Love love love my watch, stays chargers for majority of the day, and connects to phone very well. I love how clear you can hear someone when calls come through the watch. I have a case on mines which does make it a little harder when texting but you can always use the voice to talk as a choice for texting which will always be a great feature.

This is a really nice piece of tech! I swapped out my Samsung Galaxy Watch5 for the Pixel Watch 2. I am very happy with my purchase. Besides missing gestures like I had on the SGW5, everything is better. The screen is nicer, the haptics are better, the UI is a bit smoother and quicker. I even like the band a little better. *The YouTube reviewers were right when they said the battery life is way better than the first iteration. I just had my PW2 last 2 days!

This watch is everything I wanted. I used to have an apple watch and Fitbit. I preferred the Fitbit. The pixel watch is perfect because it's a true smartwatch with Fitbit integrated. I have no complaints with the bezels because the software make it unnoticeable. The battery life is comparable to the apple watch.

Hi there, BelindaJK. Thanks for sharing your positive experience with the Google Pixel Watch 2. It's great to hear that the watch aligns with your expectations and preferences. The integration of Fitbit features into a true smartwatch seems to be a standout feature for you, especially considering your past experiences with both Apple Watch and Fitbit.

Love it! Originally had the Samsung watch but i have a pixel phone and this is way more compatible. The ecg is great, I've had family members borrow the watch to try the ecg. Also love the sleep tracking feature. Its nice to see when i slept well or when i need a nap. Overall fantastic watch!

Really good battery life, love that it can be connected to Fitbit and really user friendly. The only thing I wouldn't recommend getting this for is tracking your sleep, but that truly depends on your schedule.

This is the best purchase I have made. The battery life lasts a day or two depending on what you do. The wristband is really comfortable and you forget you are wearing the watch because it's that comfortable

I am pleased with the Google Oixel 2 watch. I will advise that when you set your watch up make sure you pay attention or cut everything off and then selct what you want on. It does increase the battery charge for the day. The draw back i have os that Google and Fitbit are one in the same company and they have yet to bridge the Google Fit and Fitbit app to make a better sync process and better fitness app that covers all the bases you may want or require in a smart watch.

Got it free with the pixel 8 pro purchase. Never thought I'd make the switch to a smart watch. And now I use it everyday. Good watch and great battery life.

It came in execellent condition the watch just like advertised, only small defect is that the smaller watch band behind it had a little cut. Doesn't bother me because I'm using the longer band. Other than that the watch is perfect !

I noticed my doctor wearing this same watch at an appt. He told me he can keep an eye on alot of health markers including how much sleep he's getting. I thought it was fantastic and really pretty as well. I love that i can change the watch face to go with whatever I'm wearing and even check my heart rate. It's an all around win i love it!

