"It's time to reboot another OG Pebble smartwatch - specifically, the round-faced Time Round, which is getting a follow-up more than a decade after its original launch. The new Pebble Round 2 improves upon its predecessor with longer battery life and a larger 1.3-inch touchscreen display, ditching the chunky bezel that surrounded the original Time Round's 1-inch screen."
"The Pebble Round 2 works with iOS and Android devices and is available to preorder for $199, with shipping expected in May. This is the latest Pebble smartwatch to be relaunched by original Pebble creator Eric Migicovsky's new company, Core Devices, following the Pebble 2 Duo and Pebble Time 2 - previously called the Core 2 Duo and Core Time 2, until Migicovsky recovered the Pebble trademark from Google."
"While Pebble's original round-faced smartwatch only provided two days of battery life on a single charge, the Pebble Round 2 can go for up to two weeks. The 260 x 260 color e-paper display also provides twice as many pixels as the Time Round and now covers the entire watch face. Dual microphones are included that support speech input features like chatting with AI agents and replying to messages, though the latter is only available on Android for now, with iOS support coming to the EU "soon.""
Pebble Round 2 is a round smartwatch with a 1.3-inch 260 x 260 color e-paper touchscreen that now covers the entire watch face and offers twice the pixels of the original. The device extends battery life up to two weeks compared with two days on the first round model. Dual microphones enable speech input for AI chat and message replies (Android now; iOS EU support forthcoming). The stainless steel case comes in black, silver, and rose gold with multiple quick-release band sizes and accessories. The watch includes accelerometer and magnetometer for basic activity and sleep tracking but is not designed as a sports watch.
