We’re Pebble: Makers of the original smartwatch
In 2012, with the help of our Kickstarter community, Pebble launched the smartwatch industry with the first ever $10M Kickstarter campaign. In 2015 we did it again, reaching a record $20M.
To date, we have produced five amazing smartwatches, each widely acclaimed by the press and our users for their epic battery life and thoughtful design.
Today we’re back! We can’t wait to tell you what’s in store. We wholeheartedly invite you to join us in making Kickstarter and wearable history again.

Pebble Core: the ultra-wearable for running
Leave your phone at home
We all love our phones. But when you’re out for a run, strapping a big phone to your arm isn’t much fun. We built Core for a better running experience, to give you the benefits of your phone with none of the inconvenience.
Core is a lightweight, cellular-connected clip that replaces your phone entirely. It streams music from Spotify, tracks your pace, distance, and location with GPS, and can send an emergency SOS if needed.
Core for Running
Spotify: Keep motivated with your favorite tracks
Core streams music directly from Spotify, so you stay motivated and on pace. You can also use Core’s 4GB of built-in storage to access your favorite playlists, podcasts, and audiobooks.
GPS: Track your pace, distance, and location
Mid-step or post-run, reviewing your workout is key to maximizing your performance. Core has a built-in GPS to track your location wherever you may roam.
Core provides real-time stats via audio cues while exercising and syncs with Runkeeper, Strava, and other fitness apps over WiFi when you get back.
Voice Notes: Keep track of those great ideas
Exercise spurs creativity. Capture your brilliant ideas on the go with Core’s voice note functionality.
Emergency SOS: Houston we have a problem!
We hope you won’t need it, but if you’re ever stuck out on the road, Core can send an emergency SMS with your location (required SIM card and cellular data service not included).

Pebble 2 and Time 2: awesome smartwatch + amazing activity tracker
Fit, Connected, and In Command
Pebble helps you stay on top of your busy schedule, call a ride at the press of a button, and track your progress towards a healthy lifestyle. It's a smartwatch and fitness tracker in one–all at an amazing price that doesn’t break the bank.

Why buy a Pebble?
Notifications, activity tracking, and actions
Pebble keeps you connected, healthy, and in control.
Pebble invented the smartwatch, so we know a thing or two about what makes them useful. Here are a few things we excel at:
Notifications: Keep connected without the distractions
The average adult checks their phone over 150 times a day. That’s once every 6 minutes! With all that activity, it’s easy to get distracted from what you’re trying to accomplish.
Pebble helps you filter the noise by putting the important messages right on your wrist, letting you decide at a glance where and when you want to address them.
Timeline: Immediate access to the information you need
Where is your next appointment? What is todays weather? When is the next train home?
Pebble's timeline gives you immediate access to critical information, right on your wrist. It keeps you up to date and saves you oodles of time you would have spent rooting around in apps on your phone.
Activity Tracking: Stay healthy and active one step at a time
Keeping fit may seem like a chore, but you can stay active and healthy by simply getting out for a walk. All it takes is a quick reminder to get up and move.
Pebble features built-in activity tracking to keep you on top of your activity and fitness goals. Our Pebble Health software tailors these goals to you, accommodating changes in your daily schedule, to keep you motivated and encouraged.
Learn More about Pebble Health tools below
One-Click Actions: Immediate action on the things you do most
Pebble puts you in command with the introduction of One-Click Actions: simple, customizable tasks that live on your watch and let you take immediate action with a single button press.
Send a text message to Mom. Hail an Uber as you head to your next meeting. Order that favorite Tuesday night takeout dish. Whatever it is, One-Click Actions make it quick and convenient to do the things you do most*.
Pebble: A better smartwatch
At Pebble, we believe that a smartwatch needs to start as a great watch. The time should be visible at a glance. Battery life shouldn’t be a daily worry. The display should be readable in sunlight. And it should enjoy a dip in the pool*.
What you should expect when you buy a Pebble watch*:
Pebble: A better fitness tracker
It’s hard to find an affordable, long-lasting, heart rate-enabled fitness tracker that you can take in the pool–until now.In addition to tracking, Pebble Health provides a suite of tools that encourage incremental progress towards healthier living and keep you motivated every step of the way.
NEW Adaptive goals and scheduling
Our new Adaptive Goals tailor activity goals to fit you, keeping these goals within reach, but still challenging. Adaptive Goals ensures you won't get demotivated (and you won’t get bored!) as you make incremental progress.
Pebble Health also integrates with your calendar so you’ll never again find yourself “too busy” to get to the gym. Even with last-minute changes or unpredictable variations in your schedule, Pebble Health will find those free hours and help you take full advantage of them.
Health app
Always know how you’re doing--right on your wrist. A simple click delivers your basic health stats: steps, calories burned, active time, distance, resting heart rate, and even how much deep sleep you got last night.
Mobile graphs
Geek out with our beautiful, in-depth mobile charts. Daily, weekly, and monthly breakdowns show your average wake-up times, calories burned on long walks, changes in heart rate zones, and more.
Automatic activity classification
Pebble Health detects long walks and runs and sends you quick summaries immediately afterwards. This way, you get better visibility into how these activities help you stay active and boost your energy.
Sleep tracking and smart alarms
Pebble Health tracks when you fall asleep, wake up, and how much deep sleep you’re getting (that’s the really good stuff). Smart Alarms determine your optimal wake-up time based on your sleep cycle, so you’re less groggy and more energized to tackle the day.
Always open
Pebble Health syncs with Apple HealthKit and Google Fit, with plans to add more integrations over the next year.

