Pebble, known for its smartwatches, has made a comeback with the Pebble Round 2. This new model addresses the issues of its predecessor, the Pebble Time Round.

Key Improvements

  • Bigger Screen: The screen now stretches to the edge of the watch, making it easier to read the time.
  • Better Battery Life: The battery can last more than two weeks on a single charge.
  • Thinner Design: The watch is still thin, at just 8.1mm, making it one of the thinnest smartwatches available.

New Features

  • Two Microphones: For talking to AI assistants and sending messages.
  • Activity Tracking: Tracks steps and sleep.
  • Customizable Watch Faces: Users can create their own watch faces.

Availability

The Pebble Round 2 is now available for pre-order at $199 and will start shipping in May. Customers who have already ordered a Pebble Time 2 can switch to the Round 2 without any questions.

A Lesson in Improvement

Pebble's comeback is a testament to learning from past mistakes. By taking feedback from their first smartwatch, they've created a better, more useful product. It's a reminder that failure can lead to success if you're willing to learn and improve.
