Pebble unveils Pebble Round 2 — and fixes all the original's major pitfalls

• Core Devices announces Pebble Round 2
• The new smartwatch has a big e-paper screen
• It also promises a week of battery life per charge

After a phoenix-like rise from ashes in 2024, Pebble continues to soar back into the smartwatch space with an all-new Pebble Round 2.

If that name sounds familiar, it's because the new wearable arrives a decade after the original underwhelming Pebble Time Round. Instead of a lackluster rehash, the Pebble Round 2, from Pebble platform savior Core Devices, appears to fix virtually all its predecessor's shortcomings.

The Pebble Round 2, which will be shown at CES 2026 but will not ship until May, features a color e-paper display and an edge-to-edge 1.3-inch screen. Put another way, the screen's face is significantly larger than the original Round's, which had a massive, inert bezel.
