Smartwatch: The Surprising Comeback of a Legend
Remember Pebble? Back in the day, this groundbreaking smartwatch raised millions on Kickstarter. Instead of a touchscreen, it featured an e-paper display, prioritizing ultra-long battery life. Paired with a smartphone, it delivered notifications for calls and messages straight to your wrist—way back in 2012, nearly 13 years ago. Unfortunately, Pebble’s journey came to an abrupt end in late 2016 with its insolvency. The intellectual property was acquired by Fitbit, now a Google subsidiary, but the innovative Pebble tech never truly found its place there.
