Over 1 million units of the Pebble smartwatch sold so far; New wearables on their way

The Pebble was one of the first smartwatches to go mainstream and take the world by surprise. The company has now announced that it has sold over 1 million units of its smartwatch as of 31st December 2014.

The news was shared by Pebble CEO Eric Migicovsky. This is a massive accomplishment for something that started off as a crowd funded project on Kickstarter.

On the eve of this announcement, the company also mentioned that there will be new smartwatches coming soon, further adding to the excitement of the fans and owners.

The company said that there will be new software for the smartwatches, which will be unlike anything we’ve seen on Pebble before. Given that the Pebble currently faces competition from Google’s Android Wear platform, it behooves the company to try something new.

Perhaps Pebble will finally make the shift from e-ink displays to proper LCD panels so as to remain competitive in the business. With Apple expected to launch its smartwatch sometime this Spring, Pebble will have some serious contenders to deal with.

There is no word on what this new software and hardware combination will bring to the table. The company expects to divulge more details sometime later this year.
