Comment on The Pebble Has Been Brought Back

  Quote is from Wikipedia. You can see it’s the case for both models here:

  • Pebble
  • Pebble Time

  Besides, I own a Pebble Time watch and can tell you it doesn’t perform like a typical e-paper. It has the bad viewing angles of LCD and screen goes blank when power is lost.

    That quote is on under features on the article for the original Pebble, right? Might be that the Pebble 2 used a different screen; I can’t really find info on that though.

      From the Verge article:

      The first watch that Migicovsky and Core plan to ship is called the Core 2 Duo (not to be confused with the old Intel processor), which Migicovsky says will cost $149 and will ship in July. […] It has the exact same black-and-white e-paper display as the old Pebble 2 (technically a transflective LCD, if you’re curious)
