Quote is from Wikipedia. You can see it's the case for both models here:

Besides, I own a Pebble Time watch and can tell you, it doesn't perform like a typical e-paper. It has the bad viewing angles of LCD and screen goes blank when power is lost.

    That quote is on under features on the article for the original Pebble, right? Might be that the Pebble 2 used a different screen; I can't really find info on that though.

    Regarding the Time, I think the product page for the new Time 2 specifically says how the curved screen lens on the Pebble Time wasn't that good.

    Edit: Found the quote under the Core 2 Time section

    Flat glass lens (less glare and reflections than Pebble Time family curved lens)

    From the Verge article:

    The first watch that Migicovsky and Core plan to ship is called the Core 2 Duo (not to be confused with the old Intel processor), which Migicovsky says will cost $149 and will ship in July. [...] It has the exact same black-and-white e-paper display as the old Pebble 2 (technically a transflective LCD, if you’re curious)
