Pebble Time 2 Ships With Cracking Screens and Loose Buttons as 30-Day Warranty Frustrates Users

Summary
Reddit users are posting near-daily photos of Pebble Time 2 units with cracked displays, saying the screens can break after minor bumps during normal use.
iFixit and user reports point to build flaws: the glass sits slightly proud of the metal frame, exposing its edge, while some buttons lack the internal clip that keeps them secured.
Pebble has not outlined a fix or publicly addressed the defects, though some customers say cracked watches were replaced within the 30-day warranty period.
The problems add to a shaky relaunch after Pebble delayed Round 2 production from May to July, while the Time 2 also uses a battery soldered to the motherboard, making repairs harder.
