Pebble Time 2 Owners Add Protection to $225 Watches as Cracking Screen Reports Mount
3 articles · Updated · Android Police · Jul 13
Summary
Pebble Time 2 owners are buying screen protectors and even making homemade bumpers after reports that the watch display can crack with little apparent cause.
Reddit posts and wider media coverage suggest the problem is not isolated, though it remains unclear whether the damage stems from a defect, user handling or a mix of factors.
Pebble's support terms are intensifying concern because the $225 smartwatch carries only a 30-day warranty, leaving buyers with little coverage if screens fail soon after purchase.
Pebble has not commented on the issue, putting fresh scrutiny on the relaunched brand as it expands its lineup with the Time 2, Round 2 and Index 01 ring.
