    Tougher than it looks

    So my main concern with a glass bubble is that I'm going to break it, scratch it, or ruin it somehow. After a week it's still pristine. Now a week isn't a long time, but I put the watch through some pretty tough work. First was a general lifting session. Yes, I was trying to baby the watch and being as conscious as I could about not banging the watch on anything, but I failed and did bang a few times. I was genuinely surprised that there's not a scratch or scuff. Next task was a bit rougher. I had to build my dogs a new house. We laid out some concrete a week ago and decided that this house was going to be with clay bricks. I really wanted to take off the Pixel Watch 2 because I knew I'd break it. What a shock that the watch still has no scratches from loading and unloading bricks - the band can't say the same, lol. Now I know it was a torture test, but I wasn't brave enough to keep it on while laying bricks and messing with sandy mortar. So far I've used the Pixel Watch 2 for a few cycling workouts. I use QZ app and Heart for Bluetooth to pair my watch's HRM to the QZ app and didn't have any issues. I just subbed to TrainerDay app but haven't had a chance to see if the data transfers over to allow it to communicate the heartrate, but I'm sure it'll work. Both my bike and the PW2 always showed the same heart rate, so either they're both off exactly the same or they're both equally accurate. Interacting with the Pixel Watch 2 feels so much better than my other watch. The round bezels just feel natural for gliding across. I'm also liking using the crown to navigate instead of spinning around the bezel like my other watch does. Battery life is decent. My other watch uses 15-20% per 12hr day and I shut it off at night. The PW2 uses 30-40% under the same scenario. Part of it may be due to the fact that you have no option to turn off the heart rate monitor. The claim is the battery drain is minimal, but when your battery capacity is minimal then that small drain hits hard on a small battery. Also, one night had a drain of 34% overnight while POWERED OFF. It wouldn't have been a big deal if wireless charging was an option. I have a ton of watch wireless charges and only one proprietary Pixel Watch 2 charger - which isn't cheap to get back ups for. Today is the day where it drained overnight. I had it at 76% percent with I powered off and put it on at 42% at 6AM. It's 3:10 now and I'm at 17%. This is with less than normal notifications from my Ring cameras and only one text. It'll last long enough for me to get home, but it won't be able to be of any use for the workout. I could throw it on the charger as soon as I get home, but I know I won't because I have to feed the animals first and charging isn't part of my normal routine once I get home. I'll just have to make sure that any time the watch isn't on my wrist to put it on a charger. Coming from my other watch (44mm) to the smaller Pixel Watch 2 really isn't as bad as I though it would be. The PW2 actually feels better on my wrist than the big monster. Now that I'm a little more comfortable with the durability of the PW2 I'll probably be retiring my old watch soon.

    Overall big improvement from Pixel Watch Battery is much better, with AOD on. It runs snappy. Only thing I frown on, is the BEZELS.

    I had to watch YouTube several times to start to have a server of what this pixel 2 watch could do, but I have to say, I'm loving it more each day. I originally bought it because my cardiologist thought I should be tracking my heart rate, but it does so much more than that and I'm enjoying all of the perks.

    I have an Apple Watch Ultra and a Samsung Galaxy 6 Classic and I like the Pixel Watch 2 the best out of the 3. I think it's the comfort and simplicity of it I don't even notice it on my wrist. It's also very comfortable to sleep with and the sleep tracking is great. The battery life is roughtly 36 hours and recharges fully in just over an hour.

    Top tier WearOS watch, snappy and useful

    Google really knocked it out of the park with the Watch 2. It has so many features, its hard to figure out all of it at once, but having 6 months of free fitbit premium gives you a better idea of what all it can do. The crazy amount of health data it can show is awesome, and the fact that you can do an ECG test, and at the end get a PDF to share with your health provider is nuts. (I don't have any issues currently, so I don't need the data, but its crazy cool that it works) It is plenty bright enough to see outside, even without the brightness boost, the screen is incredibly reactive, and it feels way snappier than other Watch OS based smart watches I've had and played with. (I liked that the included 2 sizes of strap, so you don't have to worry about ordering the incorrect one) My only gripes are, I wish there was a way to see SpO2 other than only at night, and the battery life is pretty horrible. I understand to have a smart watch of this level with this many features, we currently don't have battery tech to squeeze much more out of the size. I do understand that to actually have all these features, AND decent battery life, would make the watch obnoxiously large and unwieldy. (Luckily it charges quite quickly)

    I love the convenience of answering texts right there on my phone! It's nice not always having to have your phone right there by you. I like being able to answers calls too! I thought the price was fair, and the ease of making payments made it possible for me to have one. The only thing I don't like is I can't answer FB messages on it.

    I'm thrilled with my Google Pixel 2 watch. It does everything I wanted. I answer phone calls on it, can answer texts, it's easy to read, track steps and workouts. I did change the band pretty quickly, but that's easy enough to do and there are plenty of choices.

    As expected, better battery life than the previous model, and after not owning a smart watch for quite a few generations, seems like a pretty solid take from Google to rival the competition this year!

    Good but overpriced, Battery life questionable.

    Very light, good display, nice watch faces and effective use of complications. My dislikes are the price, $350 is a lot of money for a tiny screen, a device that loses 20% battery with always on off, and semi actively using it. My apple watch loses that amount of battery in an entire day. For the previous versions sale price of $199 it would feel resonable. I am attempting to switch from Apple and Google does not have an excuse for this lack of refinement in these areas.

    I really like the Google Pixel Watch 2. It's great as a watch in it's self or a great fitness accessory while working out, walking, running, etc. It appears very accurate, I did notice the GPS is sometimes slow to start. Overall, the style, color, and size are great.
