For a woman, you have very hairy hands.

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 the most elegant smartwatch Pebble has ever made. It's thin, light and comes in widths that would fit even the most slender of wrists. Its circular, all-metal chassis and options for both leather and metal straps make this a...

Attractive, classic design. Always-on screen. Comfortable leather wristband. User-friendly interface.

Expensive. Lackluster battery life. Thick bezel. Compatibility issues with apps and watch faces from previous Pebbles.

Conclusions The Pebble Time Round has the potential to be the best smartwatch yet. As far as look and feel, no other smartwatch comes close by my estimation. And if you're set on a round smartwatch, it's better than the Android Wear-based Huawei Watch...

Very comfy ; Simple to use ; Ultra-slim and light

Disappointing stamina ; App support issues ; Expensive

It's lighter and better-looking than any Pebble before, but the battery life and app compatibility mean those in the market for the brand may prefer a Pebble Time Steel.

Slim design is uniquely appealing compared to other smartwatches ; Battery easily lasts two days, and charges quickly ; Maintains the Pebble character with always-on, customizable watch faces

Round display lacks app support, even from existing partners ; Printed minute markers on some models clash with non-analog watch faces ; iPhone support still far behind Android

Pebble's new look does a fine job of papering over the platform's biggest flaws.

You guys, it looks like a watch! Thin and light and small enough to work for almost anyone. Battery lasts days, plural. It doesn't try to do too much

The price still feels like more than the sum of its parts. The screen's dim and soft. This is basically still an Android-only device

1 UPDATE: An earlier version of this piece said the Time Round was made of plastic. It’s actually made of stainless steel. It just feels like plastic.

Compact size ; Attractive design ; Good build quality

Limited app options ; Shorter battery life than other Pebble watches ; Display isn't vibrant
