Early backer Kickstarter pricing for Pebble Time increased to 30,000 watches

Due to the insane interest and backing that Pebble's latest endeavor, the Pebble Time, has received, the company has issued an update announcing that it has decided to increase the number of units it will ship in May from the $179 tier to 30,000. In addition, the Pebble team says that it will open up a new reward tier with a June ship date after the current tier is full.

The Pebble Time was announced earlier today, and features a color screen, weeklong battery life, and a stainless steel bezel. In addition, the new watch also features a quick release for bands, and an accessory port that allows the watch to interact with accessories created by third-party developers.

If you want to pledge and get in on the May ship date, you can do so at the source link below. However, you may want to move quickly, as there are only around 12,000 units left.
