- Google is making the code for now-discontinued smartwatch Pebble available to download
- Pebble founder Eric Migicovsky claims to be working on a new smartwatch using PebbleOS
- The smartwatch is still in early development, but will adhere to Pebble’s core tenets
Before the Apple Watch, before the Samsung Galaxy Watch, and before the Google Pixel Watch, there was Pebble. The iconic smartwatch was eventually bought by Fitbit and discontinued in 2016 (and in a cruel twist, the same fate befell many of the best Fitbits after Fitbit was bought by Google), but many users still have fond memories of their Pebbles, and an active community of users are still maintaining functional Pebbles.
