  • Charges quickly, Clean, simple user interface, Wonderfully slim and lightweight, Rich watch face and app selection
  • Battery life could be better, Low colour and pixel count, Small display with thick bezels, Aesthetic combinations can be hit or miss
  • Pebble has made some notable sacrifices to its established smartwatch recipe with the Round. Parts of the Pebble Time Round experience give the impression of an anti-establishment smartwatch. It shuns touchscreens and LCDs in place of buttons and colour e...

  • Abstract:  Image courtesy of PebbleWhen Pebble announced the Pebble Time Round a few days after my Pebble Time review, I was surprised The Time seemed like such a solid platform to build on, I wasn't sure what a new version of the hardware was going to do for them L...

  • Slim design is uniquely appealing compared to other smartwatches, Battery easily lasts two days, and charges quickly, Maintains the Pebble character with always-on, customizable watch faces
  • Round display lacks app support, even from existing partners, Printed minute markers on some models clash with non-analog watch faces, iPhone support still far behind Android
  • Pebble's new look does a fine job of papering over the platform's biggest flaws...

  • Stunning, svelte design, Compatible with Android and iOS, Always-on screen, Text reply for iOS
  • Shorter battery life than other Pebble watches, Expensive, Lack of compatible apps
  • This is one of the few smartwatches I've reviewed that I've wanted for myself. The Pebble Time Round's stunning good looks alone make it worth considering. But its attractiveness only gets it so far. Its battery life, while on a par with Android Wear and...

  • Elegant design is thin, light, beautiful, Round display is Pebble's first, used well for apps and info, Performance snappy and reliable, Battery charges up in very little time, Voice input is still good, leverages Android Wear well, Time OS is still quirk
  • Display backlight sometimes tough to trigger, Bright daylight viewing can be a little difficult, Only 2 day battery life, Apps still haven't fully made the transition to round software, Not applicable in as many situations (only splash resistant)
  • For its design and the well-performing functions this smartwatch does offer, users will look to the Time Round as the watch they want when simplistic elegance is the order of the day...

  • Sophisticated, ultra-thin design makes the Time Round the prettiest smartwatch Pebble has made yet, Compatible with both Android and iOS devices, Timeline interface makes it easy to see what's going on at any portion of your day
  • Short battery life compared to existing Pebble devices, You can't filter smartphone notifications to the watch—it will vibrate and light up with every alert that the phone receives, $250 is a lot to ask for this smartwatch

  • Abstract:  Pebble has been something of a pioneer in smartwatches, blowing up Kickstarter with its original Pebble watch back when wearable tech wasn't much more than a concept. The company's latest smartwatch has one killer feature, but its pricing puts it in the B...

  • Looks great, especially on smaller wrists, Waterproof, Battery life is better than the Apple Watch and most Android Wear watches
  • Limited app and watchface selection, Feels more expensive than it should, Screen not very vibrant
  • This is the best-looking Pebble yet and a great choice for women. I just wish it was $50 cheaper and had more apps...
