Pebble Time Round: the world’s 'lightest and thinnest smartwatch' is announced

Cross-platform smartwatch company releases new circular e-paper model that claims to beat all others on weight and thickness

Smartwatch pioneer Pebble has unveiled a new round model, which the company claims is the world's thinnest and lightest, beating Apple, Samsung and Motorola.

The Pebble Time Round is a new version of its highly-rated Time smartwatch, which eschews the square design for a circular one and is just 7.5mm thin and 28g in weight - the downside to that being it only offers two days of battery life between charges where the previous watch lasted a week.
