The Core 2 Duo watch is essentially a Pebble 2 with the serial numbers filed off.
Until we get actual sales figures, it's a little early to tell if people crave the Pebble. I do want one, but it's mostly because I saw the potential for app development and imagined the amazing things people would write for it. Definitely not because it's unique.

I think it’s also a sign that people want a device that doesn’t come from Big Data, isn’t online and isn’t designed to put them under surveillance and invade their privacy.

Seriously how do you see the resurgence of the first, least feature rich smart watch and go write an article about people wanting “something unique”. Do they think what I’m really missing is a watch face with a quirky octopus?

Exactly.
People don’t root for feature-poor stuff because it’s unique but because the features it’s missing - that you want - preclude the hardware and the hardware maker from slipping in features that you don’t want.

the only tatches that stuck with me were the original pebble, pebble time steel, and a pinetime. I also have a galaxy watch gathering dust in a drawer somewhere, which is just not practical

Yes, this.
I don’t want to be a product of by watch/phone.

Yep. I can’t wait to get mine and be in complete control of my data. No cloud bullshit.
