With all the sensors and data collection, these devices can cost as much as a smartwatch and require frequent charging. The Index 01 doesn\u2019t do any of that. It contains a Bluetooth radio, a microphone, a hearing aid battery, and a physical button. You press the button, record your note, and that\u2019s it. The company says the Index 01 will run for years on a charge and will cost just $75 during the preorder period. After that, it will go up to $99.<\/p>\n<p>Core Devices, the new home of Pebble, says the Index is designed to be worn on your index finger (get it?), where you can easily mash the device\u2019s button with your thumb. Unlike recording notes with a phone or smartwatch, you don\u2019t need both hands to create voice notes with the Index.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/gadgets\/2025\/12\/resurrected-pebble-maker-announces-a-kind-of-smart-ring-for-capturing-audio-notes\/\">Read full article<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/gadgets\/2025\/12\/resurrected-pebble-maker-announces-a-kind-of-smart-ring-for-capturing-audio-notes\/#comments\">Comments<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wpematico_credit\"><small>Powered by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wpematico.com\" target=\"_blank\">WPeMatico<\/a><\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nearly a decade after Pebble\u2019s nascent smartwatch empire crumbled, the brand is staging a comeback with new wearables.
