Get Pebble

Meet Pebble

Pebble is an infinitely customizable e-paper watch.

Download new watchfaces, use sports and fitness apps, and get notifications from your phone.

We think the ability to create and use apps is one of Pebble’s most exciting features, and we want to make the app experience on Pebble as seamless as possible. So, drawing on our experience with our previous generation inPulse smartwatch, we’re designing Pebble from the ground up with third party apps in mind. inPulse’s SDK has been popular despite a serious limitation: only one app could be installed and used at a time.

 Not so with Pebble. Get Pebble will have an application switcher built in, as well as a real-time operating system so that core functionality such as notifications and the music player remote control can remain available even while an app is in use. To support the demands of multiple (and more advanced) applications, Pebble’s ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller will have 8 times more Flash memory and 12 times more RAM than inPulse.

Check Out the Pebble Watch on Kickstarter

Forget skipping Pebbles Watch  – the real 21st-century geek wears them. Not real rocky pebbles, of course, but Kickstarted e-paper, Bluetooth-enabled watches that just happen to be called Pebbles. If you were intrigued by the idea of wearing an iPod Nano on your wrist, but wanted to hold out for something a little more functional, this could be exactly what you were waiting for.

The Pebble Watch can pair (via Bluetooth) with your iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4/S on iOS 5 to display the time, control music playback, display run information, and even inform you of incoming calls, e-mails, or texts. The e-paper display should be more readable than a run-of-the-mill LCD in a direct sunlight, and the Pebble has enough juice to last for about a week on a single charge.

 There’s a lot more information on the Pebble Kickstarter page, and based on the fact that the project already achieved its goal within two hours, it looks like there’s a pretty good chance we’ll actually see the Pebble Watch in Fall 2012 (which is really just a stone’s throw away, isn’t it?). As for myself, I’ll be waiting a little bit before deciding on whether or not to back the project for $115. I really like the idea, but I’m also wondering if I’d be willing to part with 5–10% of my 4S’ battery life as a result of pairing with the watch. Bluetooth doesn’t drain a ton of battery, but the 4S isn’t exactly stellar when it comes to lasting all day.

Pebble: E-Paper Watch for iPhone and Android

We're absolutely blown away by your support, Kickstarter! $100k in 2 hours must be a new record...

Customize Your Perfect Watch. It's as Easy as Downloading an App.

Pebble is the first watch built for the 21st century. It's infinitely customizable, with beautiful downloadable watchfaces and useful internet-connected apps. Pebble connects to iPhone and Android smartphones using Bluetooth, alerting you with a silent vibration to incoming calls, emails and messages. While designing Pebble, we strove to create a minimalist yet fashionable product that seamlessly blends into everyday life. 

CUSTOMIZE WITH APPS

Apps bring Pebble to life. We're building some amazing apps for Pebble. Cyclists can use Pebble as a bike computer, accessing the GPS on your smartphone to display speed, distance and pace data. Runners get a similar set of data displayed on their wrist. Use the music control app to play, pause or skip tracks on your phone with the touch of a button. If you're a golfer, feel free to bring Pebble onto the course. We're working with Freecaddie to create a great golf rangefinder app for Pebble that works on over 25,000 courses world-wide. Instead of using your phone, view your current distance to the green right on your wrist. These apps will be the first, with more in the works!  

 

CUSTOMIZE WITH WATCHFACES

Pebble can change instantly, thanks to its brilliant, outdoor-readable electronic-paper (e-paper) display. We've designed tons of watchfaces already, with more coming every day. Choose your favourite watchfaces using Pebble's iPhone or Android app. Then as the day progresses, effortlessly switch to the one that matches your mood, activity or outfit. 

CUSTOMIZE WITH NOTIFICATIONS

If you need to stay on top of things, Pebble can help with vibrating notifications, messages and alerts. Dismiss a notification with a shake of your wrist. Don't worry, it's easy to disable all notifications.

• Incoming Caller ID
• Email (Gmail or any IMAP email account)
• Calendar Alerts
• Facebook Messages
• Twitter
• Weather Alerts
• Silent vibrating alarm and timer

Android users can also receive Text Messages (SMS) on their Pebble. Unfortunately iPhone does not expose this data. Have any suggestions for other notification types? Leave us a message in the comments! 

 

CUSTOMIZE BY CODING

Want your watch to tell you when your next bus is leaving? Maybe your jonesing to see your compile status or recent github commits.. Think push notifications, directly to your watch using the data connection on your phone. Want to check-in on your watch, or create an app that can monitor your sleep? Pebble can send data from the accelerometer and buttons back up to the internet. 

Pebble can receive simple alerts and notifications from if this then that(ifttt.com) or our web-facing RESTful endpoint. More adventurous developers can use the Pebble SDK, with its Arduino-like abstractions and simple C structure, to gain full control of the watch. Multiple apps can run on Pebble, along side watchfaces and regular notifications.

• Load apps using Bluetooth 
• 144 x 168 pixel display black and white e-paper
• Bluetooth 2.1+ EDR
• 4 buttons
• Vibrating motor
• 3 axis accelerometer with gesture detection
• Distribute apps via Pebble watchapp store

Detailed SDK specs are available on our Pebble Dev Blog. 

How does it work?

Pebble connects by Bluetooth to your iPhone or Android device. Setting up Pebble is as easy as downloading the Pebble app onto your phone. All software updates are wirelessly transmitted to your Pebble.

Compatibility

• iPhone 3GS, 4, 4S running iOS 5 or any iPod Touch with iOS 5.
• Android devices running OS 2.3 and up. Works great with Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich)!

Unfortunately Pebble does not work with Blackberry, Windows Phone 7, or Palm phones at this time.

Where we're at

We’ve been working on smartwatches for over 3 years now. The Pebble that you see in the video is a real, working prototype.

With your support, we can bring Pebble onto wrists worldwide. While we're close to entering production, your contribution will help fund:

- Production tooling
- Large component order
- Global Bluetooth certification

REWARDS

Each Pebble has a textured plastic case, shatter resistant lens with an anti-reflective optical coating and a custom-designed 22mm rubber strap. You'll also receive a special USB cable that recharges the watch.

Color Option: Voter's Choice You're part of the design process! Three color options are already set: Arctic White, Jet Black and Cherry Red. If you back any of the color options, we'll email you a survey after the project closes so you can vote on a new, 4th color option. Later on, we'll email you again asking which of the final color options you'd like to select. Even if you don't like the Voter's Choice, you'll be able to choose from Red/White/Black.
