Why would they choose to name the watch "Core 2 Duo" when that's the name of an Intel processor? And why are both watches a "2" variant? They need a new marketing person.
Because this is the next generation of the original Pebble watches.
I'll actually be surprised if this makes it to launch without Intel perhaps making a few legal calls and prompting a device name change.
That is not how trademarks work. They are purpose specific. I still have no idea why they would want to name it the same as an old processor, but I doubt it's actually an issue.
