Massive Improvement over the OG pixel watch, the design is excellent, screen is great, the Fitbit integration is awesome. Over 24 hours of battery life with always on display enabled and it charges so fast it's hardly a detriment. The software is good and the OS is zippy and fast. The design is also great.

The watch is nice. The face could be a little larger though. The update made the font a little bigger to compensate. I like how I can use first generation watch bands on it still.

I really like my Pixel Watch 2 so far. The battery lasts all day and sending texts from my wrist with voice dictation has been a game changer. I'd love a slightly bigger watch face, but I can read everything I need to read on it. I'm not big into fitness, but I really do like the health monitoring features of this device. Overall it's a great addition to my life.

Google Pixel Fitbit Watch 2 can and will save your life, as it did mine! It can even do a quick ECG by simply lightly touching the crown! It can alert you when your BP can be life threatening or your pulse rate, detect a fall and call 911, take your temperature, too many benefits to list. Put a price on your life and then KNOW what a STEAL this Gem of a device it is! It quickly led a Dr. to realize I had a PE! Lightning FAST processor, don't require Cell to be with it to function independently! Definitely a must buy.

It has been years since I bought a smartwatch because I kept being disappointed in them. This finally satisfies the combination of acceptable battery life, reasonable price, reasonable size, etc. that I've been looking for. Haven't had any issues with it since purchase. If you're in the market, I would recommend this one.

I really wanted to like this watch. It is on the small side for a man's watch, but I was willing to overlook that detail in exchange for what I hoped would be the best Wear OS on the market. It worked great, and I liked a lot of the features.
The thing that made me return it was the fact that whatever they're putting in the metal on the back of the watch gave me a severe allergic reaction. I googled this and found that I am not alone on this. There are many people that develop what looks like a bad rash or burn on their wrist.
I would also like to point out that I have never had a reaction to any other watch I've ever worn including smartwatches from Fossil and LG that I've been wearing since they first became available. To me, this looks like the kind of thing that happens when a company wants to make things as cheaply as possible and doesn't really care about it's customers

The battery life has improved dramatically in the Pixel Watch 2 over the Pixel Watch. Its simple to use and is the best looking Wear OS watch available. It could be a little bigger but its still a beautiful watch on the wrist. It feels comfortable and keeps up with daily task. It has all the same functions as an Apple Watch, but feels more dedicated to health with Fitbit intergration and 6 months free premium. Great watch!

Please understand how the LTE feature works on this watch. You must have a cell phone plan that allows you to add another line, which may incur an additional cost.
This new line will serve as a separate phone number holder; however, the watch will use the phone's number.
In this mode, you can use the watch away from your phone—perfect for activities like jogging. You can make and receive calls.
If you are using the Wi-Fi-only option, the watch connects to your phone via Bluetooth. In this case, you must carry your phone to make calls and send text messages.
It’s important to note that activating LTE significantly drains the battery. I’ve been getting more than a day's use, 24 hours, from the watch when operating on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, even while walking about 30 miles a week using my Fitbit and the watch’s GPS.
You can call out, receive phone calls, send text messages, read and delete or archive GMail. However, you cannot initiate or reply to GMail messages from the watch.
With Facebook Messenger, you can receive incoming messages and reply to them, but you cannot start a new conversation from the watch.
Given the constraints of size and battery life, some of these limitations make sense.
Setting up an emergency tile is convenient; you can place it at the end of your tiles and swipe right to access it quickly.
Tiles are accessed by either swiping left or right from the main watch face.
You can also add a tile to display your favorite contacts for easy phone calls or use the Contacts option on the Tile screen to call others.
Google Maps is available and integrates interestingly with the watch. It can utilize offline maps that you download on your phone, which is especially useful if you're somewhere without your phone and need directions. The offline maps get transferred to the watch.
The "At a Glance" complication is available, allowing you to add it to the watch face to show the weather and your upcoming events and tasks.
They share the display space and window.
Just be aware that it pulls events only from your calendar and does not include any imported events or tasks from someone else’s calendar, which can be a bit disappointing.
There is a tile that shows all events and tasks in your calendar, including those added by others, so you can get to that information.
So what do I think, the experience?
I enjoy the ability to quickly send text messages and have an emergency call Tile available on my wrist.
The Fitbit functions are integrated into the watch, providing additional value. Fitbit can monitor a wide range of activities and also keep track of your sleep patterns, skin temperature during sleep, and heart rate, issuing warnings if any issues are detected.
It can run an ECG.
Understand these are not, nor do they claim to be a replacement for medical devices of the caliber of a hospital or doctor's office.
While you can receive incoming data from Gmail and Facebook Messenger, you can only reply to messages on Messenger.
This watch tends to grow on you; the more you wear it, the more you appreciate its features. Having easy access to make calls; there's a sense of safety to it, when you're out and about.
I highly recommend getting a screen protector as a must-have accessory. I purchased a Ringke TPU screen protector, along with their watch protector ring, which snaps over the watch to help shield it from bumps.
However, I advise against getting a glass screen protector as part of a combined unit with the watch protector, as moisture can become trapped between the glass of the watch and the glass of the protector, causing fogging during exercise, such as in a gym.

