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.

And why are both watches a “2” variant?

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.

Wouldn't this be the fourth generation? Pebble Time was the second generation and Pebble 2 was the third generation.
