Customer Ratings & Reviews

I found it difficult to rate 3 or 4 stars, so ideally, 3.5/5 would be my rating. My review of this watch is coming from a current Garmin Epix Pro 2 and Apple Watch 7 owner's perspective and having owned random Android Wear watches in the past. Immediately, upon taking it out of the box, I felt was way too small (especially since my Garmin is "normal" size to me). If you didn't like the original Pixel Watch, this one looks exactly the same, but it's internals have been updated. I have been getting about a day out of a charge, which is fine (my Garmin can easily go 30 days..) but feels low these days. I'd say the minimum a smartwatch should consistently deliver is 3 days. We are almost there with Apple, which is the logical competitor to this PW2, but there is still a ways to go for all smart watch manufacturers. Hardware is just okay to me. Like I said upfront, it's just too small. I feel silly wearing it as compared to my Garmin or Apple Watch. It just looks funny to me since it's "dainty" lol. It is, however, beautiful with it's curved glass design, I just want a 51mm version. The sensors and components that are packed into such a small design are undoubtedly impressive, but I dislike the Fitbit angle. To me, it's just another ecosystem for storing my fitness data. I wish there was a universally-agreed upon standard that smartwatch manufacturers were required to follow, so my health data can be easily imported into a "competing" ecosystem without a bunch of hoops and exports. Not saying this Pixel Watch 2's Fitbit integration is a bad thing, but I really dislike having to sign-up for yet ANOTHER health app. Google doesn't make it mandatory, but it's one of those things that is a general rant about the current smartwatch/fitness device scene. Using the Pixel watch in my daily routine feels smooth and surprisingly coherent, likely due to me using Google services for everything. The OLED is really high quality and gets bright enough. The small size makes using it a bit difficult since the actual canvas is pretty tiny for most fingers. I would hope Google has some plans here for larger future versions, but I digress. It gets plenty bright in sunlight and I find the artistic visions in each watch face to be impressive. The flow of the OS and everything together paired to an Android phone (Pixel 8 Pro in my case) works flawlessly. I'm pretty careful with my stuff, so I don't feel too nervous I'm going to bump it into a concrete wall, but I am left wanting a more tough and rugged design, akin to an Apple Watch Ultra. The bands are fine, just too skinny for my liking. I guess the available bands have to be small too, since the watch frame itself is small. The clasping mechanism of the band is secure and comfortable. The haptics are done well and hopefully, at this point, we are beyond our days of rattly vibration motors in phones and watches. Finally, Google is tying everything together under it's Pixel line. The future of the brand and specifically their watch platform, is no doubt bright. I hope to have a larger size available in the future, but for now, I'm just happy to wear a Pixel Watch 2 in concert with my Pixel 8 Pro. The daily usefulness of it all working together is impressive and I don't know how I managed everything before all of this. Make a larger one please!

Didnt soend more than 5 minutes and new iit wasnt for me. I currently use galaxy watch 5 pro, and dont see me changing it out anytime soon

Battery life is horrible, can barely get a full day in with full features on.

Poor battery life, I am going to change by Samsung.

Will not do notifications. Goes to lock screen too fast, not a big fan. Can't return, promo. Do not recommend

Cannot connect to a pixel 8 pro which makes no sense. Works with a Samsung phone but not pixel. Good job google...

