Pebble Delays Round 2 to September and Index 01 to August as Production Snags Hit

Summary
July is now the target for Pebble Round 2 to start shipping, with all pre-orders pushed back to September instead of the original May launch window.
A cosmetic flaw in late pre-production samples held up Round 2 mass production, while the Index 01 slipped because Pebble says the smart ring is a new, more complex product to manufacture.
700 Index 01 units have been built, with about 11,000 still needed to clear pre-orders; Pebble plans to widen beta testing over the next few weeks before shipping more rings and finishing by early August.
Pebble Time 2 remains on track by comparison, with pre-order shipments still expected to finish by the end of July, though founder Eric Migicovsky said delays are still possible.
