I've just preordered a Pebble Time 2. Never owned a Pebble before, and no real smart wath either (just a fitness watch).

I chose Pebble because of the Open Source concept.

Do you have any advice on what I can/should do, what software/apps are must-haves, or other Tipps?

Yeah, watch faces can be switched at any time (I can't imagine it's changed, be you used to be able to switch faces from the watch itself as long as it was a face that you'd already installed). The landscape when Pebbel originally launched was vastly different and I'm not sure how vibrant the community still is, but it's crazy that it's endured this long. Plus now that new watches are being made, it can only grow from here, I'm super excited to be able to rock a pebble again (I still have my Time Steel and a sealed Time, but I think the batteries are well and truly shot (and one of the stand-out features of Pebble has always been their battery life)).

Hopefully it's a quick four months for you (and everyone else waiting)!

Right, battery life was also a factor for me. My current fitness watch had five days max and is decaying... And I think other "premium" brand smart watches have like a day or two - that's unacceptable for me.
