Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've been using a Samsung smartwatch for a few years and decided it was time for a change. Since I am a Google Pixel user, I decided to go with the Pixel Watch 2. The watch was easy to set up nothing minutes I was up and running. The UI is fast and integrates with my Pixel phone. The battery life is better than I expected, with always on display off I am able to get about two days (HR, stress, sleep, gps on). Even when it does need to charge it is very quick. My only cons for the watch is the smaller size and proprietary band connection. The Google branded bands are pricy and the 3rd party options may not fit quite right. Overall I am happy with my purchase.

This is my first smartwatch, and it was included with my Pixel 8 Pro. It's solid all around, but I really don't have much to compare it to. At $350 retail it's quite expensive, but I already can't imagine going back to a normal watch. The battery lasts all day every day, wearing it from when I go to bed to when I get home from work. The display is crisp, and the storage is more than adequate. Not much else to ask for. If you work in a hands on industry like I do, I'd highly recommend a protective cover or case. The glass is edge to edge, and rounded, so it would be easy to crack, and hard to replace.

The watch gets the job done while being quite sleek too. Seamless connection to my pixel 8 pro. The battery is simply alright but I believe later revisions fix this.

Amazing. Way better then the pixel 1. Last almost one day in a single vharge. Usually charges super fast. When using the fitbit premium app, data usually is consistent. BUT the watch does not last more than 24 hrs with regular use (not including calls or playing music)

I recently received the Google Pixel Watch 2 as a free gift when I purchased the Pixel 8 Pro during a promotional offer, and it has quickly become an integral part of my daily life. Here's my experience with this smartwatch: Battery Life: The battery life on the Pixel Watch 2 is impressive. It easily lasts a full day, even with heavy usage. I appreciate not having to constantly worry about recharging it throughout the day. Design: The design is sleek and minimal, which complements the aesthetics of my Pixel 8 Pro. However, one aspect that I find somewhat inconvenient is the pin connector for charging. It takes a bit of getting used to, and I would have preferred a more user-friendly charging method. Screen Protector: One minor drawback is the difficulty in finding a suitable screen protector. While the watch's display seems to be robust, an added layer of protection is always a good idea, and I wish it was easier to find screen protectors designed specifically for this model. Fitness Tracking: The fitness tracking capabilities of the Pixel Watch 2 are a standout feature. It accurately records my steps and helps me stay on top of my fitness goals. The watch seamlessly integrates with my Google Fit app, providing a comprehensive overview of my daily activity. Overall Impression: Despite the pin connector and the screen protector issue, the Google Pixel Watch 2 has been an excellent addition to my tech collection. It's a reliable companion that keeps me connected and on track throughout the day. The seamless integration with my Pixel 8 Pro and the fitness tracking features make it a valuable and functional accessory. I look forward to exploring more of its capabilities and seeing how it continues to enhance my daily routine.

I had the Pixel watch 1 and I upgraded to Pixel watch 2 with Pixel 8 pro bundle. And this is the best upgrade I have made so far in wearables. Major changes being, battery life, it easily runs for the day without using it for sports or other activities. Other than the battery, it's much faster. Call quality is significantly improved, however, still has a room for improvement but it solves the purpose. Overall it is worth the spend.

This is an overall improvement over its predecessor. It does charge faster as Google claims. If you charge it for 20 to 30 minutes you're going to have a good enough battery for a good part of the day. The battery life is also improved a bit. It would be great if we can get two full days of charge. The looks are the same as the first but that's not a bad thing as it's one of the better looking smartwatchs available.

I've had this watch since October 2023. As someone who walks/hikes and goes to the gym a fair amount, but always has a charger nearby (usually at the end of the day), this is a pretty good smartwatch. The activity tracking is solid, and the GPS is fairly accurate. if you have a Google Pixel phone, the integration is very good. Durability-wise, I've hit many things with this watch on accident (e.g., hit a wall) and the watch only has a few scratches here and there. It's still very usable though. That said, I'm taking two stars off because of the battery. The battery life is probably on par with an Apple Watch, so that's to be expected. That said, the inconsistent battery life and charging is not. - I find that the battery life can be inconsistent; for example, sometimes I'll fully charge the watch before bed and, once I wake up, notice that the battery drained significantly overnight (think 70% overnight). Sometimes, this is because the watch had a software update and it was stuck trying to download something. Other times, it could be because the watch was trying to download an offline map, but offline maps takes forever to download on the watch to start with, so it ends up draining a ton of battery in the process. And, sometimes, I just don't know why it wants to drain more than usual. - Something that's even more annoying is the charging mechanism. The charger is a magnetic charger, so you place the side of the watch with the heart rate sensor onto the charger. That said, more often than not, the charger either refuses to charge, or charges very slowly. I end up spending more time than I should be trying different ports and charging bricks before the watch would charge. What's even more annoying is, sometimes, after I *do* get the watch to charge, the watch will sometimes just stop charging (imagine putting your watch on the charger for a few hours before bed, and then when you go to take the watch off the charger so you can sleep, it's only at 55%...). Despite my attempts to clean the watch and the charger, it still doesn't charge reliably. This is probably an issue with the charging cable, but honestly I feel like this is one of those things that shouldn't be an issue. The charger should just work. I shouldn't have to buy an extra *charging cable* just to charge this watch. Overall, solid watch when it wants to work, and a pain to charge as of the past 12 months. For that reason, I'm not going to recommend this watch. Further, what I've learned is that I will probably not buy watches with magnetic chargers.

Amazing watch. Battery life is good even with always on display. The charging is also super quick. The watch looks sleek and sexy. It comes with two different size bands so it will most likely fit your wrist. Only thing that I dislike about the watch is the notification feature. You aren't able to only have it on vibrate for notifications. The only option is to have no notifications.

