2025 was a surprisingly massive 12 months for Pebble followers. Final March, former Pebble CEO Eric Migicovsky unexpectedly launched two new Pebble smartwatches: the Pebble 2 Duo and the Pebble Time 2. Now, on simply the second day of 2026, Migicovsky has introduced a 3rd Pebble smartwatch — the Pebble Spherical 2.

For all intents and functions, the Pebble Spherical 2 is a religious successor to the Pebble Time Spherical, Pebble’s wonderful round smartwatch that was launched in 2015. At first look, the brand new watch appears indistinguishable from its older sibling. Nonetheless, there are a few key upgrades that repair the unique Pebble Time Spherical’s greatest flaws.

The primary is the show. The place the Pebble Time Spherical featured a 1-inch display screen, the Pebble Spherical 2 has a 1.3-inch display screen. A 0.3-inch dimension improve could not sound like a lot on paper, however as you’ll be able to see from the images above, it’s a night-and-day distinction when trying on the Pebble Spherical 2 and Pebble Time Spherical aspect by aspect — largely due to the drastically decreased bezels on the brand new watch.

Along with the bigger dimension, the Pebble Spherical 2’s display screen can be increased high quality, that includes a 260 x 260 decision that’s twice as sharp because the OG Pebble Time Spherical. The display screen can be now optically bonded, leading to vastly improved viewing angles in comparison with the earlier mannequin.

The opposite massive improve is battery life. Migicovsky says the Pebble Spherical 2 ought to final 10 to 14 days per cost, an enormous enhance over the 2 days of battery life supplied by the unique Pebble Time Spherical (primarily on account of newer, extra environment friendly Bluetooth know-how). Though it’s not as spectacular because the 30-day battery life supplied by the opposite two Pebble watches introduced just a few months in the past, it’s nonetheless unimaginable endurance contemplating how gentle and skinny the Pebble Spherical 2 is.

Talking of which, the Pebble Spherical 2’s physique is sort of an identical to the unique Pebble Time Spherical, with the brand new mannequin simply 0.7mm thicker. The watch measures simply 8.1mm thick, which is considerably thinner than the Pixel Watch 4 (12.3mm), OnePlus Watch 3 (11.7mm), and Garmin Venu 4 (12mm).  You even have the identical stainless-steel case, 4 navigation buttons, and the enduring e-paper touchscreen show.

Elsewhere, the Pebble Spherical 2 shares many options with Pebble’s different newest smartwatches. It has step and sleep monitoring, a compass, two microphones, and 30m water resistance. In comparison with the Pebble Time 2, the 2 most outstanding lacking options on the Pebble Spherical 2 are a coronary heart charge monitor and a speaker.

Pre-orders are stay now for $199, with transport anticipated to start in Could. Should you already pre-ordered a Pebble Time 2 however want you had waited for the Pebble Spherical 2, Pebble will allow you to change your order from the Time to the Spherical and credit score you the distinction.

As somebody who wore and cherished the unique Pebble Time Spherical, I couldn’t be extra excited concerning the Pebble Spherical 2. I actually don’t anticipate it to beat the Pixel Watch 4 or Galaxy Watch 8, however the prospect of getting the Pebble Spherical {hardware} with a modernized show and improved battery life sounds proper up my alley. I can’t wait to get my arms on this one.
