Pixel Watch 3 - Why I'm Excited About Google’s Plans!

[@needtorelax3773]

This is the type of reviews we want - functional accuracy is so important - sift through the gimmicks - Love this guys content - he should be invited to all prelaunch events

[@Luigi_Vaz]

My excitement about Pixel Watch 3 ends right where their subscription plan starts...

[@robertfatoulatchi9482]

Indeed...

[@tomas12912]

And also bad battery life....

[@Luigi_Vaz]

Given that Pixel subscription and poor battery life, the Samsung Galaxy watch with a 'Pancho Villa's Army' HR sensor, Huawei Watches' dubious Android integration and half the apps not working properly, and Apple Watches simply out of my reach... I couldn't be happier with my Huawei Band 8; unbeatable price quality ratio.

[@RandoTechInfo]

You actually don't need to subscribe. Non-premium Fitbit is still pretty good imo.

[@Luigi_Vaz]

@@RandoTechInfo I agree, but still not 100% of what you paid for.

[@williamstevenson2649]

Looking forward to your full testing!

[@qwertyCandy]

I've had Pixel Watch 2 for maybe a year and absolutely love it.

[@JohnCena-ry2jl]

Waiting for your test of pixel 3 before i cart it out!! Looking forward to the video

[@EvertonAbreuCorrea]

Me too!

[@micaelonovio1220]

Yes please 🙏🙏🙏

[@Berniz123]

Always love these videos

[@Pannch]

We really need a video for the best devices (I'm more interested in bands than watches, since I dont like wearing these so the smaller the better) that DON'T require a subscription to show detailed health info or use the sports functions...

[@MondSemmel]

Thanks for the video! Minor feedback: When you explain graphs (like at 0:55), you're moving your mouse cursor around to point at stuff. However, the default mouse cursor is really small and thus hard to see in presentations and videos. To improve this, you could make the mouse cursor much bigger in your Windows settings, and/or install an app which helps with this. (Suggested search terms: highlight mouse pointer; mouse laser pointer; better mouse presentation.)

[@nailpink678]

Hello! 👋 Do you plan to review Withings' Scanwatch 2?

[@halconfalcon1993]

@thequantifiedscientist please and thank you!

[@jfbaro2]

Hey there! I know I've mentioned this before, but I'll keep nudging until it sticks 😄. Could you do a video on the future of health wearables? Specifically, what kind of bio-sensors we might see in the next five years? I'm thinking along the lines of sensors that could measure things like calories in and out, continuous blood pressure, and other game-changing metrics that could help improve health worldwide. Would love to hear your thoughts!

[@Benni1214]

LOOKING FORWARD SO MUCH FOR THE TEST VIDEO! 🙂

[@haaibaai]

Great watch, something to look forward to. I have the pixel watch 2, and I really like it.

[@melrauch5591]

Awesome review! Thanks for the great data and presentation!

[@joemoya9743]

Finally, they are trying to catch up with Garmin's fitness/training benchmarks as it relates to recovery/sleep with better sleep accuracy. Now, if they could match it's battery life/solar versions and broad application to every kind of activity imaginable.

[@LiveType]

All I want is a 4+ day battery life. Still rocking my fitbit sense.

[@Catalanskrr]

You can’t have that if you want all the features out there at the same time.

[@pontifexinstitute]

​@Catalanskrr Yes you can. A lot of choices...

[@Catalanskrr]

@@pontifexinstitute no you can’t. There is no watch who can do everything like the Apple Watches, galaxy watches or pixel watches with more that 2-3 days battery life with all tracking turned on and always on displays.

[@Heknows690]

Literally no smart watch can do that with all those features its impossible as of now​@@pontifexinstitute

[@LiveType]

@@Catalanskrr I'm ok with turning stuff off. I just need notifications (I think around 300/day) and health/fitness tracking to work for 100 hours. Everything else is a sort of a nice to have. Fitbit sense does what I describe almost perfectly with battery to spare. On my second one in ~4.5 years of usage. The original pixel watch had at best 1 day and a like an hour or two of battery. Pixel watch 2 could get just about 2.5 days (good improvement but not quite enough). I heard the pixel watch 3 had battery improvements, but I didn't hear "double the battery life" so I guess I'll keep waiting. One day it'll get there. Maybe pixel watch 4 as it should be getting close. Didn't really like the galaxy watch ultra and that had sufficient battery life. I want that but for a pixel watch. If it costs $500+ that's fine.

[@zmon2002]

easy to understand and great review!

[@tornaxo7274]

I'm eagerly waiting for your review since this will be a big point if I'll switch to google or samsung.

[@Beatdoza]

Looking forward to the complete Pixel Watch 3 review!!

[@serhii.irkhin]

Sorry if that question was already asked before, but don't you think about sharing your result graphs as some kind of webpage? I guess it will be so interesting to explore all this data for all device enthusiasts. But of course i keep in mind that you did a ton of work.

