Pebble Time Round

I'm one of the masses of people that isn't quite sure where a SmartWatch fits into my life but will, undoubtedly, come around to it eventually. The Apple Watch seems nice enough and many of the Android offerings look solid too. That being said, I find myself quite intrigued by the new Pebble Time Round - the latest design from the eInk powered Pebble crew. The intro video showcases a simplicity to the display and interface that I find refreshing. The animations seem a little quirky as well, which is actually a bonus in my opinion.

The physical device itself seems more watch-like than anything I've seen. It's got a low profile, an always-on display (like my actual watch) and sensible color combinations between band and face.

These wearable devices seem like an extravagance to me at the moment - a way to view a text message without having to cumbersomely reach into your pocket (that's sarcasm). I'm all for convenience but I'm not particularly inconvenienced by my current setup. That being said, I am certainly intrigued.