The Google Pixel Watch 2 is a modest upgrade to the original Pixel watch, but now feels like the watch that Google should have released in the first place. The biggest improvement is the battery life. Without Always on Display, the Pixel Watch 2 will last 2 days before needing to be put on the charger. With Always on Display, you can easily make it over a full day before needing to be charged. Another feature of this watch is that Google is now using Aluminum materials instead of the last generation’s stainless steel. It really is only a 5-gram savings in weight but after wearing it for long periods of time while working out, it just feels better. Another reason for potential battery savings is that Google upgraded to using a quad-core processor instead of the previous dual-core processor. This theoretically allows the process to finish quicker than before and newer chipsets are just more energy efficient. Having both the original Pixel Watch and this newer Pixel Watch 2, scrolling between screens and widgets just feels quicker and smoother. One of the knocks on the previous generation of Pixel Watches was the lack of full Fitbit on the watch. It incorporated some but always felt like it was lacking Fitbit features. Now the Pixel Watch 2 includes new sensors on the watch that automatically detect your stress levels and heart rate and alert you if you are out of your normal ranges. This enhances the value of the Pixel Watch 2 because it acts like an additional set of eyes on your heath. The original Pixel Watch had ECG capabilities, but it was difficult to use and only works on demand. The new Pixel Watch 2 automatically runs the ECG periodically and notifies you if it detects an irregular heart rhythm. Again, this allows you to worry about one less thing to do on your watch. The other improvement the Pixel Watch 2 has over its predecessor is Automatic Workout Detection. Before you had to trigger the activity on the watch. Now if you start running, it will automatically track your workout. The one big knock I have on this watch is the new charging dongle. It is true that moving away from wireless charging to charging with pins that provide metal on metal contact with the charging base and the watch lets it charge slightly faster. However, the watch now only charges in one direction. Try and put it on the charger in any orientation besides the correct orientation and the magnet just pushes the watch off. Also, the charging base is smaller than the previous charging base and is not backwards compatible. So, if you had any charging accessories for the previous generation of Pixel Watch, you would just have to throw it away and reinvest in the new charger. What would have been great was if you could charge the watch in any orientation if the pins align on the charger and watch. With the Pixel Watch 2 configuration, the crown button must align with the wire coming out of the charging base. Besides The charging annoyance, the Pixel Watch 2 is one of the best smartwatches out there because it looks like a watch. Sure, it would have been nicer to see a potentially larger screen size, I feel like the size is nice and not intrusive.

It was defective and had to be returned. Best buy Geek Squad was very helpful

Google should make a bigger size and not settle with one size only... This Pixel Watch 2 is very small on my hand and around my wrist. The original wrist band is not long enough. The watch with its small round display looks very small on my wrist. Another bad thing is the primitive contacts charger... Why not wireless already? Setting it up was easy and straight forward. My Pixel 8 Pro connected to it just fine. I like how the pixel phone shows the battery status of the watch on the screen. Battery life is very good. Charging speed is also good. I am charging it only when it is having low battery. Sometimes it is lasting full 3 days with Fitbit health monitoring, calls and high usage in general. The OS works very fine and easy to navigate through, the crown is useful and accurate. The watch can be customized to match your personality and needs. It lost WiFi and Bluetooth couple times when left to idle. It started working better after reset. The microphone works fine on it. Didn't have any issues with it. Google Pay worked fine every time I tried it. It is packing some nice features for elderlies as fall detection. I tried to fake falling and it wasn't triggered. It is either working very fine or maybe not at all. I can't tell. Notifications are shown very nicely. Changing the mode on the watch would change it also on the phone. I'd recommend it if you have fitbit for long time now and are looking to add smartness to your fitness tracker. Google Pixel Watch would allow you to continue using your fitbit but also will give you more options. Sensors on the Pixel Watch 2 are very sensitive and very accurate. It would be nice to see them adding the blood pressure measurement function to the list.

