The Pebble Round, originally a short-lived experiment in circular smartwatch design, is making a comeback. The new Pebble Round 2 boasts a revamped design and improved functionality, now available for pre-order.

Initially released to limited fanfare, the original Round stood out for its attempt to break from the square and rectangular dominance of the smartwatch market. The Round 2 builds on this foundation, offering a more refined aesthetic and updated internal components.

Pre-orders are open now, with shipping slated for May. The device is priced at $199, positioning it as a competitive option in the mid-range smartwatch segment. Details regarding battery life and specific feature enhancements have been released, highlighting a focus on usability and design improvements. This revival signals a renewed interest in Pebble’s unique approach to wearable technology.
