If you remember how much we loved the original Pebble from our earlier review, it should come as no surprise that we are excited to eventually get our hands on the newly announced Pebble Time on Kickstarter. The Pebble Time sports a color e-ink display with 7 day battery life.
The Kickstarter for the Pebble time showed up earlier today with a $500,000 goal by March 24, 2015. Within 24 hours, it has far exceeded that goal and is currently around $7.7M as of this writing. Apparently, this has set a bunch of new Kickstarter records.
What makes the Pebble so appealing is it's use on both popular mobile platforms, iOS and Android. The longer battery life of 7 days requires less charge time compared to its competitors which see 1-2 at most. We'll see how it fares against the almighty Apple Watch which is due in April.
We'll keep you posted with a review down the road!