0 for customer support as they did not help wih anything

My last experience with WearOS was exciting at first, but the excitement wore off quickly as the battery life was miserable on the device. Since some time has passed since then, I decided to give it another whirl because I liked everything else about it, and this time it was a Google-branded device - every one of which I've tried has kept me more than satisfied! The Pixel Watch 2 has everything previous WearOS watches have had, plus now integrates FitBit software for tracking your day to day fitness activities, sleep, movement, heart rate, blood pressure, etc. Since it's a Google device, it will also be the first to get updates when Google releases them. The display is incredible - I can't rave about it enough! Super detailed, colors are uber-vibrant, and they look as though they are popping off the screen. Audio coming from the watch is loud and clear. I'm amazed what they've accomplished with a speaker so small! I typically shy away from these rubber/silicone bands, but this one is very comfortable and I like the locking mechanism. I typically use metal watch bands but they tend to slip and slide and move all around as my wrist always falls right between two sizes. That doesn't happen with this one. Additionally, the band halfs can be removed easily with a push of a button and sliding the band to the side, so you can customize it whenever, wherever you want. Battery - I'm actually making it through an entire day with a little juice to spare without having to set the watch to turn off my display completely. Complaints? Only small ones - not enough to really fuss about or deduct stars for. I'd like to see Google offer a "case", which hopefully aftermarket ones will come out soon. I worry that I may accidentally smack my wrist against something hard and break the watch or display. Also, I'd like to see a slightly larger version be made available as this watch looks a little petite on my wrist.

This is my second Pixel watch. I got the first version right when it launched. I always loved that watch, and this second generation is exactly the same. They definitely took things up a notch. Right out of the box it’s a very beautiful looking watch, yet very simple and non-obtrusive. I have had some watches where the face was huge and it sat 1/2” above your wrist. This one is nice and minimal. Although if you are a guy with big hands and wrists, this might look a little bit small. Wish Google would offer at least 2 different sizes, maybe 3. But I think for most people it will fit and look fine. I got the WIFI only version, but there is also an LTE version that can connect to cellular networks so you can make calls and things on the go without having your phone with you. Google recently acquired Fitbit so everything has all been merged. You can now easily get set up using your google login. I found the setup to be a breeze. I was up and running in a matter of minutes! If you have a previous Fitbit account it will just ask you to merge your account which is easy to do. Getting into the operation of the watch. If you had the previous Pixel watch you will be very familiar with the layout of everything. If you haven’t, its very simple and intuitive to navigate. You can swipe left or right to access the different tiles (think of them as mini apps). You can also swipe down on the face to easily access all the settings as well. You can also easily customize the watch so it is exactly what you need. There are tons of different watch faces. You can also change the text size, which I really appreciate. As I get older, I find it harder and harder to read small text, so that was a huge selling pint for me and something that a lot of other manufacturers surprisingly don’t include on their watches. As far as the health stats and monitoring and all of that. This thing is loaded! It will do all your sleep monitoring, keeping track of your heart rate and sleep stages and skin temperature. You can also monitor pretty much any kind of workout you do as well. It has an auto-workout mode which I love because I always forget to start my watch on the workout monitoring before I start the workout. I found it to work very well, although I basically just do walking and biking for my main workouts. Not sure how it would do on any weight training or cardio and things like that. It collects a ton of data during your workout to give you a nice post-workout snapshot of what your body was doing. I also have a high-end Garmin watch and I did a little side by side comparison and I found a lot of the tracking levels like heart rate to be on par with a watch that is 3 times more expensive. You can also do ECG readings as well as have it let you know if it ever detects an irregular heartbeat which literally can save your life! I remember a few months back I had a pulmonary embolism and after I got home and was recovering, I got a notification from my watch that I had an irregular heartbeat. I was just sitting on the couch relaxing, but my heart rate was over 130 because of the embolism. Things like that are so useful to have on a watch because even though I felt like I was just sitting and relaxing, something was wrong in my body and my watch was able to alert me about it. I love that Google includes features like this on their watch. They can literally be live saving! The watch also has Google pay, maps, music, and all of the other common apps that most watches have. You are also able to switch out the bands to customize it more towards your personality. I know Google sells bands as well as many 3rd party manufacturers. All in all, this is an amazing watch with a lot of premium features. I wish there were a couple more size options. Maybe something like a sapphire screen option for more durability as well instead of the one-size fits all approach. But other than that, this is definitely a great watch that you should check out!

