One early tester is smitten, despite one frustration in particular.

Pebble Round 2 makes rival smartwatches look chunky in new hands-on video

In a recent YouTube video, a tester for the upcoming Pebble Round 2 smartwatch has shared their thoughts on the device after several months of regular use. The reviewer found the watch to be impressive, appreciating its sleek and comfortable design. However, they noted that the buttons on two units of the Round 2 were occasionally unresponsive. Battery life varied during the testing period, with the latest estimate around 10 days of usage.

The Pebble Round 2 captured the tester's attention when it was first showcased at CES earlier this year, but a brief hands-on experience cannot fully capture the device's capabilities. With the smartwatch still awaiting its official release to consumers, the tester decided to share their firsthand experiences. According to Notebookcheck, tester Nick Lum has published a video comparing the Round 2 to the Pebble Time 2 and Garmin Forerunner 165.

The reviewer expressed their satisfaction with the Round 2, praising its slim profile and comfort. They have reportedly become a fan of the device, finding it so comfortable that they've barely worn their Pebble Time 2 since acquiring the Round 2.
