So the first pixel watch was bad, but you can't skip the first Gen, you just kind of have to give it your best shot and then what you learn you put into the second gen and that's when we really judge you. And so even though it looks almost exactly the same, my hot take is that the Pixel Watch 2 is actually good now. So they gave it an updated quad core processor, which, yeah, makes it a bit zippier around the user interface, but more importantly, it's more efficient and substantially improves battery life. So I'm now getting over 24 hours per charge with the Oon display on by default.

It also charges much faster and on the back you've gone from one to five heart rate sensors, so that's for much better heart rate detection during heavy activity. So I did a workout with both the Apple watch Ultra and the Pixel Watch 2 on at the same time. and on the pixel watch, you literally get a new heart rate reading every second, which is super helpful for stuff like hit workouts when you need to wait till your heart rate drops to a certain number before starting the next thing, it's so much better. The only real downside being that it uses a different charger from last year, so it's incompatible with that, but it's got the same Sleek design and the same price.

Not bad anymore.

    Biggest thing I hate on Pixel Watch 2 is that I can charge it on my phone…if the battery would last for 7 days I would be willing to pay extra 200 for accurate measurements.

    I'll skip the android and take the Apple. I had Samsung for 12 years and I just couldn't take it anymore.

    I like the real time heart rate. Thats probably why it gas 5 sensors.

    Can you PLEASE do a full review on pixel watch 2?

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Roy Taylor says:

    Nah, still ain't getting it. Pixel Watch 1 was so awful I'm just done buying Google hardware for the foreseeable future. Not only did the Watch 1 fail to do ANY of the things it advertised, but the support was completely useless in fixing it or getting a refund.

    Still don't why you would want a watch when you have your phone… But ok

    I like this short format. Products worthy enough for a review but not for a long one and still interesting to see.
