This just hit Kickstarter and it's already at $300k+ in funding. I bet it hits is $1m goal before 8am PT. The watch is more fitness-focused but I'm more curious about the Core a internet-connected, "hackable computer on your keychain". Some use cases: track your pet, open your garage, call an Uber, record voice notes. Any plans to integrate Alexa or Google Assistant to make the Core essentially an assistant you can talk to, @ericmigi?

The last time they launched a Kickstarter I made this little website to graph how much money they've raised in real-time. I just updated it to this new Kickstarter: http://pebbletimetracker.herokua... Just the last few minutes:

Love the idea of Pebble Core! Someone should hook it into IFTTT...

Ugh, here I go again backing my third pebble watch on Kickstarter.

Is going UP UP UP UP UPPPP

Looks great, but was expecting a more significant discount on the Time 2 for early backers.

I know the Kickstarter path works well for them, but a part of me hates seeing KS so shamelessly used as a PR vehicle. We all know they could do all of this without resorting to a campaign.

Think it's pretty silly they're still on kickstarter... as if they need a kick start. Time 2 looks cool though.

Man, these things keep getting better. I still recall seeing an early model at Old Pro; I have to remind myself that a small, yet formidable team are mostly up against multi-$B hardware companies. Excited to see the lightweight OS continue to get improved and be an alternative in market. Go Eric & Team Go!

You should watch kickstarter. So much fun to see how it is raising :)

I can't believe how they raise money on kickstarter...

This is really great and love to see this. :) I was one of the original backers when it first launched on kickstarter and have a question about fulfillment. What have you learned from previous launches that will ensure you can keep your promise on this delivery date?

Don't we all wish we could sell product at this rate? 😂

This is hitting like a meter. I never saw anything like this before. Awesome!

"Core streams music from Spotify* and syncs GPS data with Runkeeper*, Strava* and Under Armour Record*. " Wow, that alone is a great feature. Wasn't there a kickstarter hunted recently focused on building a Spotify-only-device? This can't be good news for them.

The funding this campaign is getting is incredible. They are already at $3m. Just watching the demo video on the Kickstarter page, I can see the amount incrementing almost $1000 every couple of seconds. I would love to see a breakdown analysis of their first and second campaign. Especially on what were the key components to their crowdfunding success.

@ericmigi Will the @FitPayInc smartstrap (and other Pebble smartstraps) for the Pebble Time work with the Pebble Time 2?

Never seen any project backed that fast on kickstarter, wow! *mind blown*

This is a record breaker, once again. Pebble knows what works for them, and 6% or whatever to Kickstarter is just the cost of doing business. 👍💯
