The Pebble smartwatch is back, and now that includes the thin and stylish Pebble Round 2.
The original Pebble Time Round launched in 2015 as the first circular Pebble smartwatch. It was remarkably thin, but also had some downsides, such as an enormous bezel and poor battery life compared to other Pebbles. For the 2026 reboot, the Pebble Round 2 addresses all of those issues.
Based on the same core framework as the Pebble Time 2, the Pebble Round 2 adopts essentially the same form factor as the original. It measures just 8.1mm thin and has a new 1.3-inch e-paper display that’s not only bigger than the original, but higher resolution at 260×260. The battery life has also improved to nearly 2 weeks, and the display is a touchscreen too.
The stainless steel frame of Pebble Round 2 comes in silver, black, and rose gold colorways and features a 20mm band attachment on the former two colors, with a 14mm attachment on the rose gold option. The silver case is also available with a 14mm connection.
The rebooted Pebble Round 2 features water resistance, a microphone for voice input, and support for all of the watch faces and apps from the original Pebble Time Round. It does have some downgrades from the standard Time 2, though, with no heart rate sensor or speaker built in.
Pebble Round 2 is available for pre-order today and ships in May, all for $199.
