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

The new company is called Core devices, it's using old stock Pebble 2 cases to make the watch, and apparently the Duo stands for "do-over" - though I'm fairly sure they realized the c2d joke after the "core 2" part and just ran with it.
