Pebble time round was very pretty IMHO, let's hope they go more that way this time

Huge bezel though. Would've got it if not for the bezel, I really wanted to make a custom 24h watchface for a Round. Went for the Time Steel instead. Hope in this new leg of the journey they can get a Round to have bezel coverage more on par with the rectangular models.

Agreed, the bezel was too big! I had a time steel as well, but it had a huge bezel too. I'm partial to the round designs anyway and let's hope the technology has improved so much that the bezel can be removed completely

Ehh, I don't even think super-miniaturized components are needed to improve that ratio - it was already the thinnest smartwatch ever, I imagine some clever component rearranging and accepting a bit more thickness could get us some visible bezel reduction.