[@dalv1994]

Let’s go for the Fenix 8 review! 🔝🔥

[@Manuel-rl6um]

Hopefully, the Pixel Watch 2 will get the heart rate improvements and some of the new software features at a later date.

[@smokingcat3267]

Is it possible for you to test the watches in swimming too? I have trouble finding watches that are accurate with swimming :(

[@Luigi_Vaz]

10 years ago Garmin had a specific watch for swimming. It cost 300 USD if I remember well.

[@Luigi_Vaz]

Check Garmin Swim 2

[@triparadox.c]

I don't think so. His Polar HRM needs to communicate with a PC (external device). BT connection drops when it's submerged in water.

[@zohandvir9606]

Ultrahuman Ring PLEASE!😢

[@Expdh100]

Please!

[@KirkWinterrowd]

Looking forward to your tests. I already went ahead and ordered a pixel watch 3 today and traded in my pixel watch 2.

[@faarao44]

Bold man

[@Ucsongi97]

How much did you get for the trade-in? Yesterday I've checked how much they'll give for a Pixel 8 Pro trade-in on Amazon towards buying a new 9 series model and it's like 30% less than the starting prices of perfect condition second-hand Pixel 8 Pros with ~1+ year warranty online. Which doesn't seem to be worth it, at least to me lol.

[@KirkWinterrowd]

@@Ucsongi97 Google offered me $699 for my P8 Pro and $220 for my PW2

[@KirkWinterrowd]

@@faarao44 Why is that?

[@faarao44]

@@KirkWinterrowd there is no tests for HR or sleep accuracy yet.

[@Nicolaf95]

Hey Rob, thanks for all the great videos! Do you (or could you if it's not the case) publish the tables of scores for each device/activity somewhere? I'd love to be able to see the actual values and play around to find the best device for my budget and specific needs. Thanks!

[@miroeight]

completely off topic, but would you consider releasing some kind of tutorial on how to extract and analyze data from watches, straps, etc.?

[@ohmythirdeye]

Waiting for your testing man!

[@thndrgodthor]

Thanks for these videos Rob! I've been starting to swim and just ordered the Pixel 9 Pro. I'd like to get a smart watch (or any wearable) could you recommend what might be best for me as I SWIM as my main activity. It's been hard to find a general suggestion which can record the activity the best. I'm not so interested in recommended workouts, but instead just accurate data about the swimming I just had done. A few different strokes, and hopefully variable heaartrates during different intensities. Happy to have found your channel! Subscribed already when watching the first video I found of yours 👍🏻

[@lennakilampropoulou8165]

You do an amazing job reviewing all these watches!! Thank you . Could you review redmi Watch 4 pls ?

[@rianschoeman3033]

Can't wait for your scientific testing. I am very excited about this device!

[@yannicr2999]

It would be really good if you could test HRV in the future. I know it's complicated because of the calculation, but maybe there is a good test protocol for it.

[@openmindedbloke]

Great review from you as always. I bought a Withings before I saw your review and it's been gathering dust. Looking at this with interest.

[@w2012z]

This is great publicity for Google! The watch isn't even out and already you have been paid for pumping interest for the watch!

[@captainlcm]

Can't wait for your in depth test

[@swimmerken1]

thanks for the detailed review... please do a full review on the PIxel 3 once you get one and have time. Thanks in advance!

[@Phamine]

When it comes to resistance training, I've been using HRV as a guestimation to see if I need to take a deload week. I wish they made something similar to cardio load for those who resistance train.

[@moore5355]

A ringconn gen 2 review please!

[@realms4219]

Is the sleep tracking performance reliant on the sensors or the software interpreting it? What if you don't used xiaomis sleep tracking but used a different app?

[@defiance1]

What size wrist do you have? Please respond I have 6inch but I think 45 might be a bit big?

[@Nicole-z8g]

PLEASE CONSIDER TESTING THE RINGCONN GEN 2 (I'm really interested in knowing if the sleep, heart, steps and apnea is accurate)

[@ShaferHart]

Wait, so if it's the same sensor can we expect the Watch 2 to get these algorithmic improvements as well?

[@Melchezidek]

That a great looking watch

[@KingKola01]

I'd consider this, but i hate having to have subscription just to have deep sleep analysis.

[@StefanKamer]

You don't really need the sub. Without the sub it's the same level of detail that you see in most other competing watches. The subscription gives you a level of detail that you don't usually see elsewhere like statistical analysis within each stage of sleep

[@do__ob]

The subscription exists because they need it to keep Fitbit alive. They could remove the sub and make everything free and standard but the price would have to go up by quite a bit, and they also know that not everyone will want or need the complementary data and analisys that fitbit provides. I don't really like that system either but I suppose it's the best middle ground for now. At least they give 6 months for free so you can decide for yourself if it's useful to you or not.

