I'm super happy about the revival (I backed the first Pebble Kickstarter) and the bullet list of key features you're targeting would make my dream watch, but I hope you take this as constructive criticism that you're way off right now on this one: - Simple and beautiful design It's ugly, and the gap with the industrial design of today's watches is wider. I suggest contracting with a good industrial design firm to redesign the case: the case material, screen and internal electronics can remain the same.

I think it looks great. I don't want a sleek expensive looking piece of jewelry,I want something fun.

I very much disagree. This design gives me old school Casio vibes, and I really, really like it. My father has worn an old model from Casio for decades, and I have a lot of nostalgia around it.

  The shape of the Time 2 reminds me of the Casio calculator watch, which I love. Frankly I'd like it if they leaned even harder into hard edges, like octagons over curved bevels.

it's unique, and it's not even that bad. you shouldn't compare this to the apple watches of the world when the screen itself could display 64 colours at best (monochrome at worst). the design language should line in perfectly with those from the pebble os. it's supposed to be quirky, not liking the looks of it just means you're not the target audience.

  It's not the worst but the original Pebble Time Steel looks better IMO. I understand why they used a simpler case design (They don't have the resources to make anything like the PTS) but I still like the PTS design more. Maybe someone will come out with a custom case or something idk

It looks good. Don't confuse sleek with attractive.

I had the same reaction. The Core Time 2 gives Vader vibes. My hope is that the third color will be metallic and will look better. I prefer the rounded edges of the Pebble Time Steel 2.
