Pebble Revival Faces Community Dispute as Rebble Accuses Founder Over Use of Its Work

Rebble says terms of cooperation with Core Devices have broken down, raising concerns over a closed ecosystem.

Overview

  • Rebble publicly accuses Pebble founder Eric Migicovsky of “stealing” the community’s work and warns of a potential “walled garden” that could limit open development.
  • The group says an initial plan to collaborate with Core Devices fell apart over the terms of cooperation.
  • Migicovsky reports that about 70% of Pebble 2 Duo units have been delivered, with remaining orders in transit or preparing to ship.
  • He has relaunched a Pebble app store for early backers to install new watch faces, apps, and games on the revived watches.
  • Android Authority describes the dispute as a developing roadblock, with no publicly disclosed agreement or legal resolution yet.
