There's no denying Google has made improvements with the Pixel Watch 2. The fitness and health tracking, as well as the fluid, simple interface, is superb. The design is great, too, but there's definitely a sense that battery life still needs improving, and it'd be wonderful to have a larger model.

Fitbit is the big selling point here, it's fantastic, Beautiful design and build, Fluid, responsive performance, Lightweight and comfortable to wear (even at night), Water and dust resistant to high levels

No iPhone support, Needs a bigger screen, Battery life isn't competitive

Google has fixed two big things for version two of its smartwatch: a faster chip and longer battery life. It is small, light, comfortable to wear, looks good and is slick in operation.

Pros: snappy, smooth design, 50-metre water resistance, Fitbit, Play Store with growing selection of apps, all Google apps, good integration with Google ecosystem, good watch faces, works with most Android phones.

Cons: not repairable, expensive, small size only with small screen, Fitbit still limited for workout tracking.

The Google Pixel Watch 2 now lasts longer and its accuracy has improved, but it’s still no Apple Watch-beater

Improved battery life, Attractive, lightweight design, Good health and activity tracking

Battery life still short, Basic sports tracking, Only works with Android phones

Google Pixel Watch 2: Starting at $349.99 The Google Watch 2 builds on the success of the original with better performance, battery life, and fitness tracking, but its starting price is still relatively high.

Bright, sharp display, A solid day of battery life, Extremely comfortable on the wrist, Stylish design

Google’s addressed a lot of what annoyed me about the first Pixel Watch, but repairability and continued Fitbit integration are still question marks.

Battery actually lasts all-day, Much faster charging, More cohesive Fitbit integration, Better health and stress tracking, Safety Check is a great emergency feature, Pixel Watch 2 now eligible for Preferred Care, Listen, almost everything is better

Still comes in only one size, Recycled aluminum isn’t better than stainless steel, Safety Signal requires LTE model and Fitbit Premium, We wrecked another Pixel Watch screen this year without trying

The Pixel Watch 2 catches up to Fitbit's smartwatches and to other devices in key ways, making it a solid choice.

The Pixel Watch 2 packs the latest Google Wear OS updates and a few other improvements....

Runs a snappy Wear OS 4, Added and upgraded advanced health sensors, New training features and automatic workout detection, Fast charging alleviates battery woes, Safety Check and other safety features

Only available in one size, Some health features feel underbaked, Fitbit app redesign oversimplifies, Flaky GPS recording, Setup isn't seamless

The Google Pixel Watch 2 is perfect for Pixel phone users, and pretty good for everyone else.

Better heart rate tracking accuracy, Auto workout tracking, 24-hour battery life with the always-on display enabled, Wear OS 4 brings a lot to the table, The battery charges up quickly, Super stylish, Setup was dead simple

The display could be bigger, The aluminum wasn't a good trade-off for lighter weight

The original Pixel Watch finally showed up in 2022 after years of rumors and speculation about a potential launch. When we did get one on the wrist and learned all of its specs and features, I think it was pretty obvious that we were getting a first-generation type of product, one with flaws and...

For many years, the WearOS landscape of options wasn’t great. In the beginning it was bulky hardware, then it was the apps that lacked competitiveness (or were left to die), and then it became the watches burned incredible amounts of battery. But things have finally started turning a corner.
