The reboot of Pebble smartwatches continues with the Pebble Round 2, an even more stylish and much-improved version of the original Time Round, which they will be bringing to CES 2026.
The Pebble Time Round is still the thinnest smartwatch ever made, but that size inevitably led to certain limitations — something the company is hoping to address with this new version. This is now the third rebooted Pebble watch, following the new Pebble 2 Duo and Time 2.
First and foremost, the Pebble Round 2 no longer has a bezel — it’s a 1.3″ colour e-paper display on the entire face — with the watch itself constructed from stainless steel. The battery life has also been improved and is estimated to last for approximately two weeks.
The Pebble Round 2 is $199 and has four different options to choose from: matte black (20mm band), brushed silver (20mm band), brushed silver (14mm band), and shiny rose gold (14mm band). Pre-orders kick off today on the Pebble store, with the watch shipping sometime in May.
Here’s a full list of the Pebble Round 2’s details and specifications:
