I guess Kickstarter had the fear of god put into them, because the Kickstarter update has been, erm, updated with some speedier refund timing:
quote:3PM PST Update on refund timing:
Kickstarter will process refunds for all eligible pledges within one week. Please note that it may take ten business days for the refund to appear on a backer's credit or debit card statement. In the event that the initial refund attempt is unsuccessful, steps will be taken to ensure all refunds are successfully processed. Once a refund is successfully processed, backers will receive an email from Kickstarter notifying them of the amount of the refund and the payment source refunded.

They claimed (or strongly implied) at the time that they had no need to Kickstart whatsoever as of KS-2, and doing so was just a fun little way to enable fan preorders and pay homage to their initial KS success. "A way to give back to the community" or some bullshit.
Of course, leaks after the fact demonstrate that they were pretty much always hemorrhaging money and likely did not have the money to produce the Time 2, even after the third KS.

A major update has been released for the Android and iOS apps:
quote:Pebble App for iPhone 4.4 Release Notes
If Pebble's authentication servers can't be reached, users can skip the login process, but the Pebble appstore will not be available. Apps can only be installed via side-loading if this occurs.
If Pebble's update servers can't be reached, the app will be able to install the latest compatible firmware for the paired device, plus the relevant language packs.
We removed the option to Contact Support but users can still export diagnostic data (including the Health database) by tapping Share Diagnostics.
Health data collection and various telemetry reporting has been removed.
The option to suggest new features has been removed.
Fixed a bug which would “crown” your first day of step counts, even if no activity was recorded yet.
Developers can now side-load a service configuration to change which servers the Pebble app communicates with.
The Developer menu is now easier to find within the new Settings tab.
Turning on Health synchronization in Settings now writes heart rate data to Apple’s Health app.
Fixed a crash that occurred when configuration pages attempted to open an image picker using HTML5 file input.
Fixed a crash that occurred when Rocky.js apps used Clay configuration pages.

(so watches will keep working once services eventually discontinue) and adjust Pebble Health to feed directly into the app and OS-level services like HealthKit. The third party-reliant stuff like weather services are up in the air.
