Whaaaat?! I've never had that issue and have a half dozen pebbles

What other issues did you have since you bought half a dozen of them?

[–] Sagan_Wept@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 1 month ago

I bought so many because I lived pebble, it's features and price point. When it got bought I didn't think we'd ever see another pebble, so I bought a bunch to last me hopefully the rest of my life. To the point of your question, the main issues I've faced since are battery over time and crashing. The only pebble 2 I bought failed in a year because the buttons got worn through, and water ruined it. Makes me wary of the newer upgraded pebble 2s

It was a well known issue and happened to more than half of all pebbles. If you simply search “pebble screen tear” you’ll find whole forums and websites and different solutions to try and fix it.

I’ve had 3 pebble originals, a pebble steel, and a pebble time. All had screen tearing after a few months.
