Pebble Round 2 Smartwatch Ships in July: Price and Specs

The Pebble Round 2 smartwatch starts shipping to pre-order customers in July 2026, bringing the e-paper display and long battery life that made the original Pebble popular back into a modern, round design. It marks the clearest sign yet that Pebble's comeback is reaching real customers rather than staying a concept on a stage.

A color e-paper display
The Pebble Round 2 uses a bezel-less, 260x260 pixel color e-paper display housed in an 8.1mm-thick round case, a notably thin build for a smartwatch with an always-visible screen. The round shape and slim profile are meant to read more like a traditional watch than a typical smartwatch.

Battery life built for weeks, not days
Pebble rates the Round 2's battery at up to 14 days per charge, well beyond what most color-screen smartwatches offer between charges. That kind of battery life has long been one of Pebble's signature advantages over competitors that rely on brighter, power-hungry OLED panels.

Price and finishes
The Pebble Round 2 costs $199, matching the price of the original 2015 Pebble Time Round. It comes in three finishes: Matte Black, Brushed Silver, and Polished Rose Gold, with optional black or brown leather straps for buyers who want a dressier look.

Health tracking, kept simple
Rather than chasing every fitness metric, the Pebble Round 2 sticks to core features like step counting and sleep tracking, in keeping with Pebble's minimalist approach to software. The watch favors a small, focused feature set over the crowded menus found on many rival smartwatches.

Shipping timeline
Pebble says the first pre-orders will ship in July 2026, with the rest of the backlog shipping by September 2026. Buyers who ordered early in the campaign are expected to see their watches arrive first, with later orders filling in over the following weeks.

A history dating back to 2015
Pebble first announced the Round 2 in January 2026 as a revival of its thin, round smartwatch line, and the July shipping date marks the point where that project reaches actual buyers. The original Pebble Time Round, which the new price matches, first shipped over a decade earlier in 2015.
