30 to 90 days is standard for a defects in workmanship and materials warranty, which is only there to cover something not working right because it came faulty from the factory. It’s basically one step up from an “as-is” sale just so you can request a replacement if it’s dead on arrival.
It is bullshit and straight up illegal in the EU, but as the watches are shipped straight from the Chinese factory and sold by a US based company, it might technically be allowed? The legalese is very confusing when I tried to figure it out - if a company sells something directly to an EU customer, they are supposed to follow EU laws to a point.
Love this.
The more I’m hearing about the Pebble Time 2, the more I’m liking it and looking forward to my delivery.
But fuck the 30 day warranty. Stuff sold in the UK is usually 6 years of cover (albeit only 5 for Scotland). 30 days is actually pathetic.

That’s a concern for me as well, in Germany every new Product has to come with basically a 2 year warranty. 30 days is nothing.
Some devices are exempt (i.e. smart watches)
Really? Never heard of that, why would smart watches be exempt?
