Pebble 2 and Pebble 2 SE
Pebble has announced the successor to its once
popular smartwatch, the Pebble 2. There are two versions
of it, the Pebble 2 and the Pebble 2 SE.
The Pebble 2 is the more expensive model and
includes a heart rate monitor. It also tracks your movements and your sleep,
and all of this information can then be tracked using the Apple Health or
Google Fit apps. It includes a microphone so you can use dictation to reply to
messages, even on iOS. It also does other smartwatch things, such as showing
your notifications, letting you interact with a sizable library of apps,
control your music, and more. The Pebble 2 is water resistant up to 30 meter so you
can go swimming with it. It uses an ePaper display, which gives it the amazing
7 day battery life that the original Pebble was known for. The 22 mm bands are
also user replaceable.
The Pebble 2 SE is pretty much identical to the
Pebble 2 but lacks a heart rate monitor and is thus a bit cheaper. The Pebble 2 is priced at US$ 129.99 and the Pebble 2
SE at US$ 99.99. The Pebble 2 is available for pre-order in five different colors
from Pebble's website and the Pebble 2 SE will be available in Jet Black
starting next month.
