Pebble Round 2

Summary

The entire Pebble relaunch would not be complete without revisiting one of our most iconic watches from 2015 - Pebble Time Round. It stole many hearts in the Pebble community and remains the thinnest smartwatch ever made. But at the time we had to make some compromises to fit everything into such a small package. The battery life was a bit shorter than other Pebbles, and the smallish screen was surrounded by a big bezel. It’s time to address those issues! Carrying on the tradition of the original PTR, we’ve made improvements in every dimension. No more bezel - a 1.3” color e-paper display covers over the entire face! Thanks to advances in Bluetooth chip technology, the battery life lasts for approximately two weeks. It’s constructed from stainless steel, and comes in 3 colors: matte black, brushed silver and polished rose gold. Best of all, it’s still incredibly thin.

You can do basic health and activity tracking (steps, sleep) but it’s not designed to be a fitness or sports watch. Also, check out the Pebble appstore - it has over 15,000 apps and watchfaces!
