I like everything about Pebble Round 2, except that it's round. I _HATE_ round watches with a passion, it's just form over function for electronic watches. Coincidentally, that's also why I still have an iWatch even though my phone is Android. There are _no_ good rectangular Android watches.

Are you planning something like this but with a rectangular screen? I have Time 2 on pre-order, but I'd love to buy a water-resistant watch.



The time 2 is water resistant.


The Round 2 is supposed to be diveable up to 30 meters. The Time 2 is merely resistant, so you can't dive or swim with it.


While the original announcement just said ipx8, the chart at https://repebble.com/watch says the target for both watches will be 30 meters (search for "30m"). (note: even though the duo is rated for 20m, they've said specifically not to dive with them: https://ericmigi.com/blog/pebble-2-duo-is-in-mass-production)
