I'm an og Pebble fan, I owned every one of the originals, but I'm PISSED because last year they ran a Kickstarter for the recently released Pebble Time 2 and Pebble 2 Duo; I spent $300+ to get both even though I'm not really that thrilled about them I just wanted to support the project. Now after those two have started shipping and I just got the 2 Duo they announce THIS which is way better! Wtf why didn't they tell us in the beginning that they were planning the Round 2? I would have just held off and only ordered that instead. Feels like I got scammed




You can switch your order. They anticipated that some folks would want the Round instead and said that entire reason they announced this before the Time 2 is shipped is so you can change your order to Round if you want to

Why is it way better? I like the 2 Duo and I'm sad it's sold out. Would happily buy it off you if you'd like to email me.

Huh? There was no Kickstarter, just pre-orders. And when they announced the Round they said that anyone who preordered a PT2 can flip their pre-order and keep their place in line.

My guess is that part of the reason they decided to make the round is that they got so much interest in Pebbles in general, and so many requests for the Round specifically. I don't think they would have wanted to take the risk from the beginning without knowing the demand.
