- Pebble teases a larger smartwatch message
- A countdown lesson on its website confirms that there is a reveal coming on March 18

Just weeks after confirming that the iconic smartwatch would return, Pebble is teasing a major message for March 18 with a countdown lesson on its website.
9to5Google reports that the company sent an E email to those who signed up for updates on the company’s expected new project saying:
Time to get excited!
Set your alarm until March 18 (tomorrow!) 9 pdt – 12 noon EDT – 16:00 GMT – 21:30 Ist – Midnight CST – 1 AM JST

Pebble teases greater message
As for what Pebble will announce on March 18, it’s impossible to say, but we have some ideas based on what the company has already said this year.
In January, Google Pebble’s source code provided for download, and founder Eric Migicovsky confirmed he was working on a new smartwatch using Pebbleos shortly after.
In February, he confirmed that his latest project would be “a stone and almost exactly as you remember it.” He has also confirmed that it will contain the always-on-paper screen, long battery life, buttons, simple user experience and hackability that made the original pebble line so iconic.
“Please don’t get your hopes that the new watch has X/Y/Z new feature,” he said in February. “It will be a stone and almost exactly as you remember it except now with open source software, as you can change and improve yourself. More hardware information will be shared in the future.”
With Pebble’s announcement only a few hours away, we don’t have long to wait and find out what the company has in store.
