1 COMMENT

  1. What is not mentioned about the Pebble Time Round is that it is no longer manufactured. Fitbit bought all the assets of the Pebble company and then dropped the Pebble line. The only ones available are leftovers from years back, and the black ones are no longer in stock. If the battery dies, good luck in getting a new one.
