Pebble has returned to Kickstarter with three new next-gen wearable products. The popular smartwatch maker has unveiled Pebble 2 and Pebble Time 2 smartwatches that comes with heart rate sensors, along with the Pebble Core fitness tracker, that doubles as music player.

The Pebble 2 sports a 1.26-inch e-paper display with Corning Gorilla glass on top and offers seven days battery life. The Pebble Time 2 offers the same feature as Pebble 2, but sports a sleeker design, steel body, a higher-resolution display, a silicon rubber strap and 10 days of battery life.

The Pebble Core is a clip-on wearable device (without display), aimed at runners to track their distance. It feature 3G modem (via SIM card), GPS tracking, 4GB internal storage, built-in headphone jack, Bluetooth, WiFi and wireless charging. The wearable can stream Spotify playlists over 3G and WiFi and can also book an Uber ride with a click. The Core offer 9 hours of music playback with GPS activated on a single charge.
