About this entry
A defining entry in the Top 100 Tech. Sitting at number 27, Pebble Watch earned its place through a combination of craft, context, and consensus among the twenty-four editors who maintain this list. The companions immediately above and below it on this ranking are worth reading in the same sitting. The editors’ note placed it here on the basis of three criteria: durability across re-reads (or re-watches, or re-plays), influence on the entries that came after it, and the degree to which it could only have been made by the person — or team — who made it.
In the comparative table maintained by the Tech desk, Pebble Watch sits within a band of 24 – 30 that contains some of the most contested swaps of the year. Editors vote with arguments; a swap requires three editors and one written defense.
From Wikipedia
Pebble is a series of smartwatches sold by Pebble Technology Corporation of Palo Alto, California from 2013 until 2016, and by Core Devices since 2025. Created by Eric Migicovsky, Pebble was initially funded through a Kickstarter campaign in 2012, and was the most funded project in Kickstarter's history at the time. Pebble smartwatches are notable for their e-paper displays, which display the time using stylized digital watch faces, and display messages and notifications from connected Android and iOS devices. They are also capable of running downloadable apps, which are used for a wide variety of functions.
