Eric just released a new video and blog post reveling the updated design and its more like the old Pebble Time Steel, and less like the Kickstarter Pebble design.
I for one LOVE it, and put down my $$$ for a pre-order.

Why Pebble?
-
Always-on e-paper screen (it’s reflective rather than emissive. Sunlight readable. Glanceable. Not distracting to others like a bright wrist)
-
Long battery life (one less thing to charge. It’s annoying to need extra cables when traveling)
-
Simple and beautiful user experience around a core set of features (telling time, notifications, music control, alarms, weather, calendar, sleep/step tracking)
-
Buttons! (to play/pause/skip music on my phone without looking at the screen)
-
Hackable (apparently you can’t even write your own watchfaces for Apple Watch? That is wild. There were >16k watchfaces on the Pebble appstore!)

It's the time steel 2 we never got!
If they pull it off it will be quite an impressive comeback story. I'm glad I kept all my old pebble chargers!
I still have my time steel somewhere, no other watch has come close to matching it for me. Time to dig it up and see about getting it working again.
Mine still works although the battery has degraded over time, which is one of the reasons I stopped using it. It looks like the battery will be replaceable on the Pebble Time 2, which is great as the build quality of the steel was excellent and the rest of the watch was holding up great after years of use.
I know it's possible to replace the battery, mine is in need of some minor repairs to the charging contacts. Iirc precise application of conductive glue was the community fix
