"Where the Pebble Round 2's specs shine is in display and battery life, which Migicovsky has improved twofold. The watch now lasts around 10 days, and it's 8.1mm thin (or thick). That's a little thicker than the famously skinny Pebble Time Round at 7.5mm. Pebble improves the display by minimizing the bezel and maximizing the 1.3-inch e-paper display. By widening the display, the watch makes reading notifications and messages far easier and more legible, I found in a side-by-side demo with Eric Migicovsky, Pebble's CEO."
"The watch has maintained its thinness while addressing common user complaints, like the thick bezel that wraps around the display and the short battery life of the Pebble Time Round. This isn't the kind of watch you'd use for marathon training. It's a sleek, elegant, and functional device that can track some health details, primarily sleep and steps, but forgoes the breadth of a fitness watch for timekeeping, communication, and AI queries or assistance."
Pebble Round 2 is a thin, open-source smartwatch that improves battery life and display size compared with the Pebble Time Round. The watch uses a 1.3-inch e-paper display with a minimized bezel for better legibility. Battery life has increased roughly twofold to about 10 days. The case measures 8.1mm thick, a bit thicker than the previous 7.5mm model. The device focuses on timekeeping, notifications, communication, and AI queries rather than advanced fitness features. It can track basic health metrics such as sleep and steps. The stainless steel case is available in matte black, brushed silver, and shiny rose gold, with a silicone strap standard and leather straps optional.
