Pebble has launched two new PebbleOS smartwatches — the Core 2 Duo and Core Time 2 that follow the same DNA of the original Pebble watches. The Core 2 Duo is an improved version of the Pebble 2 whereas the Core Time 2 is an improved version of Pebble Time 2. One of the main differentiating factors between the two watches is unlike the Core 2 Duo, the Time 2 features a bigger 1.5-inch touch screen 64-color e-paper display, surrounded by a metal frame. You can read more about the differences in this article. Both the watches are up for pre-orders in limited quantities. While the Core 2 Duo ships in three months, i.e., starting July, you'll have to wait until December for Core Time 2.
