Sorry to hijack, but are there plans to re-manufacture the Pebble 2 Duo in black?

I was one of the pre-orderers that was offered either a refund or a white version and chose the refund because I really had my heart set on the black and don't want a color screen.

I'm also an OG Pebble enthusiast, although sadly my old one is long gone.

Eric has made it clear that the Pebble 2 Duo was always going to be a limited run because it was made mostly of leftover components and there's no reasonable path towards making new copies of those components.

That's really disappointing! I want BW eink screen, I'm not interested in colour version at all.

Out of curiosity, what's the downside of color? The screen on the new watches is also substantially larger. AFAIK there's no discernible battery life penalty for the color watches (even with the larger screen).

Price, durability, battery life, contrast ratio and overall not usability for my needs.

It really is, I wish there were a version of the Time 2 that had a BW screen. I did manage to snag one of the Pebble 2 Duos before they sold out and I love it. The contrast and reflectivity is unbeatable.
