AFAICT, the problems are
(1) the resolution: "By the way, the resolution has not changed (144x168)"; the displays of JDI have more resolution (205x140 or 180x180). This means that they would have to order them custom-made, or would not expose/use all the pixels.
(2) the dpi: 182 in the JDI displays versus 175ppi in the original pebble. They don't match, though they are quite similar.
OTOH, it seems that garmin has some watches using those displays: garmin fenix3 (the round display) and garmin epix (the rectangular display). The only interesting tidbit is that the garmin epix ( pdf) is using a 205x148 display, that is different that the one that JDI announced, so maybe they are able to manufacture at multiple resolutions. |
Garmin is using JDI screens, yes. I didn't know they were using a custom size, though, just the one mentioned in the press release. That increases the chance that the new pTime is using a JDI screen. Agreed.
Sidenote: Am I the only one who wishes Pebble would just come out and tell us?
