Pebble says we’re ‘in for a treat’ — Will it be a new smartwatch?

Pebble hasn’t released any new products for a few months, but it seems as though that’s about to change — the company has begun teasing a big reveal for Tuesday.

A countdown now appears on the company’s homepage, and once that countdown reaches zero, we’ll presumably see a new Pebble product. Unfortunately, there isn’t any information about what the product is, but you can give Pebble your email to be notified of whatever the news is once it arrives.

The timer on the website is counting down to 10 a.m. EDT Tuesday, which is when, according to the website, we’re “in for a treat.”

So what exactly will we see at the end of the countdown? It could be literally anything at this point. Pebble tweeted a picture of an hourglass on a Pebble watch with the caption: “Everything’s better with friends.” Gee, thanks Pebble, that gives us absolutely no new information.

The obvious assumption is that the announcement will be of a new watch. Pebble is a smartwatch company, and unless it’s planning on getting into a new market, a smartwatch reveal makes sense. Of course, the countdown could also be for a major software update to the Pebble watches, or perhaps a big sale on its devices. All of those options would certainly count as a “treat.”

Last year was a big year for Pebble — we saw the company’s first color watch in the Pebble Time, as well as its first circular watch in the Pebble Time Round. It will be interesting to see if Pebble is able to continue that momentum this year.

Stay tuned for more information on Pebble’s big reveal.

Let us know in the comments section what you think we could be in for from Pebble tomorrow.

We’re finally getting a 4K OLED gaming monitor, and it’s coming soon
The Dough Spectrum Black 32-inch monitor over a grey background.

Dough has just unveiled an interesting monitor. The Spectrum Black is a 32-inch 4K OLED screen that also serves up 240Hz refresh rates. Those specs might make it one of the best gaming monitors in 2024, and it's not that far off, as it's slated for an April 2024 release. And, if the stars align, it looks like Dough's display might be the first of its kind to come out.

The monitor has a simple design, but it's the specs that make it stand out. On paper, it sounds like a solid gaming monitor, with 0.03ms gray-to-gray response times and the aforementioned high refresh rates. Locked in a 32-inch screen, it should provide sharp imagery and solid contrasts, as it's VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400-certified.
