Pebble Time 2 Screens Crack in Everyday Use as 30-Day Warranty Draws Scrutiny

3 articles · Updated · Android Authority · Jul 13

Summary

  • Reddit reports over the past few days show Pebble Time 2 displays cracking during routine actions such as reaching into a pocket or scratching a leg, not after major drops or impacts.
  • An early iFixit teardown adds to those concerns, finding a missing retaining clip on one physical button and a battery soldered to the motherboard, which complicates future replacement.
  • Pebble has not publicly addressed the complaints, leaving buyers to weigh durability concerns against a warranty that lasts only 30 days.
  • The issue threatens to undercut Pebble’s comeback, as a watch marketed for daily wear now faces questions over how widespread the screen failures may be.

Insights
