One thing I don't understand:

> Pebble 2 Duo is sold out! We are not making more. If you want a Pebble, I recommend pre-ordering a Pebble Time 2 soon.

Is this supposed to be a collector's item? I'm not sure I'd want to invest in an ecosystem where damaging the device means I'm out or stuck waiting in line for replacement - with no guarantee the new device will be similar enough.

Pebble 2 Duo were reusing the existing stock of Pebble 2 housings and displays. This model was intended as a limited run from the beginning.

Pebble Time 2 are designed from scratch and expected to be still available after the pre-order batches have been shipped out.

Thanks for the clarification.

I just hope supporting this limited run model will not consume too much resources.