This is the first smart watch I've owned and it's definitely great! It's slick and has many great customisation options. I'm a me to. Control Spotify, add notes and it's really hard when I can't reach my phone or what to be subtle. So far haven't had any issues except it was a hassle to add my own picture as background but once I did it was great!

I like the circular looks however that leaves the UI limited in terms of looking at text compared to my apple watch, but that is expected. The biggest issue for me is they got ride of stainless steel. This phone performs as expected and I actually think its sleep tracking and HR monitoring are better than iphone

I have had the Pixel Watch 2 for a few weeks now and I'm really enjoying it. This is my first smartwatch, but since I've been a Pixel user for several years now, I was excited to have a watch that was very compatible. I love the Fitbit parts of the watch - I got the watch mostly to better track my steps, calories, heart rate, and sleep, and have been learning valuable things so far!

This is a replacement purchase for my Fitbit Sense. The Sense just stopped working and I needed to replace it with another Fitbit compatible watch. I purchased the Google Pixel 2 after reading all of the reviews. Pros: Very comfortable and the size, like the Fitbit Sense, is not overly intrusive. Touch screen is responsive and fast. Volume and speakerphone works well. Sound is clear (for a watch). Fitbit link works well (but you now must have the premium subscription to use the Sense data). Integration with Pixel 8 phone works well. Notifications work. Different faces are fun. I can have a professional face and a sports/hiking face. Changing it is a breeze. Heart monitoring and sleep tracking work well. It isn't as comfortable as the Sense to sleep with though. Cons: Battery life. Compared to Sense, its a total shock. Even with significant battery saving options, barely 22 hours. Regular use at under 18 hours. Notifications are intrusive. Hard to limit notifications.

I had a Versa Lite 2 that worked well for a couple of years. I finally broke the last replacement band, and they did not have any more that I could find. The Google Pixel 2 is definitely an upgrade from the Versa. It does all I need it to do and somethings that I am not sure I need it too. Either way. It looks and fits nicely. I had my trial run with it out in the desert of Palm Springs for a week this month. Although, I changed wrist daily to not get a sunline on. it seemed light and stayed cool in the heat. I walked a tremendous amount of miles for an old fat man in 100 plus temperatures. The watch looks good and performs well. I like that I can answer the phone without digging mine out. According to my wife I sound clearer over the watch than when I have the phone on speaker. So, I guess that is an improvement too. It did seem that the battery only last about a day and a half or so. Had to keep an eye on that. There were some reviews that it charged slowly but I did not notice that. However, I did usually charge overnight.

After a couple weeks of wearing it, it has absolutely changed my day-to-day life as I now know exactly how much sleep I'm getting, how absolutely stressed I've been and when to take a breather, being able to see if messages are important enough to pull out my phone or not, and also having a silent alarm that vibrates your wrist to wake you up so I don't wake up my partner. There's a ton more stuff and also a ton of customizability since you can download apps like Facer off the play store and get a ton of other watch faces (I currently have a Pip-Boy watch face that shows a ton of cool stuff like my "stats" and "map"). Also people saying the screen is quite small - it is super easy to read and I personally wouldn't want it any bigger than this. The battery life is great, I charge it once a day for about half an hour (I have it charging while I shower so I can track my sleep later on), never dealt with it getting low while I'm out and about. There's also stuff like a bright flashlight, and being able to open the camera app and control your camera on your Google Pixel remotely from the watch. Super cool!!

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!

Nice overall smart watch but a bit small looking on average size wrist. Does most all smart watch tracking well. Sleep, steps, stairs and health tracking are very good. There is a problem with GPS tracking everyone should know. When you use GPS to track an activity it sometimes malfunctions and ends activity early. Also GPS does not always turn off after activity and will drain battery quickly while running in the background. Watch requires a reset to turn off GPS. Watch also lacks the ability to set a sleep bed time to auto shut down. You have to manually do this every night?? Battery will last better than 24 hours if you don't have GPS running in backround.

It is the best smart watch that pixel can offer... This comes with many features that a smart watch have and Fitbit is the best this I can suggest. This also comes with the inbuilt whatsapp application to access to send direct messages.

The materials feel very premium and has lots of features. I wish the glass was more scratch resistant and the battery life was a little better though. It charges extremely quickly though so I don't mind it. This is my first smartwatch so I wasn't sure if it would be a good experience but it's been great so far.

though This is my first smart watch and I love it. It does everything I wanted (sleep monitoring, calendar access, specific alerts, etc.). It even does stuff I didn't know I needed. The customization options are decent. I got an open box version of the previous model to save money. Unfortunately I ended up not saving any money at all, as this one specific watch was probably returned because of its battery issues. The first week, the battery seemed really good. Sometimes I could go 30+ hours without having to charge, and it does charge quickly. Unfortunately it drastically tapered off into an inconsistent but increasingly bad battery life. Sometimes it holds a charge 8-10 hours, sometimes it would be dead after 3 hours. It feels weird to defend a billion dollar corporation but this actually isn't a result of negligence or scamming on Best Buy's part. The watch and its components looked brand new and it probably worked good enough when they tested it. I tried every possible troubleshooting technique I could find but nothing fixed it. Serious battery issues were reported a year ago but updates apparently fixed that. And since it didn't manifest and get really bad until 2ish weeks in, I didn't think I could exchange it. It was well after the 15 day window after all. That was what I had to do though, since Google was no help. I took it to the Princeton, NJ Best Buy. I expected an interrogation and a huge hassle repeating the same troubleshooting I'd tried over and over again. Thankfully the sales associate didn't wasn't required to do any of that. I had the Best Buy Plus membership thing because that extends the return period to 60 days. I hated to drop even more money on a luxury I only bought because of the price discount but I ended up exchanging it for a new one. Here's hoping.
