Since we started mass production in late March, we’ve built over 23,000 Pebble Time 2 watches. We’re over 80% of the way through fulfilling all the pre-orders we’ve received! But that means there are still some ultra patient folks who haven’t received their watches yet. If you’ve placed an pre-order for PT2 and haven’t received it yet (including Batch 6 - August), here’s when we expect to ship your watch out: Coincidentally, this means that we’ll be ‘in-stock’ with no wait very soon! If you’ve been holding off placing an order because you didn’t want to wait, now is the time to jump on it. This won’t last forever - first-come first serve. As soon as the current inventory is sold out, we’ll be back in pre-order mode waiting for the next shipment. Major props to our three person customer support and logistics team! Claudio, Trevor and Colin have answered thousands of your questions and helped ship watches safely onto your wrist in 93 countries. Have a question? Please check out our Help site first. If that doesn’t have an answer, please email us at [email protected]. Want an extra Pebble charger? shop.repebble.com now carries accessories - full selection of straps coming soon. Over the last 6 months, the core four person Pebble software team built and shipped a metric ton of new Pebble open source software! Our improvements were centered around these areas: We’ve (well, mostly Gerard 🙂) worked extraordinarily hard over the last few months, optimizing and reducing power consumption in PebbleOS. As predicted, we boosted the median battery life of Pebble 2 Duo from 17 days (last summer) to over 30 days. Pebble Time 2 median is currently around 21 days - more improvements in the works here too! The biggest consumers of power are backlight, watchfaces with a lot of animations and health tracking. If you want to ‘hypermile’ your Pebble, try switching to a low-animation watchface and the new Battery Saver backlight mode (Settings → Display → Backlight). Together with the Moddable team, we’ve published several Pebble SDK updates introducing new features like: Developers in the Pebble community have created 2,120 apps and watchfaces for Pebble Time 2 and Pebble Round 2 already!
