Pebble is back, and this time, they've learned from their past mistakes. The company, known for its smartwatches, has just launched the Pebble Round 2. It's a new version of their old model, the Pebble Time Round. The first one had some problems. It was thin and had a nice round screen, but the battery didn't last long. It also wasn't very strong. Plus, it was too expensive.

The new Pebble Round 2 fixes these issues. The screen is now bigger and stretches to the edge of the watch. This means you can see the time more easily. The battery life is also much better. It can last more than two weeks on a single charge. And it's still thin, just 8. 1mm. That's thinner than many other smartwatches.

The Round 2 also has some new features. It has two microphones for talking to AI assistants and sending messages. It can also track your steps and sleep. The company's founder, Eric Migicovsky, says they've focused on making the watch useful. They've left out some fancy features, like a heart rate sensor. Instead, they've added features that people can customize. This way, users can make their own watch faces.

The Pebble Round 2 is now available for pre-order. It costs $199 and will start shipping in May. If you've already ordered a Pebble Time 2 and want to switch, you can do so without any questions.

Pebble's comeback shows that companies can learn from their past mistakes. They've taken the feedback from their first smartwatch and used it to make a better one. It's a good reminder that failure can lead to success if you're willing to learn and improve.
