She wears the series 10 everyday and she asked me to sell the series 6 probably an year ago. That still is on my todo list 😦\n\nAs evident from the above table, my beloved Pebble Round is the lightest and on my wrist, I definitely can feel it. Not only its the lightest, its also the thinnest of the lot.\n\nThe next one on the list is the Apple Watch series 10 which is roughly the same weight as the current generation Apple watch 11. I also found it surprising that the titanium version of the Apple Watch is heavier than the aluminium one. For some reason, I thought it would be the other way around.\n\nThe other observation is the weight of the watch band it self. In most cases, the watch band adds at least 50% additional weight on top of the watch itself.\n\nThe point from my perspective is that I no longer enjoying wearing the Apple Watch Ultra. Yes its heavy but it is also so very thick. If I am being honest, the Ultra never really suited my lifestyle. At the time, my thinking was that its the Apple Watch with the biggest and brightest screen with the longest lasting battery. That is still the case today but with my current smart watch usage, those are no longer the priorities.\n\nFor that reason, lately, I am finding I wear the Pebble Round watch a lot more. I am really looking forward to the Pebble Round 2, hopefully arriving in a couple of months. I initially preordered the Pebble Time 2 but as soon as the Pebble Round 2 was annouced, I switch my preorder. A round watch just feels right.\n\nWhy I preordered a Pebble in 2025?This is the question I asked myself moments before I placing a preordered for the Pebble Core Time 2.
