Earlier this week, Pebble Time was unveiled. It found instant success and blew past its $500,000 crowdfunding goal within 17 minutes, later hitting $1 million in just over 40 minutes. Kickstarter pronounced many a record was broken from the new program.
The good fortune is continuing for Pebble Time as the campaign has now surpassed the $10,000,000 milestone with 30 days to go. However, while this number is certainly impressive, the more important number to watch is the growing list of backers, which is currently above 45,000. These individuals will help build out its platform and keep Pebble around for years to come. Last month, Pebble announced it has sold over 1 million Pebble smartwatches to date.
Pebble Time is the first colour smartwatch from Pebble, and comes with week-long battery, a body 20% thinner than the original versions, compatible with any 22mm band, and also runs its new Timeline UI.
