Core 2 Duo is really a wild name choice for this watch? Like I thought it was running on an old Intel processor and could not figure out how that made any sense
Well, the Pentium 2 wouldn't fit, you see.
The new company is called Core devices, it's using old stock Pebble 2 cases to make the watch, and apparently the Duo stands for "do-over" - though I'm fairly sure they realized the c2d joke after the "core 2" part and just ran with it.
oooh ok i guess i can see where they're coming from with that.
