Pebble smartwatches are coming back, but would you actually buy one?

In between all sorts of panic about DeepSeek and an ongoing fight over what Google Maps should call the Gulf of Mexico, we had a bright spot of news this week. Pebble — arguably the gadget that led to our modern smartwatch — is making a comeback. Eric Migicovsky, the original Pebble founder known lately for his efforts with Beeper, announced the return of Pebble alongside a blog post from Google, which received the company's remains as part of its Fitbit buyout. Not only is PebbleOS going open-source, but we could be looking at new hardware very, very soon.
