Hey everyone! In this video, I dive into the Pebble Core Duo, a modern take on the classic Pebble devices. I walk through the setup process (spoiler: you’ll need a smart device like the Jelly Star, Minimal Phone, or even a compatible flip phone), share my thoughts on its E Ink screen and standout battery life, and show how I use it for workouts, calendar notifications, and even music control. I cover its unique features—like customizable apps, activity tracking, and convenient tools like a compass—while emphasizing its intentional, distraction-free design. If you’re looking for a utility-focused device that won’t drain your battery or hijack your attention, you’ll want to check out my review! If you have questions, drop them in the comments and I’ll be sure to reply. Thanks for joining me!
