Pebble Time Round Now Ready for Pre-order One of the things that made the earliest batch of smartwatches so geeky was their rectangular shape. While a legendary maker of fine designer watches like Chanel can make a square watch look stylish and sophisticated, too many wearable devices looked more like a tiny smartphone screen on a plastic band rather than a timepiece.
