The countdown's nearly over but has Pebble already revealed its new smartwatch?
We told you last week that Pebble has got a mystery timer going on its website, counting down to 24 February and hopefully a shiny, new Pebble smartwatch.
Update: Pebble Time price, release date and specs
And now, thanks to Pebble itself (and a bit of digging from 9to5Google) it looks like we’ve been treated to a sneaky first look.
This looks to be the biggest update on the original Kickstarter device so far for the smartwatch company. A render of the new Pebble was found located on the company’s own domain, and appears to confirm the rumours that the next-gen smartwatch will sport a colour e-paper display.

If the details are correct, the new Pebble will be both wider and thinner than the original but it will remain non-touchscreen with physical buttons either side of the screen. We’re sure Pebble fans won’t be too bothered about that, especially as a similar 5 – 7 day battery life is also on the cards.
Just weeks ago, Pebble CEO Eric Migicovsky hinted at both new Pebble devices and a completely revamped software platform for 2015. The smartwatch already offers a no-frills alternative to Android Wear and the new device, which will be iOS compatible, will no doubt be cheaper than the Apple Watch too.
Hands on: Pebble Time Steel review
We haven’t got too long to wait for official confirmation – the Pebble countdown ends at 3pm UK time on 24 February.