Great watch with Fitbit and LTE all in one

Finally a smartwatch with Fitbit and LTE all in one package! I have had many watches from Samsung and Garmin, but these watches lacked a good step tracker or did not have the ability to connect using a LTE network. The watch does lack a few features that are offered on a Samsung Galaxy watch 5 or 6 and something as a Garmin Venu 2 or 3. But, I am happy with this watch.
The watch allows me to connect using the T-Mobile network and listen to New York sport radio stations using iHeart radio. I live in Dallas and walk 4 to 8 miles a day. The connection using Bluetooth to my Bose earphones is great. The downside is, I need to turnoff the wi-fi, because the battery on the watch will drain very fast. The battery will last the 75mins while I listen to radio and track my steps. But, sometimes it won’t last the as well. I have found out that I need to restart the watch and make sure that I have a 100% charge before starting my walk.
Sure this watch does not have all the fitness and tracking features of a Garmin or the gimmicks of the Samsung Galaxy watches, but this watch does the trick for what it should do as a Smartwatch:
1) receive notifications text or email
2) track steps
3) connect to a LTE network
4) Look great in a simple design
5) track your sleep and provide feedback on your health
Like I said, I have own both Samsung/Garmin watches, but I never thought that I would get a watch for what it should be design to do in a simple but comfortable design.
The feeling of swiping across the screen and my finger just moving off the screen is wonderful. I don’t understand why other manufacturers don’t copy this design. The weight of the watch is light enough to wear it to sleep without that feeling of having a weight around your wrist.
I am very happy with this watch. And, to those who don’t understand how to setup a watch and blame it on the design and Google. Then just try a Samsung and Garmin, you will find problems with those watches as well.

The Google Pixel Watch is exceptional! Its sleek design, vibrant display, and seamless integration with Google services make it a must-have. Fitness tracking is accurate, battery life impressive, and the interface intuitive. Notifications are timely and helpful. It’s a perfect blend of style and functionality. Highly recommended!

Great watch, Upgraded from a Galaxy 4 to this watch to go with my Pixel 7 Pro phone. Charges quickly. Fantastic suite of health sensors for my workouts. Downsides are proprietary watch band connection and lack of Qi charging. Happy customer so far, lots of complements on the look of the watch.

I have tried other "HEALTH" watches before. I was never convinced by them because they did little more than...keep time. This PIX2 is a BIG improvement. Comfortable, stylish, and informative. Sleep patterns, EKG, SPO2, fall detection etc are all included. While it does auto track exercise, it is not the most reliable due to lag. Battery life is MUCH better than the PIX1...which I returned. I charge the 2 for about 30 min before bed...it's good thru the next day, and I do use AOD. I would definitely recommend this to all.
