  • The Pixel Watch 2 is Google’s second generation WearOS smartwatch for 2023. It still has the iconic and comfy smooth pebble design, this time in aluminum. It’s available with optional 4G LTE, has advanced fitness and health tracking using FitBit and sports a new CPU and longer battery life compared to the first gen watch.

    Agreed on the paywall...Safety features should not be behind Fitbit premium, in fact none of it should when no other watch maker does this...

      @@roethlethank god others don’t do this. I mean except apple, who advertised it’s watch BIG as divewatch, only to put it behind a paywall subscription. Oh, and if you are a developer and want to get access to the new apis? Ca-ching! Oh, and Ticwatch obviously, where you get the sleep tracking if you pay a subscription. Oh, and Huawei with their music feature, which only can be used with an subscription. Doesn’t misunderstand me, it’s a shitty thing to do. But google isn’t the first to do so, by a long shot. Apple does it, and if they get trough others follow. It’s the same thing with the removed chargers when you buy a new phon3 today…

Got it on sale £200 im loving it battery life great for me as i don't use the fitness i use it for WhatsApp texting emails phone calls google pay and sleep tracking battery lasts me nearly 2 days i use tap to wake also just got the new update OS 4 .Im still enjoying my GW4 as well for different reasons. GREAT REVIEW AS ALWAYS ❤

    @darkspectre1 7 місяців тому +1

    Great review, thank you! So something that wasn't mentioned, probably because it's a small thing, but I'm assuming they have not updated the functionality that the Pixel Watch 2 does not register a Google Maps navigation session when initiated through Android Auto. If you start it from the watch itself or the phone itself it will give directions prompts on the watch, but for some reason not when initiated through Android Auto (even though that's technically being initiated from the phone as well). Hopefully they update that soon, likely a server side thing.

      The size makes it more comfortable and even you don't notice you are wearing it even when sleeping.
      Having said that, they should offer a bigger version next year when PW3 releases.

    The issue i hate with Pixel watch isn't the subscription. It's how crappy Wear OS really is. They have revamped it but my favorite watch TicWatch Pro 3 didn't get Wear OS 3.0 until 2 years later because it was very buggy and Google left Mobvoi out to dry. Honestly the battery life is poor and I am not going to purchase them until they issue these two factors.

      So I've gone through the process, I can confirm it works but it is super confusing. All you have to do is select the monthly payment prompt (as if you are not getting the free 6 months) and after you progress to the next screen you will see that the payments don't start for 183 days. So it does work for everyone but I think it's super counter intuitive and confusing.
