Q: QuestionCan you see and answer your phone and get text messages(7 answers)
A: AnswerIf this is like the first generation (it should be), then yes. You can use it to take and interact with calls (you can hear and talk into it). Messages will work with most messaging apps to at least display them, sending a message though will be more limited. This is the Bluetooth/GPS only model, so your phone will need to be within Bluetooth range and actively connected with the Watch app on Android.Answered by AgentMay
Q: QuestionDoes the phone show Facebook Messenger messages on it?(2 answers)
A: AnswerMy understanding is that that Facebook Messenger specifically does not work on Pixel Watch 2 and above. In researching for my Pixel Watch 3, I am seeing that Pixel Watch 1 users have it, but Pixel Watch 2 users do not, and there is no option to install it on the Pixel Watch 3.Answered by JSong
- A: AnswerThe Pixel watch doesn't work with the iPhone unfortunately. Only works with other Android devices but works best with a Pixel phone.

Q: QuestionDo I have to add a line for this watch?(4 answers)
A: AnswerNo. I just got the one that connects through WiFi and Bluetooth and I can make calls with no issues. If you want to make calls without your phone in range you would have to do the LTE one.Answered by PatriciaM
- A: AnswerI'm having the same issue. I went for a run and it restarted 7 times in a 45 minute period. The watch is only a few weeks old. So disappointed.
Answered by Anonymous
- A: AnswerIt has better battery and some other new tracking features, like better HR monitoring. I think if you only need to spend $50, it's definitely worth the upgrade as it is a more polished product.

ONE OF THE BEST UNLESS U NEED BLOOD OXYGEN SENSING
I've been using this watch for about a week now, and I like it so far. It's a well-designed and feature-rich smartwatch that's perfect for Android users like me. One of the things I like most about it is its design. It's simple and elegant, and it looks great on my wrist. it's also very comfortable to wear, even for long periods of time. It's packed with features, including a fast enough processor, a bright and colorful display, and a long-lasting battery. It also has a variety of health and fitness tracking features, such as heart rate monitoring, GPS tracking, and sleep tracking. I'm pleased with it. It's a great smartwatch for Android users, and I snagged it for free with my pre-order which is a great deal. DESIGN It has a simple and elegant design. It's round with a stainless-steel case and a domed glass face. The watch is available in a variety of colors, including black (this is the one I got), silver, and gold. It's very comfortable to wear, even for long periods of time. It's lightweight and has a slim profile. The band is also made of a soft and breathable material. FEATURES A fast processor that can handle any task you throw at it. A bright and colorful AMOLED display that is easy to read in any lighting condition. A battery that can easily last for a full day on a single charge. A variety of health and fitness tracking features, such as heart rate monitoring, GPS tracking, sleep tracking, and new body response tracking. A built-in speaker and microphone that allows you to make and receive calls, as well as send and receive text messages. Access to the Google Play Store so you can download and install your favorite apps. One of the things I love most about the Pixel Watch 2 is its integration with Google Assistant. You can use Google Assistant to control your smart home devices, get directions, check the weather, and more. A Safety Check feature that allows you to set a timer that will ask you to confirm that you are safe at a designated time. If you don't respond to the timer, the watch will send a notification to your emergency contacts. A body response tracking feature that can help you identify possible signs of stress and manage it in the moment. Google Keep app that allows you to create and view notes on your watch. Google Pay app that allows you to make contactless payments with your watch. PERFORMANCE This is a fast and responsive smartwatch. It's powered by a Qualcomm processor, which is specifically designed for wearables. This means that the watch can handle any task you throw at it, whether you're scrolling through menus, opening apps, or tracking your workout. It also has a long-lasting battery. I was able to get a full day of use on a single charge, even with a somewhat heavy use. This is a big improvement over the previous-generation Pixel Watch, which had a much much shorter battery life. The health and fitness tracking features are also very accurate. I compared the watch's heart rate and GPS tracking to a dedicated fitness tracker, and the results were nearly identical. The watch's sleep tracking is also accurate, and it provides me with useful insights into my sleep quality. PROS AND CONS PROS: Fast and responsive performance Long-lasting battery Bright and colorful display Accurate health and fitness tracking features Comprehensive feature set Tight integration with Google Assistant Affordable price compared with the competition. CONS: No blood oxygen sensing Only one size available that's relatively small Some features require Fitbit Premium As always with the Pixel line it has some software bugs, but as always too it'll be solved over time. CONCLUSION: Overall, I think that this is a good smartwatch for Android users. It's fast, responsive, and has a long-lasting battery. It also has a variety of health and fitness tracking features, a comprehensive feature set, and tight integration with Google Assistant. It's also affordable compared to the competition, making it a great value for the money. However, it's important to note that it doesn't have blood oxygen sensing, which is a feature that some users may find important, and you need to pay a subscription to have access to some premium features. Additionally, the watch is only available in one size, which may not fit everyone. Finally, there are a few minor software bugs that I'm confident that Google is working on fixing.

Pairs perfectly with the Pixel 8 Pro!
Amazing smartwatch! I am getting 48+ hours of battery life on this, which is good for a full featured smartwatch at this size! The Google ecosystem just keeps getting better and better! I have the Pixel 8 Pro, Pixel Buds Pro, and the Pixel Watch 2 and they all coincide perfectly with each other! I have a Spigen lite case on the watch and it makes it look a little bit more rugged for when I'm hiking, but I can also take the case off and swap the band to make it look a little bit more professional since I am an Insurance agent. If you're in the market for a new smartwatch I highly recommend this!
