Quick @pebble project update! I'm also working on a longer blog post with lots more details, updated images of Core Time 2, etc. And I will hopefully pair that with a Tick Talk epp! Thread...

Tariff cost for US orders is ~$10 per Core 2 Duo. Non-US orders do not have any US tariffs since we ship direct from Hong Kong to rest of world, but since we are shipping 'prepaid' (DDP) you will be charged your country's Taxes/VAT during order confirmation.

Core 2 Duo: - fixed audio codec + speaker, clearing way for mass production - testing shipping to beta testers this week! - on track to ship the first 2-4k units (roughly half of batch 1) last week of July/1st Aug. Rest will ship out end Aug. As per store.rePebble.com, estimates...delays may happen

PebbleOS - things are going quite well - we're currently focused on Bluetooth reliability, fixed some major bugs this week with the help of @codecoup_pl (thank you!). Things are fairly stable now (🤞) - battery life is still unoptimized in PebbleOS, but we've verified that the hw can hit 30+ days

- major things that we haven't started working on yet: health (step/sleep) tracking, speaker API, magnetometer/barometer

iOS/Android Mobile app - we published a new batteries-included open source library github.com/coredevices/... - our app (built with lib) is being tested by some willing and brave souls - good news! Our new app will support your old Pebbles as well. No more sideloading the 10 year old Pebble app!

- our new app will be on Google Play play.google.com/store/apps/d... & iOS Appstore before your watch ships - everything is working well, except we haven't started on weather, voice input (soon), health tracking UI, timeline pins from 3rd party apps, Pebblekit Android (soon)/iOS(much later if ever)

SDK We made it's suuuuuper easy to install the Pebble SDK and build a watchface/app: 1) install uv (docs.astral.sh/uv/) 2) uv tool install pebble-tool 3) pebble new-project my1stapp 4) cd my1stapp && pebble build 5) pebble install --emulator aplite

That's it! Full guides here: developer.rebble.io/developer.pe...

Core Time 2 - progressing well, we're on schedule - currently in engineering verification test (EVT) stage, testing the first circuit boards and fully assembled watches - we've made some improvements to the design (it's a bit sleeker), excited to share it soon!

Thanks for the update!! So exciting! Where can I get a t-shirt? Are they available for purchase somewhere?