After seeing so many people with smart watches and with this being FitBit compatible, I decided to get on the bandwagon and get one. I can understand all the buzz now. Transferring FitBit over to this watch was effortless. The Google Pixel Watch 2 works great with my FitBit app. All information that I had on that app from my FitBit watch transferred quickly over to this watch. I did read that this watch will work with most any newer Android version phone and that will be a plus for my daughter when she gets one of these watches, since she does not have a Google Pixel phone. This particular watch model is for WiFi which means you basically need your phone on and nearby for a lot of the things you want to do with it. When using this watch in your home with your phone in a room, there is no need to run after your cell phone to answer it. All you need to do is use this watch to answer it and talk. You can also call someone, read or send messages via email, text people and receive text messages. Since Google Assistance is on this smart watch, you can do everything directly from your watch. Rather than asking a Google stationary device to do something, you can just ask your Google Pixel 2 watch to do it instead, turn on/off lights, ask the temperature in your garage, etc. There are so many apps you can put on this watch it seems they have thought of just about everything. Easy set up in no time. I wasn’t sure how much the watch was charged from the factory, so the first thing I did was charge it for a very short time, then turned on the watch, chose my language and followed the instructions on my phone. This was an exceptionally easy setup if you have set up previous smart watches. Without having a previous smart watch, the set up has a definite learning curve to get everything set up and done with everything you want your watch to do. But it is not hard, you just need to learn about your watch and what it does and how to achieve what you want out of it. It took me about 10 minutes for set up and about an hour for updates and getting it exactly as I wanted with apps, syncing with the apps, etc. With setup I did prefer to buy a USB-C wall adapter (none came with the watch) to charge this instead of plugging into my computer. With so many devices now using USB-C, I think the USB-C adapter will come in handy for many other things. A full charge, can take up to about an hour and 15 minutes if battery is extremely low, and it should last about 24 hours depending on how much you use it. I have to say, this watch seems to charge super-fast compared to other smart watches I have had. The watch has a very comfortable watch band and you would hardly know it is there, unlike other bands I have had in the past. Since I have a bigger wrist, I needed to switch out the smaller band that is attached to the watch for the larger one that also comes with it. Switching this was very easy and took no time at all. I am so glad they include this option for people with larger hands. I love that I can easily view emails, answer calls, track my sleep, track via GPS my walking routine (with my phone attached to my arm), listen to music, look at my heart rate and even take an ECG reading for my heart. There is so much more that this smart watch can do! I can even pay with my watch with Google Wallet (at stores that participate). Google Pixel Watch 2 is worth every penny and cheaper when compared to some other smart watches on the market. I very highly recommend this smart watch and am very pleased with all that it does. I could go on and on about it, because it can do so many more things than what I have mentioned here.

I've used this watch for four days and I've really enjoyed it. I'm upgrading from a Sense 2 using a pixel 7 android phone and I feel like using the pixel watch 2 addressed some of my biggest frustrations with the sense 2. I had to replace a catch-fire-on-your-wrist Ionic and went with the Sense 2 which had the most robust feature set at the time and had three really big issues with it: 1) Its horrible to try and use with gloves (below freezing) or when its over 85 F and 90+% humidity, kinda like it was designed by a California company that was unaware the rest of the country has inclement weather. 2) I really (like really really) missed my buttons on the Ionic - the touch screen was always doing the opposite of what I wanted, especially on runs when it would pause or end my activity with the slightest bead of sweat or tug on my sleeve. 3) If I'm honest, I expected more and more functionality out of the Sense 2 but felt like the amount of third party of first party apps was going down instead of up. Having a Google Home integrated house and not being able to do anything about it on my Google-manufactured smart watch was really frustrating. I bring all of this up to contrast my Pixel Watch: the Pixel Watch does a FANTASTIC job being my workout companion, I find it easy to get to my workouts and I can lock the screen so my run or bike ride gets recorded in full. Out of the box the Pixel Watch provides the kind of integrated Google experience I expect where I can manage my smart home, including unlock Yale doors or turn on Philips light bulbs without worrying about where my phone is. I also like how configurable the out of the box watch faces and widgets are: I was able to customize my watch face for the four stats I care most about (HR, outdoor temp, calendar and steps) and there are helpful widgets that provide better insights into my biosensor/fitbit data than any predecessor fitbit device provided. New features like sensing when I'm stressed are cool, but I haven't quite figured out how to make them valuable to me. I did tweak my screen settings so that it taps to wake screen and that's given me around a day and half battery for a charge: Great for a true smart watch but significantly less than most garmin and fitbit products Observations that weren't dealbreakers for me: 1) I had to go onto the forums and learn how to do a hard reboot of the watch during initial setup since it didn't work the first time: worked perfect the second try. 2) In order to setup FitBit on the watch I had to migrate my fitbit account to a google account. This proved difficult since we have a fitbit family account and while I'm the primary guardian of our fitbit account my wife is the primary guardian in google. It was pretty frustrating but we eventually figured that out. 3) I have yet to get Google Wallet to work on my watch: this one actually bugs me a bit since I really want to be able to complete purchases without fishing out wallet or phone - much cleaner and safer. 4) I already have fitbit premium because I found the additional functionality worth it without a pixel watch, but not everyone will agree and you really should consider it to get the most from the watch.

