[PConline News] Pebble Time smartwatch that has returned to Kickstart platform this year has successfully raised $20 million, and is about to enter mass production. If you are a fan of the Pebble Time watch, then you can feel happy: Recently, Pebble announced that the Pebble Time watch will ship later this month.
Pebble recently announced the development of Pebble Time. The good news is that mass production will start later this week. Although this is a week later than originally planned, it is better than late. Pebble Time sponsors will receive the first products this month as soon as possible, while others will ship in early June. Next week, you can choose your favorite color.
The good news is that Pebble Time's e-ink screen provides a color screen, and Pebble claims that icon development is continuing. Its system applications include alarm clocks, calendars, music, announcements, sports, and settings. These options are given priority on the screen.
Pebble Time runs a modified Pebble system, adds a new timeline, and uses "time" as the system. Different from the previous scrolling application interface, the timeline is used in this system. The notifications, messages, and Google Now-like content are all fixed along the timeline, and they will expand after clicking on it. It looks like a mini app.
Like other Pebble watches, Pebble Time can support seven days of battery life, and users can wear it while swimming and bathing. The Pebble Time color e-paper screen refresh rate is higher than the Qualcomm Mirasol screen, which allows it to have better visibility in everyday light.
In terms of material, Pebble Time is made of plastic material, which is different from Pebble Steel which is made of all-metal. However, the Pebble Time's case edge is made of metal, but the plastic strap is still not so high-end.
Today, Pebble Time is 20% thinner than the previous Pebble watch and is now as low as 9.5mm, but it still looks thick due to its curved body, stainless steel frame, and gorilla glass screen.
In terms of selling price, in order to attract early adopters, Pebble Time is priced at $159 and $179 on the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter. When it finally goes public, the price of Pebble Time will be the same as that of Pebble Steel, which is 199 US dollars (about 1246 yuan).
Pebble will continue to sell the first generation of Pebble and Pebble Steel. Older devices will also be able to use the new timeline-based system later this year.
When Pebble Time returned to Kickstarter to raise funds, it took only 30 minutes to reach its initial crowdfunding goal. Now that Apple Watch is on the market, what is Pebble Time's competitiveness beyond supporters on Kickstarter? Let's wait and see together~
