Pebble revealed the Pebble Time, a new smartwatch in its line of devices that includes the company's first color-based display and introduces a thinner, better design than the previous model. Pebble promises that power usage of the new device is greatly lowered thanks to the e-paper display, giving the Pebble Time a battery life of up to a week. The company also introduced a new voice control feature to send voice replies or take notes using a select few compatible apps. The feature is a bit more full fledged on Android, and on iOS currently will only work with Gmail notifications. The Pebble Time also features a new curved design to ergonomically conform to any wrist, and is about 20% slimmer than the original Pebble. The company says the lens is made of scratch-resistant Gorilla Glass with a stainless steel bezel, enabling a water resistant device that Pebble still warns from being fully submerged. Those interested can visit the Pebble Time's Kickstarter page to claim their own rewards. The lowest pledge for the device begins at $159 for one watch with limited early bird pricing, and ramps up from there. Retail pricing will be set at $199. What do you think of the Pebble Time ? Will it do better then the Apple Watch ? Does one even compare to the other ?
