The Core 2 Duo watch is essentially a Pebble 2 with the serial numbers filed off.

yes, and discontinued right after, no?

look don't get me wrong, I like the product and curious about its return. I just find it strange to pretend a version 2 of a product is "unique"

That is Apple level of "we inveted this thing that has been in the market for 2 years"

They were bought bc they where competitive budget smartwatches that gave their userbase freedom. Fitbit bought them just to emilimate them as competition. Further more the fact that theres still a pebble community all these years later still using and loving an old smartwatch proves not only where they succesful but fitbit was not. Fitbit is gone, and pebble rises again from their ashes like a pheonix
