My concern with the Pebble Time 2 is the lower contrast that color e-ink has compared to grayscale. I don't know how bad it is in person, but next to the Pebble 2 Duo in the video it looks much worse. If it were B&W I would have bought it immediately.

They are making a b&w one as well.

Which I preordered. However, the case looks a lot nicer on the PT2 than the P2D, and there's no HRM on the P2D.

That's not eink technology, it's most likely Sharp Memory-in-Pixel (MIP) LCD display, where the difference between BW and color isn't as bad as in eink technology which uses actual pigment particles inside the pixel cells that "cloud" the contrast.

My Pebble 2 definitely had better contrast than my Pebble Time Steel. Not sure if that's still the case with modern screens.

It looked like there was higher contrast on the posted video, but it's very hard to tell what the magnitude is on camera.
