Google Pixel Watch Hands-On: 13 Things to Know!

[@Dcrainmaker]

Just as a quick update for folks - I did get further confirmation from other teams within Google that the GPS battery life is 12 hours, which is actually rather respectable for a device of this size. Cheers!

[@Syk3]

I'm really excited about this watch since I've been a long-term user of both Android and Fitbit (10+ and 6+ years), but gave up on WearOS about 4 years ago. Here's what I'd be interested in seeing in a review: 1. Real-world battery life and charging. With a battery that maxes out at 24 hours, can I get through a whole day including sleep tracking (assuming no extensive exercise modes)? What's the fastest I can recharge the watch, and can I use my existing qi wireless chargers? 2. Real-world heart rate tracking. I appreciate the emphasis on accuracy from the presentation, but how does it really stack up to other baseline devices? 3. Exercise tracking. I'd love to go on a run without my phone. Does the watch automatically detect when you're exercising and initiate a tracking mode? How accurate is GPS location data when tracking routes? Is there a consistently smooth connection when listening to offline music while exercising (I've been burned by this on older smartwatches)? 4. General software performance and features. Given the older processor (perhaps balanced by the co-processor), how does performance compare to the latest Galaxy Watches? Are there any Pixel phone exclusive features? I have an S22+ so the Galaxy Watch would be my 2nd choice. 5. Durability. The dome screen looks fragile, how easy is it to damage the watch with normal wear and tear? Would you recommend using a case or screen protector?

[@TheHUhelps]

The elephant in the room for me is the stupid subscription price for access to something that's already built into the watch. This will add an extra $80 annually if paid at once or a $10 monthly subscription. Is this the future of smart watches or just a bad business decision? What do you think?

[@Dcrainmaker]

At present, nobody else is following them. Both Apple and Garmin have come out pretty strongly against it.

[@paolaroblesgil]

Hey Ray! Nice to see you there. Looking forward to your full review. Apparently, Fitbit doesn't let you have more than one device in your account (like Garmin does) if the device uses Fitbit Gallery (like all the newer models do). This is a big deterrent for me because I like using a smaller band when I use my Epix 2 for workouts or a regular watch for going out. Do you know if this is something that will change in the future? Right now, if you try to add the Pixel Watch to your Fitbit account it says "Replace" instead of "Add" because I'm a current Fitbit user with an Inspire 3 band activated. I would really appreciate your thoughts. Thanks and keep up the good work!

Hey Ray, two quick questions from your quick hands on. 1. Were you able to get a feel of the watch haptics, and if so what watch would you say they are closest to? 2. With the watch tracking your heart rate every second throughout the day, unlike either Samsung or Apple, is this feature adjustable, i.e can it be changed similar to what Samsung and Apple provide in terms of their heart rate tracking.

I think Samsung also has HR every second thought it can me changed while Apple doesn't have that even as an option.

@@yanni2737 This is what found on Google vs Apple Pixel: Maximum battery life is approximate and is based on testing using pre-production hardware and software. Charging times are approximate. Use of certain features will decrease battery life. Battery life depends on features enabled, usage, environment and many other factors. Actual battery life may be lower. Apple: All-day battery life is based on the following use: 90 time checks, 90 notifications, 45 minutes of app use, and a 60-minute workout with music playback from Apple Watch via Bluetooth, over the course of 18 hours; Apple Watch Series 8 (GPS) usage includes connection to iPhone via Bluetooth during the entire 18-hour test; Apple Watch Series 8 (GPS + Cellular) usage includes a total of 4 hours of LTE connection and 14 hours of connection to iPhone via Bluetooth over the course of 18 hours. you can tell Google listed that all day battery in general information while Apple actually listed the actual usage from their conducted test. On Apple Watch, the easy cut of using 45 minutes of app will help the Watch get up to 24 hours, and based on actual usage from me and my family, we usually get 1.5 days out of it. But then, what kinda test Google use to achieve that 24 hours use? they dont even say it Im not saying that Pixel is not 24 hours watch.

I'm a Garmin watch/Pixel 6 phone user and was really looking forward to this. But my Garmin Venu2s has a similar AMOLED display and I get about a week on a single charge. And the fitness stuff can't be beat. 24 hours of battery life with the Pixel watch isn't enough to move me away from Garmin and into a FitBit ecosystem. Love the look though.

[@thsaintful]

I am in exactly the same situation. Also pixel6 + Venu 2 Plus. The Venu2 is hard to beat. Amoled display, 5-10days of battery life, phone calls on the device, playing music, great GPS accuracy,... The only thing i miss on Venu2 is the training effect and training load which other Garmin watches have, and the fact that the heart rate sensor for me is very inaccurate while cycling (when HR on a wrist band shows 120 and above, the watch will always hang around 60-70)

ive been really waiting for this watch and I am really stuck between a Garmin D2 air X10 and this pixel watch.

