# Organically-Shaped Smartwatches The Pebble Time Round Marries Tech Innovation With Natural Design By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2015-09-28 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pebble-time-round References: [fudzilla](http://fudzilla.com/news/wearables/38858-pebble-time-round-is-beautiful) & [blog.getpebble](https://blog.getpebble.com/2015/09/23/timeround/) Fans of the brand are sure to remember the first time Pebble hit the market with smartwatch designs that were competitively designed and priced, and that same legacy is continued with the Pebble Time Round, which has just been announced by the brand. Featuring a design that's circular (hence, its name) and designed to look and feel like a regular watch rather than a smartwatch, the Pebble Time Round is purported to be the thinnest and lightest smartwatch on the market. Instead of featuring a mini display, the Pebble Time Round utilizes e-ink inside the marine-grade stainless steel design that is not only strong, but will decrease energy consumption. On that note, the Pebble Time Round will run for an entire day after a 15-minute charge. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 12% | Activity: 33% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Organically-shaped Smartwatches:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design smartwatches with organic shapes that resemble traditional watches. - **Competitively Designed Smartwatches:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create smartwatches that are competitively designed and affordable. - **Thinnest and Lightest Smartwatches:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop smartwatches that are incredibly thin and lightweight for enhanced comfort and portability. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Consumer Electronics:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate organic design elements and competitive pricing into consumer smartwatches. - **Wearable Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the development of innovative, thin, and lightweight smartwatches in the wearable technology industry. - **Energy Efficiency:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate energy-efficient technologies, such as e-ink displays, into various consumer electronic devices including smartwatches. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Descriptive Wearable Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pebble-time-2.md) - [Sleek Simplistic Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/core-devices.md) - [E-Paper Display Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/core-smartwatches.md) - [Sleel Customizable Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/watch-pro-2.md) - [Hybrid Low-Power Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ksana.md) - [Monochromatic AI-Packed Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vetra-orbit-one.md) - [Visually Striking Watch Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/honor-watch.md) - [Micro-Sized Finger-Friendly Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rogbid-fusion.md) - [Chic Cushion-Shaped Smartwatches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-galaxy-watch.md)
