The Pebble watch is making a comeback now, in 2025. It's an improbable turn of events after the Kickstarter-launched watch company created by Eric Migicovsky was eaten up in a tech turducken, acquired by Fitbit, followed by Fitbit getting acquired by Google.

Ehh, I think I'll pass.

Edit: I should've read the entire article, and not stopped after seeing "Google."

Read a bit further

Migicovsky, Pebble's founder, is starting a new company focused on gadgets like the Pebble. He's starting with a single new Pebble model that will run the old OS and be hackable for new apps and ideas.

Didn't he sell out to fitbit and all the pebble employees lost their jobs?

The company was insolvent, when it was taken over by Fitbit. That's not selling out.
