    And why are both watches a “2” variant?

    Because this is the next generation of the original Pebble watches.

    Core 2 Duo

    I’ll actually be surprised if this makes it to launch without Intel perhaps making a few legal calls and prompting a device name change.

      The most recent Intel Core 2 Duo was discontinued in 2008. I doubt Intel would be able to convince anyone that this is a competing product or would cause any customer confusion. No one is going to be looking for a low end processor from over a decade ago and accidentally buy a watch.

        The point is not that it is being used, the point is that corporations must protect their trademarks or else they may lose the exclusive rights to them. Intel also still uses the “Core” branding on their modern CPU’s so it wouldn’t be a stretch for them to try and continue legally protecting “Core 2 Duo” under the guise of retaining the “Core” part of their trademarks.

      Wouldn’t this be the fourth generation? Pebble Time was the second generation and Pebble 2 was the third generation.
