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.

I had a Fitbit versa for years and loved it. It finally bit the dust and I was looking for an upgrade. I loved the Fitbit interface, and I liked that it supported Pandora...but when I upgraded to YouTube Music, I was bummed my old watch didn't support that app. The Pixel Watch has my attention for a while, and I am thoroughly satisfied with this purchase! I've had the watch for a few weeks now and am so glad I bought it. It uses the FitBit interface, so it integrated seamlessly with my Fitbit app and I didn't skip a beat between the old watch and this one. It stores music from YouTube Music (and some other music apps, if you prefer). I can download maps (Google maps!) if I'm running in a new area/taking a new route. The running/exercise tracking works really well, and my favorite part is that I can run without my phone! I just select my playlist, pop in my earbuds (they connect via Bluetooth to the watch) and start my run. The watch will download music over wifi, so you don't need any kind of data plan to use this feature.
Some people complain about the battery life. I don't use the "Smart Watch" features...like emailing, texting, calls, etc. because I don't need to be MORE connected than I already am. Many notifications are turned off or disabled, and my watch battery lasts typically about a day - whether I run or just wear it. A lot of people complain about this, but I just take my watch off and charge it while I shower. It charges pretty quickly and I don't mind this daily habit! If this is a deal breaker, don't get the watch. I am using bare-bones features and get a day's use out of it. My old Fitbit could go a couple weeks without a charge. But I'm thrilled with the rest of the watch so it's worth the shorter battery life for me!

I really like the watch so far. I have used various Fitbit devices, latest being the Sense. I've also recently used Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 and Apple Watch 7 and SE.
It's comparable to most of them. The screen is vibrant like a phone looks, unlike any Fitbit I've ever owned.
I'd suggest this watch if tracking is the most important reason for a watch. Because it's better than all the others in my opinion. Plus these have a more continuous HR monitor.
My top features I use on a watch are tracking, the alarm which allows me to use vibrate and no sound so I don't think wake my husband, find my phone - bc I'm a scatterbrained mom and set it down and forget where I put it all day long, of course the time, and I like sleep tracking.
Having messages and phone calls is also convenient - especially when I don't have my phone on me so I won't miss anything.
Worst part about the watch is bezels. I big black border between screen and edge. The screens are mostly black so you can't see it but I had to make the text largest there is bc I have bad eyes and I just feel like they wasted a lot of space not using the screen to the edges and it makes it feel a little smaller than it is.

I have loved this watch. The batter lasts for 2 days for me. I don't wear mine at night though. It's great for calls, texts and even my smart home stuff. It does everything I need a watch to do. I also love that I have a pin so my kids can't mess with it. I even bought a case to keep my screen protected.

Google smartwatch impresses with its useful modes like sleeping time mode and movie theater. Also, it has seamless app integration, like WhatsApp, enhancing everyday connectivity. The battery reliably lasts almost a full day on energy-saving mode, a significant plus for active users.
While it excels in waterproofing, allowing me to swim with confidence, the only drawback I've noticed is the lack of heart rate monitoring during swim tracking. Despite this, the device's proactive exercise recognition and impact on my health awareness have been remarkable.
In summary, Google Pixel Watch is an excellent tool that has made me more conscious of my fitness, with the Fitbit app playing a crucial role in monitoring my activities. It's a thumbs-up from me!

So I came from the Pixel Watch. The only reason I upgraded is because the the Pixel Watch 2 was free with the Pixel 8 Pro. That said the watch usually works as expected when making purchases, tracking sports and sleep and using Google Assistant. The only hang up I've had with it is sometimes GPay doesn't always work the first time you pull it up and sometimes it doesn't charge the card you intended on using. The only feature I really miss from the Pixel Watch is the hand watching timer for 30 seconds. I wish it had better battery life as it only lasts a day and I use it for sleep tracking.
Forever a pixel watch lover.. especially the two!!

This watch is way better than I thought when I went in to purchase it... It's battery life is way stronger than the original pixel watch and its functions are way more accurate than any other smart watch I have had over the past decade. It's sad I'll have to switch to the Apple watch when I go back to then iphone side of the world due to work reasons but I'll forever remember how good this pixel watch was for me. And I hope the third version of the watch is just as good as this one.

I love this watch. The move from Fitbit to Pixel watch was smooth and carried all of the features I appreciated from my previous fitness tracker plus all of the features I'd been hoping for in a smartwatch. I really like the full color display and the fact that you can preview photos on the watch. This is a great addition to my pixel phone as they connected seamlessly. One star off for battery life but I suppose that's to be expected given its constant connectivity.

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!

They got the battery issues straightened out and the sensor arrays do a perfect job of monitoring health metrics! I say near perfect because of the bezel. Although you almost never notice it (even in bright light), it would be nice if it was thinner.

Well they said this watch is pixel mixed with Fitbit and they were correct. The response time when access apps after you touch the watch is great. The weight of the watch on your wrist makes it feel like nothing is there. Voice calls are decent on the watch and the fitbit tracking keeps up with a lot of info if that's what you are into. I don't like the fact that Google didn't make two different sizes, maybe something a little larger than this one. I also would like to see wireless charging on the watch. The battery is okay and will last all day but could be way better like having to charge it every two days instead.
