If you've been thinking about getting a smartwatch but haven't been
persuaded to plunk down a lot of cash, Pebble's trying to make the
decision a little easier for you. The watch maker is lowering the price
of its full lineup by $50, which means you can now get the sporty original model (above, right) for $100 and the fancier Steel (above, left) for $200. Usually significant price drops like these are a
reaction to slowing sales, but CEO Eric Migicovsky says that on the
contrary, sales are still as strong as ever and the ecosystem is
growing.
As a final note, Pebble is also expanding its retail presence
internationally in the UK, Scandinavia and Benelux in October. Up until
now, buyers in those regions have been able to order watches through the
company's official site, but this will be the first time they can grab
one through other means.