I've had a smart watch for years, but it's hard to believe what they can do now. I performed an EKG on myself to get some heart diagnostics... with my watch! I'm getting a little ahead of myself here, but one of the interesting things is the number of disclaimers you have to agree to with regard to the health measurements. I understand why they have them, as this is likely not going to be as precise as what you might get from medical equipment at a medical office - but I can still see how valuable this is for anyone wanting better measures of their health. Despite the disclaimers, I’m sure these readings will be consistent to themselves - so if there are any concerning trend lines, it could alert me to see my doctor. My main use case for this smart watch is to get notifications as I typically keep my phone in my pocket. I think we’ve all had our share of “phantom notifications” - so also getting them on your wrist gives the certainty that, yes, you did get a notification, and you can see if it’s something you need to take your phone out for or not. The WearOS interface makes it pretty easy to disable notifications that you don’t want to see, although it’s a bit challenging to add them back if you’re not getting them. But this will constantly update as new updates to the watch and my phone occur. I also like the scroll dial on the side to help read longer notifications. It’s really useful, especially since the watch face itself is obviously much smaller than a smartphone screen, so swiping to read blocks your view with your finger. It’s also far more precise, and I find myself using it more each day this way. The only drawback I can see with this watch - I’m surprised it’s not wirelessly chargeable. It has its own special charging cord that is only for this watch. I hope that cord never gets damaged (or I don’t lose it), because it’s rather unique. Wireless charging has become somewhat commonplace now, so that would have been a better way to go. Also, it comes with a subscription to the Fitbit capabilities now built-in. I appreciate the ability to try what Fitbit can do for me, but I’m a little surprised that it doesn’t auto-detect when I’m active, such as going for a walk or run. The sleep tracking elements might be useful, I’ll have to see if it offers tips over time for how to get more effective rest. Right now it shows me the different stages of sleep and how long I’m in each stage, which is something I had without a monthly subscription in an older smart watch. To anyone considering this watch - an important thing to remember is that Google is very good and aggressive with updates - so unless there’s something you don’t like about the size or physical placement of buttons - know that it will be updated and things that bother you might improve. I don’t think that can be said for many other watches.

