TL;DR
- Pebble Time 2 owners are reporting cracked displays after everyday actions like reaching into a pocket or scratching a leg.
- An early iFixit teardown also points to possible quality-control concerns and reveals a battery that’s difficult to replace.
- Pebble hasn’t publicly addressed the growing reports, leaving buyers with questions beyond the watch’s 30-day warranty.
Pebble’s return has been a welcome dose of nostalgia for smartwatch fans. The Pebble Time 2 brings back many of the things people loved about the original, including its lightweight design and long battery life. But if recent user reports are anything to go by, there’s one part of the watch that may not have aged nearly as well: its screen.
Over the past few days, Reddit has been flooded with posts from owners claiming their Pebble Time 2 displays crack far more easily than expected. And what’s surprising is that these aren’t stories about dropping the watch onto concrete or smashing it against a wall. In several cases, the damage reportedly happened during completely ordinary, everyday movements.
