Google agreed to release Pebble OS to the public. As of Monday, all the Pebble firmware is available on GitHub, and Migicovsky is starting a company to pick up where he left off.

The company — which can’t be named Pebble because Google still owns that — doesn’t have a name yet. For now, Migicovsky is hosting a waitlist and news signup at a website called RePebble. Later this year, once the company has a name and access to all that Pebble software, the plan is to start shipping new wearables that look, feel, and work like the Pebbles of old.

        Well, on a screen so small, you’d always be limited in what can be shown. I definitely can add events to my Calendar on Galaxy Watch 6 though, the problem is if I’d ever want to do it from the watch or check them on it. I use it for reminders and notifications checking mostly, personally.

        Maybe it’s way more usable with Bixby or other voice assistants, but I’m really put off by the privacy and battery-draining aspects of those.