I really like my watch and all of the health and safety features that it has. It keeps me mindful of my health, and encourages me to keep healthy habits at the front of my mind. I am also at ease knowing that I can call for help instantly if I need it, and do safety checks if I am feeling uneasy. I keep the "always on" turned off and usually have about 35% battery left when I'm ready to go to sleep and it only takes about 15-20 minutes to get it charged back up to 100%. I feel like people complain about the battery a lot, and it's fine. I also bang my watch against walls, doors, and other things throughout the day and have no issues with scratching or anything like that. You'd really need to take a hard fall before it took noticeable damage. Some things I would like Google to add: 1. A native daily water intake app that gives you a gentle vibration every so often if you are falling short of meeting your daily goal. Basically, the same thing those water bottles with the hour marks have but digital. There are third party apps, but there is no reminder feature so I forgot I had it installed after a couple days. 2. Many more options for watch faces! The Galaxy watch has some really cool ones, and I feel like a lot of people would choose that over Pixel Watch just based on how basic this one looks in the advertised picture. Also, add some holiday ones into the mix so that we can change our watch with the seasons. Partner with MLB, NFL, NBA and get watch faces for our favorite teams. Something!! Even the app store is lacking here. 3. A couple of simple games that are meant to be played in short bursts (2-3 minutes) for when we are bored, on the loo, riding transportation, or whatever other in-between moments people have. There are some in the app store that are "eh" but I am sure it can't be that hard to come up with a couple games to keep us entertained. Also, since the watch supports games I am unsure why they are not using that as an opportunity to market the watch and its features. 4. More watch bands in various colors and patterns from Google at a reasonable price. I am tired of buying basic Made In China watch bands to fill the gap left by Google. They literally cost $2 to make and you could sell them for $15 and sell a ton.

I've tried Samsung watches, Garmins, Amazfits, and Ticwatches and this is by far the best blend of smartwatch features and fitness features out of the bunch...but I wish they would offer a larger size option. Being a Pixel 7 Pro owner, the Pixel Watch offers the best smartwatch experience where it runs WearOS 4 and has all the tight smartwatch/smartphone integration where I can use Google Assistant, send texts, use voice dictation, take calls using the microphone and speaker (via my phone since I have a wifi version), there’s Google Maps integration, and countless other features that make sense for a Google Pixel phone user to take full advantage of the ecosystem. And being in to health and fitness, having Fitbit functionality built in is amazing where I can track my steps, calories, and workouts - and it’s nice that it’s actually a part of the watch and not just like an add-on. I've had Fitbits and they always lacked on the smartwatch side of things - this is completely different where you get the best of both worlds. I also love the look - it’s smooth, sleek, and looks different than many other smartwatches out there. I just wish it was larger. I had high hopes for Google coming out with a larger size this year with their second version since I have a 7 inch wrist. It’s comfortable but just would love something more appropriate for my wrist size. Even so it's still the best option for an Android phone owner for a fitness smartwatch as long as you are OK with the size and charging your watch every day.

This is the succeesor to the first pixel watch that came out about a year ago. This watch is better in every way but let's find out if you should upgrade to get this watch. Inside the box you get The charger puck which isn't wireless anymore The watch And the large band as well They advertise this watch now getting all day battery life with AOD on. It also has better sensors as well for your health related stuff as well. I myself use the watch mostly for notifications, telling the time and to track my steps. You can also track your sleep as well and now workouts will be tracked and started automatically if you forget which is new compared to the first watch. As far as battery life goes I found the first one would last me throughout the day barely with around 10-25% when I go to bed. Now with this one I have around 40-55% battery life. Which is quite an improvement. Enough I would use it to sleep track if I didn't have other devices that didn't do it already . Also this device does integrate with Fitbit and Fitbit premium which makes tracking your health data quite easily as well. If you're looking to buy a new android watch I would say this is a great option but I wouldn't necessarily upgrade from the first gen unless you really want that better battery life.

I'm very happy with my purchase. The assistant helped me to make right decision, he was very competent and explained me all the features of pixel watch and other watches. I stopped my choice on pixel watch and didn't regret at all. Good watch, works great, has everything I need and everything I was looking for.

