If you’ve been refreshing your order tracking page for months, Pebble just gave you an actual date to mark on your calendar. The company’s July mega-update reveals exactly when the remaining Pebble Time 2 pre-orders will finally ship.

Beyond shipping updates, the July report also offers a clear look at how the company is handling its return to the smartwatch market

So when will your Pebble Time 2 actually arrive?

As mentioned in the report, Pebble has built more than 23,000 Time 2 units since mass production began in late March. Further, the company has already fulfilled over 80% of pre-orders. If you’re still waiting, here’s when your unit could ship.

Grey and Blue models ship July 28, while Black and Red follow on July 31, 2026. 

That includes Batch 6 orders as well. Once this batch clears, Pebble will briefly be in stock with zero wait. So, if you’ve been hesitating, you know when to order before it slips back into pre-order mode.

What happens if your watch arrives with a problem?

Pebble isn’t hiding from the rough edges either, and that’s something that I genuinely appreciate. The company has already tracked 330 hardware replacements out of over 19,000 watches shipped. These include issues such as short battery life, touch panel glitches, cracked front glass, and buttons popping loose from an internal clip. 

Every reported hardware issue receives a free replacement, shipped worldwide regardless of warranty status. Software fixes for step tracking accuracy, accelerometer dropouts, and touchscreen misregistration are also in progress. However, Pebble hasn’t committed to a firm timeline for them.

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

I’d say that Pebble’s willingness to publish exact defect counts and replace units regardless of warranty status is unusual for a company this size and stands out from larger smartwatch makers, who rarely disclose failure rates publicly.

The next three months will define the future of the smartphone market across the globe. As three of the most important handset makers gear up to unveil the next generation of foldables and flagships, the memory crisis is worsening with each passing quarter, pushing up phone prices across every segment.

We have Samsung going live on July 22, 2026, with its latest foldables, followed by Apple’s new CEO, John Ternus, revealing the iPhone 18 Pro and the first foldable iPhone in September (like they do every year). However, the middle month — August — is when Google finally hosts its “Made by Google” launch event, a hardware-focused event that will unveil the Pixel 11 series.

Pixel Watch 5 leak bares it all, and it seems Google is playing it safe again
Leaked renders reportedly reveal both sizes and every color, but Google’s next smartwatch looks more like another careful refinement than a reinvention

Google’s next smartwatch may have just lost what little mystery it had left. High-resolution Pixel Watch 5 renders shared by longtime device leaker Steve Hemmerstoffer, better known as OnLeaks, show both case sizes and what’s claimed to be the complete color lineup ahead of Google’s expected August 12 launch event. The images were published in partnership with TheTideChart.com.

Assuming the renders are accurate, Google isn’t straying far from its established formula. The domed display and proprietary band system both appear to be returning for another generation.

Pixel Watch permission error won’t go away, but there’s a weird fix
Turns out the fix has nothing to do with permissions, and everything to do with notifications.
Pixel Watch on Wrist

If you own a Pixel Watch, there's a chance you have seen a stubborn permission prompt carrying the Fitbit logo on your wrist. It asks for access to your sensor data and refuses to leave no matter how many times you dismiss it.

The frustrating part is that most people hit by this have already granted every permission the watch could possibly want. Everything is toggled on, and yet the warning keeps persisting.
