Today, Pebble has announced a yet another addition to its lineup of innovative smartwatches. The newest Pebble Time Round is a thin, round, and light smartwatch, which is now available for pre-orders worldwide through Pebble's official website and the shipping will be in November.
As Pebble establishes simple yet stunning smartwatches, it also continues to create products that improve and blend into people's lives. The Pebble Time Round is one proof that this watch company builds technology that will delight people.
Two band sizes are available for the Pebble Time Round smartwatch - 14mm and 20mm. It comes in three finishes, Rose Gold, Black, and Silver. Additionally, it weighs 28g and is 7.5mm thin, making it the thinnest and lightest smartwatch in the world by far.
The Pebble Time Round is compatible with both iOS and Android devices. Unfortunately, iOS users won't get the full Android wear experience. The operating system of this smartwatch includes Pebble's Timeline feature to see past, present, and future information, but it is now in Apple's watchOS 2 too. The price will be $249, which is no longer cheaper that its rivals.
Furthermore, the small display in the smartwatch is color e-paper. It is always on which is a bonus for telling time. The battery lasts only up to two days since it is lightweight, unlike the previous Pebble watches which last for five days or so. It also charges quickly; in 30 minutes it is already fully charged.
On the whole, Pebble's new smartwatch could become a strong competitor of the Apple Watch and Android Gear. Its design will absolutely be one good selling point. The stylish design of the Pebble Time Round brings a classy and timeless look, especially for women out there. It is the ideal companion for those people who like their wearable a bit more disguised.
