Pebble cements its smartwatch legacy as Google shares source code with the community

Android Authority –

  • Google has released the source code for the Pebble watch on GitHub.
  • This comes a little over 8 years after Pebble ceased operations.
  • With the source code, developers can not only implement alternative operating systems for existing Pebble watches but also develop new hardware running Pebble OS.

Many of the best smartwatches on the market last a day or two at most, a far cry from the week-long battery life that Pebble watches boasted over a decade ago. This is precisely why many people still use their Pebble watches, even though the watches were discontinued around 2016. Community-led efforts have valiantly kept Pebble watches alive all these years, but they have been hampered by a lack of access to the devices’ source code. Thankfully, Google has just released the source code for the Pebble watch, giving developers a chance to continue development.

Pebble, a Kickstarter startup, emerged in the early 2010s with smartwatches that met the needs of many users. The brand distinguished itself by using e-paper-like reflective LCDs, displays that reflect ambient light. Thanks to their e-paper-like displays, Pebble watches offered always-on screens that were readable in direct sunlight. The designs of Pebble watches were minimalist and functional, making them quite popular among a broad demographic. Furthermore, their simple OS and power-efficient processor allowed them to achieve up to a week of battery life on a single charge. Despite the simple OS, the software platform was open and easy to work with, which attracted developers to create a wide range of apps and watch faces.
