Looks great
Especially on smaller wrists
Waterproof
Battery life is better than the Apple Watch and most Android Wear watches
It's actually a watch. Not a “smartwatch you'll feel like wearing” or a wearable that “puts the watch back in smartwatch.” No
It looks just like a normal watch that happens to have awesome computer brains under an e-paper display

The editors didn't like

Short battery life compared to existing Pebble devices
You can't filter smartphone notifications to the watch—it will vibrate and light up with every alert that the phone receives
$250 is a lot to ask for this smartwatch
Expensive
Lackluster battery life
Thick bezel
Compatibility issues with apps and watch faces from previous Pebbles
Battery life could be better
Low colour and pixel count
Small display with thick bezels
Aesthetic combinations can be hit or miss

Printed minute markers on some models clash with nonanalog watch faces
Lacks heart rate monitor
Proprietary cable
Limited app options
Shorter battery life than other Pebble watches
Display isn't vibrant
The price still feels like more than the sum of its parts. The screen's dim and soft. This is basically still an Androidonly device
Lack of compatible apps
Display backlight sometimes tough to trigger
Bright daylight viewing can be a little difficult
Only 2 day battery life
Apps still haven't fully made the transition to round software
Not applicable in as many situations (only splash resistant)

Thin,lightweight design, Color e-paper is easy to read under bright light, Potential for third-party "smart straps"
Reduced battery life, Less water-resistant than previous models, Expensive for what it is
The Pebble Time Round is without doubt the most elegant smartwatch Pebble has ever made. It's slim, lightweight and fits smaller wrists well. Unfortunately, that fashionable design comes at a cost: It has far shorter battery life than previous Pebbles an...
