I also really like how customizable the phone is. There are lots of watch face options and you can even further customize each watch face. There are also downloadable watch face apps for even more options. I have not explored this too much beyond what is included on the watch. There are lots of accessories available to customize the look of the watch. It comes with a basic silicon strap. It's fine, but you can find different colors and styles of bands and cases.
I have two main complaints...
1) Battery Life - You have to charge it once a day on average. I like using it to track my sleep, so I need to charge it during the day. That being said, it charges quickly. I've gotten in the habit of charging it in the morning when I sit down to start my work day.
2) Charging Cable - It has a special, unique charging cable. It doesn't plug in, it uses a magnet to attach. It's always annoying having special cables for charging. It is also a different charging cable/mechanism than the previous model.
Additional Concerns... You need to get a protective case. It's a watch, you will bump it into stuff, drop it, etc. Just a screen protector will not cut it. The curved body means a film protector will come off more easily. There are plenty of cheap options for protective cases available, though.
On the plus side, you can change just about every setting imaginable, and the Fitbit is a nice touch (despite most of the good features behind a subscription service). That's called Google greed. You'll get used to it. They're a monopoly for a reason. Using it to make and receive calls is awesome. Got a call the other day and was able to talk as I washed the dishes. No earbuds are required. The person who called me said the audio was great.
I highly recommend this if you don't mind the craptacular battery life. I'm surprised they didn't fix it with a software update. Something is feasting on the power. Or they went with the lowest bidder for parts.
Oh, if you have fat fingers or medium-sized ones, forget about the keyboard. LOL. You'll need a stylus (yes they work). The speech-to-text is very good but you have to remember to say "period" or "comma" when composing messages. If you don't, it'll be one long sentence without proper punctuation. You can even say "heart emoji" and it'll insert that. You can also go back and edit the message with your fingers and use the keyboard to correct mistakes. I'll update my review if needed and the longer I use it. Oh, the ECG works and is very cool. Even the sleep monitor caught my apnea.
One of the standout features of the Pixel Watch 2 is its comprehensive health and fitness tracking capabilities. With advanced heart rate tracking, stress management tools, and safety features, it's like having a personal health coach on your wrist. Whether I'm hitting the gym or taking a leisurely stroll, the Pixel Watch 2 keeps me informed and motivated to stay active and healthy.
The design of the Pixel Watch 2 is equally impressive, with a polished silver aluminum case that exudes elegance and style. The porcelain active band adds a touch of sophistication, making it suitable for both casual and formal occasions. Plus, with its Wi-Fi connectivity, I can stay connected and productive even when I'm away from my phone.
As an Android user, I appreciate the seamless integration with Google services, allowing me to access my calendar, emails, and notifications with ease. The intuitive interface and responsive touch screen make navigation a breeze, while the long battery life ensures that I can rely on my Pixel Watch 2 to keep up with my busy lifestyle.
Overall, the Google Pixel Watch 2 is everything I could ask for in a smartwatch and more. It combines cutting-edge technology with stylish design, making it the ultimate accessory for modern-day living. Whether you're a fitness enthusiast, a tech geek, or simply looking for a stylish and functional smartwatch, the Pixel Watch 2 has you covered.
Now clearly, a watch released less than 6 months ago is going to out perform one released 6 or 7 years ago. But the improvement in performance is remarkable.
It's faster responding, pairs quickly and easily with my Pixel 6a smartphone, and has superior software.
It's really the software that makes the smartwatch useful and productive. And to Samsung's credit, they kept my old war horse's software current. But, the Fitbit software is much more modern than Samsung Health. It can scan barcode label on food packages when I record what I eat and it is much more flexible in terms of how the nutrient servings list is recorded. And that means less manual calculations when trying adjust servings from grams to, say, ounces.
Heart monitoring is more accurate, stair climbing is much more accurate, and sleep monitoring is actually usable. It might be the advancements in sensor quality rather than the software algorithms. But I do trust the results more.
Charging the battery is FAST. I get about 36 hours of life from the battery, on about 45 minutes of charging. Twenty minutes of charging while I shower in the morning will give me about 12 hours of battery life. The wireless magnetic charger is a little different from the Samsung watch, but it is very functional. The user needs to make sure that the crown and stem is parallel to the power cord, and once the watch is about an inch away from the charger, the charger is drawn to the watch magnetically and it leaps up and connects to the watch. This is not BS on my part, it happens everyday. Only once has this connection not been made perfectly.
The PW 2, is smaller and lighter, physically. It's about the size of a traditional men's mechanical dress watch. My ancient eyes can see the slightly smaller screen with ease. My arthritic gorilla fingers akso have no problem manipulating the screen. It is comfortable to wear long term, even to bed, for sleep monitoring. It offers a more classy and elegant appearance than the larger and sportier S6 Pro.
I was comfortable with the new user interface within a day or two; so I think people coming from another brand won't have a huge learning curve. Like the Pixel Smartphones, Google uses a simple and uncluttered interface that I found very intuitive.
