Ꝏꝏ love the white one . That watch faceeeeee 🤍🤍

And why are both watches a “2” variant?
Because this is the next generation of the original Pebble watches.
Core 2 Duo
I'll actually be surprised if this makes it to launch without Intel perhaps making a few legal calls and prompting a device name change.
That is not how trademarks work. They are purpose specific. I still have no idea why they would want to name it the same as an old processor, but I doubt it's actually an issue.

I have a Garmin Instinct and I can definitely recommend their hardware, but their mobile app to link for notifications and health stats is flaming hot garbage and never actually worked for me.
Garmin watches rock.

I am wearing my OG Kickstarter Pebble right now, 12 years and still getting 8 days battery out of it.
I think I will be getting a new Core Time 2
Edit: added picture
I had to stop wearing my pebble 2 hr when the software became too flaky to tolerate. Notifications would just randomly Go through or not, media controls would sometimes not work, and so on. But can't wait to go back, as my alternatives are all fundamentally flawed.

I asked my partner if she wanted a new pebble, she has a nice little Garmin, her response:
I do like my Garmin in terms of a watch and the feel but the app is shit
Funny how she lost her last one:
Her strap broke on the pebble time, my (at the time) 15 month old saw it on the bench, and asked why she wasn't wearing it. She said it is broken, a few days later she was going to get a new strap and the watch was gone. The 15 month old, had thrown it in the bin.....rubbish day had already happened.

How are they allowed to give it the exact same name as an Intel CPU line?
I've got a Core 2 Duo around here somewhere...

Price seems kinda steep for a device that doesn't have sleep/SpO2/Stress and HRV tracking capabilities

I'm just using gadget bridge now, most of the original functionality is gone. I can't be arsed jumping through the hoops to install the original pebble app on my phone.

If it's open source, could someone potentially develop an app for it to control devices in home assistant? Would love to be able to control my room lights from my watch, and don't think it's possible on my Xiaomi watch fit 3 connected to gadgetbridge.
I recognize that there would also need to be work done in the app to support this as the watch only supports BLE
-
when that’s the name of an Intel processor?
It's totally a reference to that, it has to pretty much... Why? Idk, nostalgia? Duo as in black and white maybe
The two colours of the first Intel MacBook by Apple, which had Core 2 Duo processors…
Quite an hommage indeed

I am wondering/hoping if another company will step up and make a PebbleOS based watch with these capabilities.

How does this compare to pine64? I want a privacy focused watch if at all possible

Honestly, makes me want it more. Are our brains broken?

Anyone remember the screen tearing issue that fucked basically 100% of screens from pebble? I remember.

I have a PineTime running through Gadgetbridge, and a Pebble Time Steel with Rebble services. You can pair the Pebble with Gadgetbridge and run it that way, and I imagine these new Core watches would operate similarly... But we will find out as time goes on.

I had no issue getting the app on my phone, but it wasn't really working anymore. I'd also have to swap the battery and reprint the buttons again. I'm just waiting for the new pebble now, it's only a few months now.

That price tag though.

Man I might have to get one of these.....I don't mind my FitBit, but since being gobbled by Google, I don't need another data point for Google to feed off.

Got a PineTime for Christmas and so far been very pleased with it. I found the PineTimeStyle watchface and it's been a bit like coming home to Pebble, but I do miss the wide array of watchface choices and effortless customization.
I missed out on the 1st gen pebble but had a buddy who loved his. Y'all may be talking me in to checking this new one out.
And agreed on the pine faces. I've been of half a mind to learn how to make them so I could have more variety.
