The Pebble 2 Duo and Time 2 went up for pre-order in March, and today, they are joined by the Pebble Round 2. This new model comes from Core Devices, founded by Eric Migicovsky, the original creator of Pebble. The revival of these watches is made possible by Google’s decision to open-source the Pebble OS, which Core Devices is leveraging.
The Pebble Round 2 features a 1.3-inch 260x260 64-color e-paper touchscreen, housed in a stainless steel frame, and boasts an impressive two-week battery life. It is available for pre-order in matte black, brushed silver, and polished rose gold for $199, with shipping anticipated to commence in May.
The accompanying Pebble mobile app is compatible with both iOS and Android devices, offering basic health and activity tracking, including step counting and sleep monitoring. However, it is important to note that this watch is not specifically designed for fitness or sports purposes.
Additional features of the Pebble Round 2 include a water resistance rating of 30 meters, a linear resonance actuator for enhanced vibrations, four buttons, an accelerometer and magnetometer, dual microphones for voice commands, and message replies. The device is elegantly designed with a thickness of just 8.1mm.