I am quite pleased with my purchase,and can recommend it to others.
Battery normally lasts around 24 hours and it's dead in the morning after sleeping with it.
At least you can change the watch faces, because you can't add in any special widgets like on the phone. Trying to access devices through Home
Haven't figured out how to answer in the watch an pickup in the phone, but that's me I guess.
Assistant usually sends tasks and times to the phone and not the watch, Even after training for which is which.
Also assistant voice to messages usually fails to send even if the devices and network are all in very close range.
There really isn't anything they I can boast about the Pixel 2 watch.
I wont try to use Google Wallet for another 2 days yet on the Pixel2 watch. i will update the review once i try that a few times. I have used my Pixel7 phone with Google Wallet for a long time now and whenever the Ticwatch or the OnePlus watches did not work, my Pixel7 phone worked with Google Wallet every time. So, obviously an issue with those other two watches. I “assume” that Google will get this correct on the Pixel2 watch.
I did end up using the longer strap that comes with the watch. Taking the strap off is a bit of a pain, probably for most men who keep their nails short. I had my wife use her nail to push the very small “button” and slide the shorter strap off. Putting the longer one was a bit of a pain also until i read the very small manual again and actually used the longer strap to push the button (and not my own short finger nail), then the longer strap went on first time. For me, not the best design for changing straps.
But, in general, the installation was a breeze. Probably better than the other two watches. I did buy a foldable charger which will charge both my phone a Pixel2 watch. Looks pretty good on the nightstand.
I'm keeping an eye on how long a charge on the watch holds. Last night it was fully charged when I went to bed and was at 88% when I woke up after about 7 hours of sleep. During the day, I get various notifications, an odd phone call or two. As the watch his new, I am obviously playing with settings etc, but that should settle down once I get used to the watch.
With Google Wallet, I used the Pixel2 watch twice yesterday. Once at WaWa for gas and once at Publix (groceries). Neither of the two other watches worked at Publix. What was interesting is that when using Wallet on my phone at Publix I get the blue and white check mark very quickly but when using the watch, the checkout terminal showed me a "please wait" or similar message and was accepted once the cashier finished ringing up the purchases. I'll check that out again in future Publix purchases.
Alarms...I have 3 alarms set on my phone for Monday, Wednesday, Friday at 06:30 and had to set these manually on the watch so alarms o NOT sync between the phone and the watch. I think I have the standard clock app on my phone but not sure...I just looked at it on the phone but not obvious if I added this app or if it is the standard app.
UPDATE 7/11/2024
Google Pixel2 Watch – Battery Loss and Google Wallet Observations
Battery loss
Day2
06:00 to 18:00 battery 88% -> 69%
23:30 to 06:45 battery 100% -> 88%
Day3
06:00 to 18:00 battery 88% -> 54%
Day4
23:00 to 06:30 battery 100% -> 93%
Sleep mode enabled by time setting
FitBit enabled (NOT premium) – For my purposes (I’m 74), premium doesn’t seem worth it.
I get a phone call or two, notifications and time checking
Took cat to the vet for yearly checkup
Watch Google Wallet did NOT work, Pixel7 phone also did NOT work.
Turns out that they take Apple Pay but NOT Google Pay (why would a vendor do this?)
Day5
Hyundai dealer, Pixel2 watch accepted for service payment. Had to hold the watch almost touching the pay terminal
Day6
Watch lost 9% of battery while sleeping over night (22:15 to 06:00) from 100% to 91%
Treadmill this morning, FitBit seems to disagree with the figures that my treadmill provides
Treadmill – 31 Minutes, 1.53 miles, 111 calories
FitBit – 21 minutes, 1.32 miles, 274 calories
It’s interesting that the watch seems to recognize that I am exercising and prompted me to select a mode. I chose “treadmill”…this was after I had been walking for a number of minutes. That may explain some of the differences shown above…but not the calories I would think. You should wipe your wrist and watch dry after exercising.
UPDATE 7/16/2024
IF I press start on the watch as I start walking, the treadmill and watch statistics are pretty close. Heartbeat (obviously changing) is pretty much the same between treadmill and watch). Miles walked (treadmill says 1.5 miles, watch says 1.4 miles). Treadmill doesn't count steps although the watch does.
Google Wallet/Pay or whatever they are calling it today. It seems that there are some stores that take Apple Pay but NOT Google Wallet/Pay. My vet is like that, local Chinese restaurant last night was the same. From some web searching, it seems that Apple Pay is used a lot more than Google Wallet/Pay. My local Publix supermarket takes the Pixel2 watch but refused the earlier smart watches I tried (TicWatch nPro5 and the OnePlus Pro). So, it would appear that this Pixel2 watch is more reliable than the other two using it for credit card charges. What make this watch even better is a larger unit. I read that the Pixel3 may have two sizes.
Watch accepted for payment at the Olive Garden yesterday. I had to hold the watch very close to the pay terminal. It seemed to accept it as I kinda tapped the watch on the pay terminal gently. Not sure if tapping it actually did the trick or not.
