No, the Pebble used a Sharp Memory LCD, a different transflective technology. It can only do greyscale while pixelQi uses prisms to separate the colors. That's why you get color with backlight and greyscale out in the sun.

Eh? My Pebble Time has a color screen, and it sure is transflective.

The pebble time has a display like an old Game Boy Color

I can speak only for the Pebble Time Steel, but it is leaps and bounds better than the gameboy color.

I would kill for an equivalent display in a laptop - saturated colours and eink readability in direct sunlight with 30hz refresh

And so does Pixel Qi. They're both LCD, after all.

"transflective" is just a broad description of displays which take in light and reflect it back, implementations and drawbacks vary.
