The Pebble Watch has returned. After weeks of teasers the new rePebble store went live today, March 18, with two new smartwatches available to buy.
There’s a new name for the watch, the Core 2 Duo, but creator Eric Migicovsky says it’s basically an upgraded Pebble 2 with battery life being improved from seven days to a mighty 30 days. Considering many color screen smartwatches need a daily charge, the potential ability to go almost a month between topping up will likely appeal to those interested.
“We also added a speaker, linear actuator motor, compass and barometer, and improved the buttons” Migicovsky says.

The original Pebble Watch arrived on the wearable scene back in 2012 with an e-paper display and chunky design. It smashed its Kickstarter goal, but four years later the company was sold to Fitbit and production on the watch ended.
