easy to fix with zebra strip replacement I'm still wearing pebble steel rn

It was really only the OG Pebble and the Steel. It was resolved by using a different screen connector in the Pebble 2 and Time.

I've had multiple OG's over the years and each have developed the tearing issue. It's a fairly easy fix if you're comfortable opening electronics, but obviously that's not going to work for every customer of a mass market product...
