Haven't posted much about @repebble.com Index 01 recently (been...uh a bit in the weeds on PT2 shipping). But lots of progress has been made! Good news - we're in PVT2! Yes, 2 :)

The first PVT exposed two probs 1) possible ESD damage during assembly was blowing out the BLE amp on some units, 2) a change we made to the mic membrane caused some units to fail audio testing. We fixed both with modifications to the assembly line. Things seem to be on a good track now with PVT2!

When will my Index 01 ship? Our goal is to manufacture the first 2k units by mid-May and start shipping them out. It will take us roughly 3 months to manufacture and ship out all pre-orders, meaning we should be finished by July. As always, these are estimates. Delays may happen!

That looks really cool! If you have them, I'd love to see the latest images in gold or black as well. It'll help me decide on the final color :)

Alpha testers Thanks to some brave souls who've been using early versions of Index 01 and reporting bugs, we've crushed a ton of software issues over the last 3 months! Performance and reliability are starting to be really smooth on iOS and Android.

The brushed silver is really nice! I like it even better! I’m choosing silver anyway, but if it’s not too late to consider a dark grey for the button, it might be worth considering. I have some concern about the white discoloring over time. Is this a valid concern based on the materials?

Any chance of a silver with black button combo? I expect the white to get discoloured quite fast as I do a lot of machining stuff for a hobby.
