Pebble Index 01 Ring
Overview
Eric Migicovsky, the founder of Pebble and the driving force behind its recent comeback, is developing a gadget for personal use: the Pebble Index 01 (referred to as Index). It is a $75 smart ring designed to be worn on the finger and to track activity, sleep, and heart rate.
Key Features
- Companion app – syncs data, displays notifications, and controls music playback.
- Design – minimalist matte‑black finish with a small LED indicator that lights up for alerts.
- Battery – up to three days of use; charges via an included magnetic dock.
Market Position
The Index is marketed as a more affordable alternative to existing smart rings, targeting users who want health‑tracking capabilities without the premium price of competitors.
Availability
Pebble plans to release the ring later this year, with pre‑orders opening soon.
