Since mass production began in late March, we’ve built over 23,000 Pebble Time 2 watches and are over 80% through fulfilling pre‑orders. Shipping dates for remaining batches are: Black and Red → July 31, Grey and Blue → July 28, after which inventory will go “in‑stock” with no wait.

On the software front, the core four‑person team has boosted median battery life from 17 days to over 30 days for Pebble 2 Duo, with Pebble Time 2 now around 21 days. SDK updates added Touch Screen, Speaker, RGB Backlight APIs, Alloy native JS apps, FFI, and a JS debugger. Over 2,120 community apps exist, and Index 01 syncs reminders, tasks, calendar, music control, and more via optional encrypted webhook.

We continue to address reported software issues (step/sleep tracking, accelerometer, touch screen) and hardware concerns, offering free worldwide replacements for any flaw. Thanks to our three‑person support team—Claudio, Trevor, and Colin—who have assisted users in 93 countries. Roadmap highlights include a Send Text app (Android), Find my phone, new weather app, UI tweaks, a WYSIWYG watchface editor, and completing the reverse PPo GATT transition to enable iOS Notification Forwarding in the EU.
