I used an instinct 2 solar for some time. Loved the battery life but really disliked the OS.
Switched back to my Pebble time steel and have a Pebble time 2 on order.
Hi OP, I'm in the same boat as you. I even searched yesterday where the cancel preorder button is. I wore pebble Time almost majority of my life and now Galaxy Active 2 for about 3-4 years. I don't like my Galaxy (bulky, bad battery, useless fitness tracking that I don't need, bunch of options, always on display is crap); I did love my Pebble but I kind of feel Pebble is just old tech by now. The only major feature that I need is to answer a damn call on my wrist for 10-20 seconds and Pebble does not have it. My take is keep my preorder if I'm not happy at all with it I will sell it for like $200-180 and pick up an Amazfit or Garmin watch.
I’ve never looked beyond pebble for fitness & sleep information. Like the post workout notification that gives me the full rundown of the stats. I love the fact that I never have to start or end a workout, the pebble just knows. I’m using a ten year old Pebble Time.
"Longer battery life" Man, I wish they could get at least 3 days. I'm on 5+ days on my pebble 2 HR years later, and my pebble time 2 coming in december it projected to get 30 days!
Although im wearing my Pebble Time for years now and just today received the new Android app , Fitness tracking was never its strong point and is not suitable. Great watch tho
Can you wait a bit? I know you asked to help justify a purchase, but the Pebble Time 2 should be releasing in a month or two. There would be reviews, and you could make an actual informed decision.
I ordered a Pebble Time 2, but a lot of the process makes me nervous, especially with such a ridiculously high price. You're getting an almost non-existent warranty, the prices are significantly higher, and nobody gets review samples first.

Long battery; but wrist HR tracking is inconsistent.