[@faarao44]

I hope they will improve battery size, high hopes for this watch

[@GK-qc5ry]

Unfortunately not still 24 hours only

[@EvertonAbreuCorrea]

I'm just waiting his review tô decide if I buy one or migrate to iphone just because of apple watch. I'm really hoping this pixel to be good enough to stay on Android 😅.

[@secretmediagmbh3929]

⁠@@EvertonAbreuCorreaWe are talking about minor improvements within the data. 0.93-0.98 with Apple and 0.91+ with the Pixel watch 2. Regarding that point both are just as fine. You should be more worried about battery life and the user interface. Apple has it‘s own ecosystem and everything matches, but Google is a combination of several ideas. Android was never designed to blend in that well like an Apple Watch with IOS. Apple does the best Software in the industry, but with the big downside of minor improvements in their devices over the years and mostly outdated components with a high price point. Decide for yourself, but be aware that if you pick Apple over Android you pay more for less, especially when it comes to Smartphones. It has a reason why this channel prefers the Oura Ring and Whoop strap. They don‘t give you the best data, but they are easy to wear, because comfort plays a big role too.

[@Lasnem-rt1mm]

@@EvertonAbreuCorrea I am also in trouble, as Apple watches are pretty good, but wear os watches are not so... While apple phones are terrible for me, I tried them and escaped from that world back to Android in 6 months, that was a period which hit me so much with their old school OS and missing of many functions vs to high-end android phones. At the moment I have an alternative solution: Android phone + Ticwatch + Oura ring 3. Last two would be fine to replace by one really good wear OS watch, but there is no any options on the market, as: larger size + 3-4 days battery with AOD + accurate sensors both for sports and sleep tracking + all features open to use on xioami phone. Samsung Watch Ultra looks good for me, but there are important features locked to non-Samsung phone users, further it was not so cool in Rob's test, thile its price is getting close to apple watch ultra... I am not sure what Google does on this line, but they can not feel how to have real funky...

[@Angelofthenorth1]

Will the new software features and improved algorithms come to the pixel watch 2 or are they exclusive to the watch 3? Cheers

[@amiralg8653]

Mi Band 9 review please!

[@PietroBlu]

I'd like to know how do you build your benchmark indexes to compare the watches. I see the top ones are almost all Apple and Huawei for cycling, while for running amongst the usual (!) Apple and Huawei the best Garmin is Forerunner 165, way over the 965. Quite odd!

[@piotrnowakowski7175]

Hey Rob! Thanks for the great material! Could you please review Amazfit Helio ring going in pair with Amazfit Balance watch? I'm wondering if sleep tracking is improved when they are used together

[@sd67b]

I'd like a 400+usd watch to at least for days or weeks. I'm not sure why the battery size or usage is so incorrect on premium watches. The power could go to the core features and lighten the usage from OS and any extra features. Also no sensor for oxygenation/pressure if I'm understanding correctly. Do you have any data and opinions on accuracy and uses of the extra sensors on even budget and mid-range wearables? It seems a weird trade for me that premium devices seem to not last long or have full features.

[@hippie_4762]

Can you review the Sennheiser Momentum earbuds with the HR sensor? I'm curious how they perform.

[@bledig]

How is withings nova? They are the closest to a classic watch but they seem to have dropped out of your review. Are they bad ?

[@richardr3702]

Can you extend your testing to other consumer health monitoring devices? e.g. smart scales. I've been using the Xiaomi smart scales (S400, scale 2...) but the metrics seem arbitrary. For example depending on what age I input my calculated body age keeps changing dramatically.

[@Mau365PP]

Please do the Huawei Watch D I am begging you 😭🙏 😅 It even has Blood Pressure sensors. How does it perform compared to other Huawei watches? ⌚️

[@trym2121]

Just see the similar generation and sensor. It's gonna be 99% the same minus the blood pressure stuff. My dad used one and it's not as accurate compared to Omron (it's calibrated to hospital standard) and also it's a hassle that you have to use the special strap for blood pressure test. Now, he uses something else after ditching the D. He said it's too much a hassle in daily life just for the blood pressure gimmick. He just chooses to diligently using Omron for blood pressure test

[@MAGAted]

i've found a lot of this training load, recovery stat's, etc, etc, gibberish, and it doesn't help that the manufacturers all seem to use their own terminology's, hence i've reduced my training paradigm to instead meet the WHO exercise guidelines, a minum weekly accumulation of 150 heart point's of either moderate or intense activity, (which is a very similar concept to the PAI activity of the amazefit watches), and though i use a huawei device i can import the data into google fit to view the heart point's gained additionally, i run a 6k circa once a week to get my Vo2 max as a measure of cardio improvement
