One thing we ran into while designing Pebble apps in the past is the time it took to preview our designs on the device while we worked. It’s also been interesting to see the positive reactions from people that have traditionally shied away from smartwatches. We’ve had the opportunity to try the Pebble Time Round, and it’s a really compelling take on what a smartwatch should be, both in form factor and software. Overall, the Pebble Time Round Interface includes:
Adding this additional layer of organization has really made using the kit more efficient. The kit is meant to be used with Sketch, so we added things like color swatches, symbols for icons and frames, text styles, and more. In addition to providing many core interface elements in the kit, we also took time to make it more useful.

As we began comparing familiar experiences on the Time to the Time Round, there were patterns to keep in mind - how people read a circle watch face versus a rectangular one, or how to work with similar content within a circle frame. Since we released a fairly extensive interface kit for the Pebble Time, we thought doing the same for the Pebble Time Round would be a great way to learn more about designing for another new device from Pebble. Rather than shoving a rectangle into a circle, a lot of thought was put into how to bring the unique interface that is familiar on the Pebble Time to the Pebble Time Round. One of the biggest changes that we’re most excited about is the refinement and iteration that went into the interface to make the experience as best as possible on a round face. All of these were interesting things to see in a world of so many smartwatch options. There were also some other changes to the hardware, including a larger screen, thinner form factor, and new finishes. Many have commented on one of its biggest features: that it looks like a watch.
Last month, Pebble unveiled their latest product – the Pebble Time Round.