Disclaimers
Notifications: Pebble smartwatches must be connected via Bluetooth to a smartphone with a live internet connection in order to receive notifications and perform other functions.
Heart rate monitor: Pebble devices with a heart rate (HR) monitor are intended to be a valuable tool that can provide an accurate estimation of the user’s heart rate. The HR monitor is designed to attempt to monitor a user’s heart rate on a periodic basis. The frequency at which heart rate is measured varies and depends on the level and activity of the user. Pebble smartwatches are not medical devices and you should not rely on the accuracy of heart rate data for any purpose, especially for medical or health purposes.
Battery life: Actual battery life will vary based in part on cellular network provider, your location and other factors.
Core battery life: Pebble Core is being designed to support up to 9 hours of location tracking and offline music. Your actual battery life may vary depending on many items including the final design of Pebble Core, your cellular carrier and connection and type of music streaming.
3G Connection: Streaming over 3G, sending emergency SOS messages over 3G, and all other 3G-related capabilities require an active 3G connection. A 3G connection requires a data-enabled SIM card (not included with Pebble Core) from a supported cellular carrier. Additional fees may be charged by your cellular carrier for the required 3G data service. Pebble Core is not compatible with all cellular carrier networks - check with your cellular carrier to see if Pebble Core will work on your preferred cellular network.
3rd party applications: For 3rd party applications that are not native to, or included with, Pebble’s operating software such as Uber and Spotify, you must have an account set up with these services to be able to use them with your Pebble device. Additional fees and costs may apply to any such services. Use of third party services is subject to the service’s own terms and conditions.
Wireless charging pad: Wireless charging pad is not included with Pebble Core.
Trademarks: Trademarks and names that belong to third parties.
Pebble Time Round and existing Pebble products: Water resistance and battery life claims vary by product. Not all Pebble products have a microphone, allow for voice notes and SMS replies.
Risks and challenges
Pebble 2 and Time 2 is nearly complete. We’re currently ramping up at our factory and are ready to meet the estimated delivery times.
We’ve done our very best to forecast demand and create a solid production plan. We’ve learned a lot from the past four years, but sometimes forecasts don’t always hit the mark. Should we miss projections, we’ll let you know why and make it right as quickly as possible.
Supply Chain Risk
We’ve spent the past four year building a very capable team who work hard to ensure smooth delivery of all our products. However, component delays and unexpected shortages can occur. If this happens, we’ll be sure to keep you informed and work to quickly solve the problem.
Terms and Conditions
Backers with EU shipping addresses will be responsible for paying duties and taxes at the time of shipping.
