Fans of the brand are sure to remember the first time Pebble hit the market with smartwatch designs that were competitively designed and priced, and that same legacy is continued with the Pebble Time Round, which has just been announced by the brand. Featuring a design that's circular (hence, its name) and designed to look and feel like a regular watch rather than a smartwatch, the Pebble Time Round is purported to be the thinnest and lightest smartwatch on the market.
Instead of featuring a mini display, the Pebble Time Round utilizes e-ink inside the marine-grade stainless steel design that is not only strong, but will decrease energy consumption. On that note, the Pebble Time Round will run for an entire day after a 15-minute charge.
