Pebble Officially Launches Smart Wearable's in India

BENGALURU: As Indian customers continue to become more tech-savvy than ever, smartphone and accessory makers are seeing India as a gold mine for investment. On the flipside, buyers are always on the lookout for more technologically advanced wearable gadgets at a low cost. Similar to many other foreign mobile and accessories manufacturers, Pebble Technology Corp, the first smartwatch maker, has made its way to Indian marketplace with its smartwatch range— Pebble Classic, Pebble Time, Pebble Time Steel and Pebble Time Round as featured by Kunal Dua for NDTV Gadgets.

Although earlier Indian customers could order Pebble watches through pebble’s official website, they had to face hassle of paying in U.S. dollars along with custom duties. But with this official launch, Pebble watches are now exclusively available at Amazon India portal via cash on delivery option also. The Pebble range starts at Rs 5,999 for Pebble Classic followed by Pebble Time, Pebble Time Steel and Pebble Time Round at Rs 9,999, Rs 13,599 and Rs 15,999 respectively. “Indian users have always been open to adopt new technologies especially in mobile. In conjunction with our India launch, we are looking at establishing a connected community of users and developers in India,” says Eric Migicovsky, Founder & CEO, Pebble to Krishna Bahirwani for DNAindia.

Pebble Smartwatches have an e-ink display and are compatible with both Android and the iPhone. While the Classic comes with a black-and-white display, the Time range of devices sports a colour display with LED backlight. The Pebble watches have a dedicated app store, which supports over 13,000 apps and watch faces. Pebble Time and Pebble Time Steel comes with Pebble Health. It provides users enhanced information via graphs on the companion smartphone app, better auto-detection of runs and long walks, personalized insights and Smart Alarms.

The Pebble CEO added that there are over 20,000 Pebble users in India currently, and with an official online presence in India, the company hopes to capture a bigger share of the Indian market.
