67376"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=67376"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