Feature-Rich Fitness Companion with a Few Hiccups

----- SUMMARY -----
Verdict:
The Pixel Watch 2 is a great smartwatch for people who want a lot of features and are serious about tracking their health and fitness. It's sleek and comfortable to wear, and it has a lot of great features, like heart rate monitoring, sleep tracking, and automatic workout tracking. However, the software could be better, and some features are only available with a subscription. Plus, it only comes in one size, which might not be ideal for everyone. Overall, it's a great smartwatch, but there are a few things that could be improved.
Pros:
- Sleek and elegant design
- Comfortable to wear
- Fast performance
- Accurate heart rate and step tracking
- Wide variety of health metrics
- All-day battery life
- Charges quickly
Cons:
- Wear OS could be better
- Some features require a subscription
- Only one size option
- Large bezel
----- DETAILS -----
Design:
The Pixel Watch 2 is sleek and simple, just like its predecessor. The curved glass edges look great on any wrist, but I'm disappointed that there's only one size option. The watch looks a bit too small on my wrist, and I like my watches to make a statement. The Pixel Watch 2 just looks dainty.
Most watch faces on the Pixel Watch 2 make the black bezels mostly unnoticeable, but any colorful backgrounds or apps make them apparent. This makes the screen feel small, which is unfortunate because the screen is already smaller than I'd like. The large bezels eat into the screen real estate, which is a bummer.
Okay, so the Pixel Watch 2 isn't perfect. Its design has a few minor flaws, but overall, it's a great smartwatch. It's comfortable to wear, the interface is easy to navigate, and it's durable. The Corning Gorilla Glass 5 and 5 ATM water resistance mean you can wear it swimming, in the shower, or in the rain. I also appreciate that Google made the body out of 100% recycled aluminum. It's not as durable as stainless steel, but it's still strong enough to withstand everyday wear and tear. And it's a lot lighter, which is nice.
Software & Performance:
The Pixel Watch 2 is equipped with Wear OS 4, Google's latest smartwatch operating system. It's easy to use: swipe left or right to see tiles for your calendar, weather, steps, heart rate, and more. Swipe down to see your settings, and swipe up to see your notifications. You can also access Google Assistant by pressing and holding the crown or by raising your wrist and saying "Hey Google." It's all very intuitive and easy to use.
Apps like Gmail and WhatsApp are surprisingly functional and useful on the Pixel Watch 2. They're easy to use, with designs similar to the phone apps. Typing out a message is doable, but using speech to type is way more efficient. The built-in microphone picks up my voice really well in a variety of environments, so I almost never have to correct any major mistakes.
I've run into a few Wear OS bugs here and there that I hope will be fixed in future updates. One is that I don't always get all the notifications from my phone. I'll sometimes see a notification pop up on my phone's lock screen and expect the same from the Pixel Watch 2, but nothing happens. This makes me hesitant to leave my phone somewhere inaccessible for a while, in case I miss an important notification. The other thing I've noticed is that there's sometimes a significant delay between the buzz of a new notification and the notification actually appearing on the screen. I'm hopeful that bugs like these will be fixed, because otherwise Wear OS on the Pixel Watch 2 is snappy and responsive.
Fitness & Health:
The Pixel Watch 2 is packed with sensors that track your health and fitness in all kinds of ways. Two of the key sensors are the skin temperature sensor and the continuous electrodermal activity (cEDA) sensor. These sensors work together to monitor signs of stress, and you can choose to get notifications that ask you to rate your mood. If you select "frustrated" or "stressed," the watch will suggest a breathing exercise or a walk to help you relax. The Pixel Watch 2 can also alert you if it detects an irregular heart rhythm.
The Pixel Watch 2 is awesome for tracking your workouts. It's super easy to start tracking a workout by selecting it on the watch, or the watch will automatically start tracking seven different exercises for you, including running, walking, outdoor biking, indoor biking, treadmill, rowing, or elliptical. I've found the prompts to be reliable, and once I'm done exercising, I get a notification within a few minutes to end the workout. Other features like pace training and heart zone training let you visualize your pace or heart zone so you can optimize your training and reach your goals.
Sleep data is also tracked really well on the Pixel Watch 2. You can see a breakdown of your sleep with graphs showing how much time you spent in each stage of sleep, like REM and deep sleep. It also tracks how much time you spent in restorative sleep. All of this data is used to calculate a personalized sleep score that tells you how well you slept.
Some cool features, like the Daily Readiness Score, which gives you workout intensity and recovery guidance, as well as the personalized sleep analysis profiles and insights into the factors influencing your sleep and stress scores, are only available through Fitbit Premium, which costs $10 a month or $80 a year. It would be nice if some of these valuable features were available without a premium subscription, but that's just how it is.
Battery & Charging:
The Pixel Watch 2 is a beast when it comes to battery life. You can use it for a full 24 hours with the always-on display enabled, which is something the previous version couldn't do. Of course, if you're tracking workouts or installing a lot of apps, the battery will drain faster, but you should still be able to get through a full day on a single charge.
The charging speed is also pretty impressive. If the battery is almost dead, just 30 minutes of charging will get it to about 70%, and an hour will fully charge it. I find the fast charging especially useful for sleep tracking. I usually put the Pixel Watch 2 on its charger while I'm getting ready for bed, and it always has enough charge for a full night of sleep tracking by the time I hop in.
