Pebble is finally making progress on the Time 2 orders, and I value the openness.

      Here’s the exact shipping timeline for your Pebble Time 2, along with details on what Pebble is doing for the small number of watches experiencing hardware issues.

      If you've been checking your order tracking page for months, Pebble has finally provided a specific date for you to note. The company's July update clarifies when the remaining Pebble Time 2 pre-orders will be shipped.

      In addition to shipping information, the July update gives insight into how the company is re-entering the smartwatch industry.

      So, when can you expect your Pebble Time 2?

      According to the report, Pebble has produced over 23,000 Time 2 units since mass production started in late March. Furthermore, the company has fulfilled more than 80% of pre-orders. If you are still waiting, here’s what you need to know about your shipment.

      The Grey and Blue models will ship on July 28, while the Black and Red models will be shipped on July 31, 2026.

      This includes Batch 6 orders as well. After this batch is completed, Pebble will briefly have stock available without any waiting period. If you've been considering ordering, now you know when to do so before it reverts back to pre-order status.

      What should you do if your watch arrives with issues?

      Pebble is transparent about challenges, which I genuinely appreciate. The company has recorded 330 hardware replacements from over 19,000 watches that have been shipped. The issues reported include problems such as short battery life, touchscreen glitches, cracked front glass, and buttons becoming detached from their internal clips.

      Every reported hardware issue will receive a complimentary replacement, shipped internationally regardless of warranty status. There are also ongoing efforts to improve software fixes for step tracking, accelerometer issues, and touchscreen misregistration. However, Pebble has not provided a specific timeline for these fixes.

      Pebble’s Round 2, its circular smartwatch, is anticipated to start full mass production in late July, with all pre-orders expected to ship by the end of September.

      I would say Pebble's decision to disclose specific defect counts and to replace units irrespective of warranty status is atypical for a company of its size and sets it apart from larger smartwatch manufacturers, who seldom reveal failure rates publicly.

      Looking forward to the “Made by Google” launch event in August 2026: Here’s what we expect for the Pixel 11 unveiling.

      With Tensor G6, Gemini Intelligence, and anticipated price increases, Google’s significant hardware event is set for August 12, and here’s what the key leaks indicate we can expect.

      The upcoming three months will shape the future of the global smartphone market. As three major smartphone manufacturers prepare to unveil new generations of foldable and flagship devices, the memory crisis is becoming increasingly severe with each quarter, resulting in higher prices across all phone segments.

      Samsung will launch its latest foldables on July 22, 2026, followed by Apple’s new CEO, John Ternus, unveiling the iPhone 18 Pro and the first foldable iPhone in September (as is customary each year). However, it is in August that Google will finally host its "Made by Google" event, focusing on hardware and introducing the Pixel 11 series.