@@bruiserbrown9258 I think it all depends on what's important to you. If you want a fitness-oriented watch with smartwatch features, the Garmins can't be beat. But some folks want a true "smartwatch" that operates like a wrist phone . . . that also has some fitness features thrown in. I don't want to wear another phone on my wrist that requires nightly charging so I opt for the Garmins that routinely get 7-10 days on a single charge. But the tech packed into the Apples/Samsungs and now Pixels is very cool. I just don't want another device I have to plug in every night.. For me, the Garmin Venu does everything I need. And I don't have to haul a charger around.

[@Tekz12]

I have a Pixel 4a 5G and a Garmin Venu 2. As much as I think it'd be cool to have a bit more smart feature integration I don't care for the look of the watch the shorter battery life or the possible idea that some fitness features are going to be paywalled.

He had the Fitbit sense in the upper category for accuracy in smart watches and I threw mine away because it was seriously inaccurate for the 2 years I used it. Meanwhile he put Garmin in one of the lowest tiers for accuracy and mine has been far more accurate than the sense ever was. Only time it would act right was if I engaged running and then set the GPS, otherwise it was a shot in the dark.

That’s a false equivalency. Mah is no more a guarantee of battery as ram is for someone like apple with battery life and efficiency. OS efficiency IN CONJUNCTION WITH battery determines actual real world usage, and in this case WearOS is notoriously the worst at battery efficiency.

can all these electronic devices just straight out just say how much actual storage is available. I hate it when they say 32G storage, when in actuality you only have access to half of that because the device uses the other half.

Never liked the crown on smart watches. Wished it had face rotation like Samsung frontier watch

[@gwine9087]

That's a pretty small display. I'll stick with my Galaxy 4, at least, for now.

[@bruiserbrown9258]

its literally 1 mm smaller than the galaxy 4

@@bruiserbrown9258 Bro, its about the usable display size. Those bezels actually cut off some of the graphics ... Check the video

@@bruiserbrown9258 it's more about the bezels than the size

If I ever have the money to waste on a smartwatch I'm going to be sure to download the power rangers communicator sound effect lol. It's Morphin time!!

i don't think i could get over those Bezels

[@BigMeanyVids]

Galaxy Watch is hard to beat. This one has a bit of funky look to it but sure it will appeal to some. I like my Galaxy Watch 4 classic. Battery lasts probably 2-3 days, fast, works like you wanted a wear os watch to work way back when. That said, glad Google is coming out with a pixel watch and continuing to support the ecosystem.

[@mikebird5148]

Yea I absolutely love my Galaxy watch 4, I have a awesome case on it that is extremely durable and actually made the watch look better lol, (SUPCASE for Galaxy watch 4)

[@marcinostrowski2529]

I don’t believe your watch lasts 2-3 days. I had a 4 classic also and it lasted 1.5day max.

[@thsaintful]

2-3 days?? my wife has that one and without always on display even barely reaches 1.5 days....

[@mikebird5148]

I get a day & 1/2, love the watch though

[@BigMeanyVids]

@@marcinostrowski2529 Believe what you want but it’s complete dependent on the face you are using as well as what setting you have. Totally can get 2 days with the right settings. Does not matter though since as long as you can get 24 I don’t are about anything more myself.

[@eshulade6292]

So what's the deal is it a fit bit or a Google watch ⌚️ 🤔

[@blkwarriorspirit5528]

Lol I think Google pixel jumping into the smartwatch market is a wildcard to apple smartwatch lol. I'm good with my modest Garmin smartwatch collection but Google pixel smartwatch does have a better casual techie smartwatch style then apple smartwatch imo lol. Anyways great video my friend ✌🏿

[@Blackdawn80]

40mm? So it's a women's watch....I hope Google see's the value in offering two sizes as 40 looks rather small in the wrist of most men. A 42 or even 44mm would be ideal.

[@jeremylehner]

So they remove third party apps on the fitbits. Release the pixel with bad battery life which only talks to android devices. The sense 2 and Versa 4 talk to Android and IOS and have the same heart rate sensor. Yes you can’t message with Fitbit’s but if you want a smartwatch with phone features it’s either Samsung or Apple they have more options and way better battery life depending on the model you select.

[@Inpreesme]

Thank you

[@Biscoitinhocomleite]

This design actually remember me of the Amazfit Pace

[@1994jga]

Just the battery life makes me want to get a fitbit sense or versa

[@Nawk32]

If you're going to spend the money, get a Garmin. -from a previous sense owner

[@benhatfield6014]

does it have a water lock feature

[@jonathanhaehnel5421]

So still no independent watch 😞
