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!)

Normally I agree. I generally won't buy things based on future promises. I'm this case I have been dying for a new pebble for years and I can cancel at any time.
I don't know that they will do broad distribution like they did with the og and time.
I doubt we will see them on Amazon or at Best buy.
Yeah and also, this guy has a lot of experience making very similar products, and you can see the product is almost there physically and the software already works quite well... I'd say that makes it much lower risk than your average kickstarter type crowdfunder/preorder.
