The Core smartwatches have been unveiled by Core Devices from Eric Migicovsky as a modern wearable that takes inspiration from the Pebble smartwatches. The wearables include the Core 2 Duo and the Core Time 2, which each run PebbleOS thanks to it being transitioned to open source by Google who owns the operating system.
The Core 2 Duo has a 1.2-inch black and white e-paper display with a polycarbonate frame, barometer and compass within, while the Core Time 2 has a 1.5-inch 64 color e-paper display, heart rate monitor and more.
The Core smartwatches are priced starting at $149 and are available now for preorder with shipments slated to start in July. The wearables are rated to offer up to 30 days of use per charge.
