Pebble Time 2 Is In Mass Production!

Pebble Time 2 has now entered mass production. We’ve finished all the testing and design changes we need to make. Things are working very well!

Here’s the rough manufacturing and shipping schedule

  • We started mass producing a few dozens watches per day. Over the next month we’ll ramp up to our target of 500 per day.
  • The first PT2s will ship out during the last week of March.
  • With over 20,000 pre-orders, we expect to finish shipping around the beginning of June.

    My first and second pebble were the best. But once acquired, won’t ever buy again. burn your customers, and they remember.

    If only all those smartwatches weren’t so fugly :-) …or google-infected…

    But yay to another EU-product (it seems?) with custom OS. I’ll buy some just to support.

      If you want a more traditionally looking watch you might be interested in the other model the Pebble Time Round 2. This is coming in a couple more months:

      I have one of these on pre-order.

        Yeah I saw those too. Better than the square ones but still not my taste. A bit more fancy would be nice, and no plastic wristband 😁

        But google sucks too, so no watch for me. Currently waiting for the pulsyn ring to be shipped. Though I somehow expect it won’t…

          The previous Pebble Time Round had standard watch band pins. So you could put what you wanted on it. I had a brown leather band on mine. I assume this new version will be the same.

          But google sucks too,

          It has iOS integration too. No google required.

            The previous Pebble Time Round had standard watch band pins.

            It rarely fits 100%, colorwise. I’m a bit picky. It’s more a fashion - access pure than a watch. Also prefer titanium.

            Oh no. Neither of those devils is acceptable. That’s what made this watch technically so attractive. But I would even prefer a “blank” watch for which I could do my own OS. I don’t need 5821 background services and stupid apps and features 😁

              The watch itself isn’t running iOS or Google, to my knowledge. It’s custom firmware. It’ll connect to either of those phones though 🤷‍♂️
