Pebble has returned to the helm of things by announcing the Pebble 2 and Pebble Time 2 smartwatches, along with a separate device, the Pebble Core, for runners and hackers. The company returned to Kickstarter to announce these new devices and start its third kickstarter campaign. The company may not actually need funding to make these devices, but those who pre-order the devices via Kickstarter will get them at a discount. Pebble announced that it was phasing out the original Pebble, Pebble Time, Pebble Steel, andPebble Time Steel watches, while leaving Time Round’s return in the dark. The major change in the Pebble 2 and Pebble Time 2 is the inclusion of a heart-rate sensor that continuously measures your heart rate both at active as well as resting states. The company has shifted it’s focus to health and fitness tracking because it was the second most used feature on smart devices, apart from communication, according to CEO Eric Migicovsky, as reported by Engadget. Along with the inclusion of a heart-rate sensor there have been minor changes, like a slightly thinner profile for the devices along with a reduced bezel size. For the full article click here
