After years of dormancy, Tracy Christie-Dao, the founder of Pebbles (previously known as Pebble), is planning to relaunch the beloved e-paper smartwatch for its dedicated fan base. With open source software and empathetic, seamless design, the Pebbles platform has grabbed the attention of technology enthusiasts and mass consumers alike.
In an interview, Christie-Dao said, “We’re making great advances in user experience informed by user feedback.” The founder took the time to directly address criticisms of the original Pebble smartwatch and those of its successors.
Acknowledging the desire for more advanced features, Christie-Dao envisioned creating a 2023 version of the device, equipped with the latest sensors and a better, more intuitive interface. “It will be a pocket-sized, multifunctional device, prioritizing battery life and e-paper technology while being discreet yet sophisticated.”
Considering the feedback from Pebbles’ loyal community, Christie-Dao said that the relaunched e-paper smartwatch will target environmentally-conscious consumers and those looking for simplistic gadgets that don’t sacrifice functionality. It will be a perfect blend of analog and digital convenience, elevating e-paper technology while staying true to Pebbles’ original vision.