First off, I tested this watch with my Pixel 5 phone. It connected and configured together easily and without any problems. Before getting into any details, there is one major problem that prevents me from recommending this watch. The watch allows you to answer the call on either the watch or the phone. The sound quality of the call on the watch is not great so you will likely answer the call on the phone. Most of the time this works fine but sometimes when a call comes in, the screen on the phone turns completely off and you can’t answer the call on the phone, and you are stuck with the call on the watch. It usually works correctly but when it doesn’t, you can’t answer the call. Hopefully this will be fixed but right now, it is a no go. Now on with the review. This watch and required apps on your phone have everything but the kitchen sink. This means that there are likely all the features you could want on it, but also means that the watch is very complicated to use and hard to navigate. Luckly, the apps on the phone are well written, easy to use, and easy to navigate. Before using it, you have two watch band sizes to choose from that are included. Hopefully the one already attached is the right size because it is difficult to change it to the other one. Once you can attach it, it is very comfortable to wear but don’t expect an easy go at it. When set up with default settings, the battery lasts for a little less than 24 hours so expect to charge it around the same time every day. Charging it requires a special USB-C cable included but takes only around an hour so not that long. I do wish the battery lasted longer such as a few days that my previous watch lasted. There are a bunch of faces that you can select from that include simple time ones to much more complex ones that give a lot more information such as time, date, notifications, bio data, etc., all on one screen which is great and convenient. Changing them requires a simple tap on the screen and swiping to pick the one you want. In addition to selecting one, you can change the size, font, and color of the items on the watch face to your liking. You can set the watch to either always show the watch face, which is very convenient, off until tapped, and shows only when you look at the watch. I like the setting that always shows the face, but this does affect the battery. Swiping the face works flawlessly and gives you various bio data, calendar, access to watch apps, weather, and notifications. All are very easy to read on the screen and access. The sensitivity of swiping is great. Swiping up gives you a history of notifications you received such a messages and email that you can read. And new emails and messages are displayed as soon as they come in. This all works great. Swiping in a different direction gives you access to all the settings. There are a thousand of them, so it is too much to discuss but assume you really have the flexibility to set the watch exactly like you want it to behave. There are two apps that you install on your phone to operate the watch. One is the Google Watch app and the other is the Fitbit app. Both are very well laid out and work great with the watch. The Google watch app allows you to make a bunch of settings changes and is easier to make than on the watch itself. It also gives you basic info such connect, battery life, charging, and up time. Very easy to use. The Fitbit app is also very easy to use. You get all the bio info such as steps, floor, BPM, sleep time, calories, and much more. It gives you goals to try and awards for them. There are coaches and training videos if you buy the Fitbit premium subscription. Finally, there is an optional safety app that you can configure to handle a bunch of different safety issues such as falling, car crashes, crisis events, etc. They are very easy to configure what you want the watch to do in these cases. Because of the nature of them, I was not able to test using this. There is a watch Play Store like the one on your phone. It is not obvious how to get there though. You must press the small secondary button on the watch which is where you will find it. I wish it was in a place that was more obvious. There are a ton of apps to choose from. Think of all the apps available in the Play Store on your phone and you get the idea. To get some basic features on the phone, you must install some apps that don’t come preloaded on the watch but those are easy to find once you have found the Play Store. There are a bunch of readings you can get such as steps, stairs, heart rate, sleep quality and time, distance walked, and calories burned. As is typical of a watch like this, you can start a workout and it will track it such as distance and speed for the appropriate workout types. There are literally dozens of workout types included so no matter what you like to do, there is likely a workout type for it. It works well, is very accurate, and basically the same as other similar types of watches. One annoyance is that it will tell you near the end of the hour how many more steps you should take before the hour ends. This sounds good, but for example, if you are in an hour-long meeting, you haven’t taken any steps, and it will interrupt you to tell you haven’t done enough. There are an endless number of things you can do with this, and it is fun to try everything you can find, and even more with all the apps you can download. Unfortunately, because you can’t always consistently answer the phone from the phone while the watch is on and connected, and the sound quality of the call on the watch is not good enough to use, I can’t recommend this until it is fixed which will hopefully be soon, which breaks my heart because everything else is so great.
