Featuring a polished white exterior accompanied with interchangeable genuine cowhide leather straps in Aspen White and Midnight Black, the L Collection will retail exclusively at Singapore’s selected EpiCentre and EpiLife stores from 26 May – 26 June, 2014.
On top of that too, pebbler owners and fans can also visit the new online Singapore Pebble site pebble.sg to discuss all things Pebble, which includes yearly Pebble events, discounts on Pebble accessories and a whole suite of after sales services.
From San Francisco, USA, Pebble was brought to life by 85,000 people through Kickstarter, setting a record on the crowdfunding platform. To date, Pebble has sold over 400,000 units since it started shipping early last year. With over 1 million downloaded watch apps to Pebble devices, Pebble is one of the best selling smartwatch in the world.
