Pebble announced the Pebble Time Round, a follow-up to the popular original Pebble and Pebble Time smartwatches, back in September, promising it would be available in November.

As a recap on the Time Round, this is Pebble’s first round watch that still features an e-paper display. It’s just 7.5mm thin and weighs only 28 grams, making it the lightest smartwatch on the market. It’s easily their classiest looking watch to date. The smartwatch will be available in retail stores at Best Buy and Target, as well as online via Amazon, Best Buy, Target, and Pebble’s own website.
While it can’t offer the more robust feature set of Android Wear or Samsung’s Tizen-powered Gear S2, the Pebble Time remains an excellent option for Android (and iOS) users that are willing to trade a few functionality for a full week of battery life. Customers will be able to pick one up for themselves via retailers such as Best Buy and Target.
For those who pre-ordered the Pebble Time Round, you won’t get your units any earlier than normal, as the company says that pre-order shipments will begin going out on November 8 as well. However, you can get straps in different colors, including Stone leather, Nero Black leather, White leather, Nubuck Brown leather, and Flame Red.

The Pebble Time Round has a nice design, and its round face and always-on display let it look and act like a traditional analog watch. Pebble is also touting the Pebble Time Round as a good smartwatch for folks with small wrists, so if you fit into that group, this new device may be worth a look.
