    Why would they choose to name the watch “Core 2 Duo” when that’s the name of an Intel processor? And why are both watches a “2” variant? They need a new marketing person.

      Because this is the next generation of the original Pebble watches.

      Core 2 Duo

      I’ll actually be surprised if this makes it to launch without Intel perhaps making a few legal calls and prompting a device name change.

        The most recent Intel Core 2 Duo was discontinued in 2008. I doubt Intel would be able to convince anyone that this is a competing product or would cause any customer confusion. No one is going to be looking for a low end processor from over a decade ago and accidentally buy a watch.
