Pixel Watch 2 60 Day Review

I go over the features most valuable to me with this Pixel Watch and tell you my thoughts on the device and whether or not it is worth buying if you are shopping for a wearable os

[@zzzleep]

The sleep tracking is probably my favorite feature. Like you, knowing how much I really slept affects how I feel even though it may be mental. Now I actively try to get 8 hours of actual sleep time.

[@TayWTech]

Same here, I don't always get 8 hours of sleep but I'm more aware of how often I'm not getting enough sleep, which helps me correct some bad habits!

Solid review! Sucks this watch doesnt get enough attention in comparison to its competition. I hope they increase the screen size while keeping the sane weight and this watch will be a keeper.

[@TayWTech]

A lot of people still think of this phone as having a poor battery but when I look at the specs for the Apple series 9 and SE, it's right in line with the competition. I think you were right though, if they make a bigger screen and give us some sort of "pro" version then this will get more attention.

Not personally a watch person. I hope Google eventually makes a smart ring. That is something I would buy.

[@TayWTech]

A smart ring honestly sounds super useful, it feels weird though. It seems like the trend recently was to get silicone rings instead of metal. I wonder if there are potential health hazards with a smart ring or if I'm just being silly. I would definitely want to buy a smart ring and check it out though!

[@METAx55]

They could make them with metal that isn't as conductive if people are worried about being shocked. As for your finger getting cut off like Jimmy Fallon, that's something that can still happen, but probably nothing to worry about. They'll probably make a luxury 24k gold one, especially Apple is likely to do that. Otherwise, should be lightweight metal that isn't soft or conductive. Titanium, magnesium?

[@TayWTech]

I was thinking about Fallon too. It would need to be soft but I wonder how it could handle scratches, specifically if you're weight lifting with it on.

Thanks for the review. I have a Pixel 6 phone, the wireless chargers, the Pixel Buds Pro. But I went with the new Galaxy Fit 3 for my first smart watch. There were some things I was willing to leave off for $65. And the watch is excellent but now I kind of want some more features. One of them being NFC so I can use Google Wallet. But I have a question. I've heard that you have to pay for some of the more advanced health tracking features. And I actually do like to see my sleep info. I like to know what cycles I was in and such. Is that a feature you have to pay extra for? Because honestly that really would not be great.

[@TayWTech]

You do NOT have to pay extra to know when you are awake, in light sleep, deep sleep or in your REM cycle. That is a free feature and you can use the Fitbit app to look at your history

[@philipjanes]

Good to know, thank you!
