Summary
Pebble will start shipping the Round 2 to customers this month after production issues pushed the smartwatch back from its original May launch.
September is the next milestone: Pebble expects to finish all preorders by then and put the watch on retail shelves the same month.
The $200 device revives Pebble’s minimalist approach with a 1.3-inch 260 x 260 display, physical buttons, step and sleep tracking, and voice-to-text.
No heart-rate monitor or speakers are included, positioning Round 2 against larger 41mm to 45mm rivals from Apple, Samsung, and Google as a simpler wristwatch-style alternative.
