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.
“Core 2 Duo” sure is an unfortunate name for a tech product. They couldn’t pick something better?
Athlon maybe? Or a random number like 486.
Now we’re getting somewhere. Maybe something hip and new like Pentium
I hope it carries some fashionable trademark like MMX.
No
basic features like telling time haven’t been enabled yet
You had one job!
Wasnt this literally the a joke in Spy Kids 2?
How do you fit a laptop CPU in a watch? I think I’ll stick with my Casio that runs for more than 5 years on a coin cell.
The Core 2 Duo originally used a 65nm process. If they’re making new CPUs with a more modern process they could be significantly smaller than the old chips.
But this is Intel we are talking about so more like 65nm+++++++ “modern”
Ahh! Its the new watch 95, 98, ME, XP, 2000!
I enjoyed my pebble time, but I think I’ll steer clear of this until it’s out based on history.
Really enjoying ditching the smartwatch and using a Citizen solar/atomic analog, which should go 10+ years without needing a new battery. Really tired of remembering to charge it when traveling, and buzzing notifications on a smartwatch wasn’t a interruption I need.
i mean you can turn notifications off (unless it’s really fucking terrible), and my $80 xiaomi smart band 8 lasts more than a week with my settings, and in power saving mode (which is just time and step counting) it doubles my battery life.
