Google Pixel Watch 2 (Previous Model) with the Best of Fitbit - Heart Rate Tracking, Stress Management, Safety Features - Android Smartwatch - Champagne Gold Aluminum Case - Hazel Active Band - LTE

I had to replace my aging Galaxy S3 Frontier which is at it's end of life. I love that watch! I was going to get either a Galaxy S6 Pro or a Pixel Watch 2. After much soul searching, I knew I had to make a decision. so the gambler in me decided to try something new. I'm glad I did! 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.

Love this watch. Easy to switch bands and the bands stay attached unlike my Fitbit. Watchface is easy to read and not too big. You have to make sure the charger is on snug or it won't charge. This has only happened once to me. I guess I bumped the charger and it moved enough that the watch didn't charge. It doesn't keep step count well. It is always at least 200 steps off. That it frustrating. For this reason only I have been thinking about going back to Fitbit.

I got the Pixel Watch 2 a few weeks ago, and I couldn't be happier with it! I was looking for a smartwatch that would not only look cool but also offer great functionality, and the Pixel Watch 2 delivers on both fronts. The design of this watch is sleek and modern, and I love the customizable watch faces that allow me to express my style. The build quality is top-notch, and it feels durable, which is important for someone like me who's always on the go. The performance is outstanding. The watch is super responsive, and the apps load quickly. I can easily track my steps, heart rate, and sleep quality, which helps me stay on top of my fitness goals. Plus, the integration with Google Fit is seamless, making it easy to monitor my progress. The battery life has been impressive. I can wear it all day, even with active use, and I usually have some juice left at the end of the day. The fast charging feature is a lifesaver when I need to top it up in a hurry. One of my favorite features is the Google Assistant integration. It's incredibly handy for setting reminders, asking questions, and controlling smart home devices. Voice commands work like a charm, and it feels like having a personal assistant on my wrist. The Pixel Watch 2 also keeps me connected with notifications from my phone, so I don't miss important calls or messages. It's a great way to stay in the loop without constantly checking my phone. Overall, the Pixel Watch 2 is a fantastic smartwatch for teenagers like me. It combines style, performance, and functionality in one package. I can't recommend it enough!

I bought this smartwatch as a gift for my husband. The design and color I chose are neutral and beautiful, and they go well with my husband's style and personality. Among the positive things my husband highlighted about the watch are its easy integration with his smartphone, which is also a Pixel. It tracks sleep cycles and exercise routines quite well, which helps you stay fit and regulate your sleep routines. Among the negatives is the battery life, which doesn't last more than 24 hours.

Obsessed with my pixel watch. I am a pixel phone user as well, so love that it connects with my Google fit and my Fitbit app. Lots of apps available on it, as well as phone answering and texting. Gps works great! I use it mostly to track my vitals and workouts. But my ring camera also connects to it and shows me when someone is at my door. Only negative is that the battery doesn't last long--maybe a day and a half. However, it charges quickly and I just set it on the charger while I do my makeup and get ready for my morning and it's almost fully charged by then. Lots of clock face customization too.

I bought this watch 14 months ago. I have loved it. Last night, it started malfunctioning. I looked up the issue online and found hundreds of people with the same issue, so it's obviously a bug in the watch. After several hours on the phone with Google, who tried to blame Fitbit, who sent me BACK to Google, I was told there's nothing they can do. After spending a lot of money, two months out of warranty, they couldn't care less, not even a tiny discount on a new one. I'm sad, because I love the look of the watch and I love its features. What I don't love is Google treating this like it has nothing to do with them, even though it's apparently a common problem. I hate the look of other comparable smart watches, but I hate giving my money to a company who can't be bothered to fix a common problem nor make any compensation to their customers even more. My advice if you decide to buy it is to choose the 3 year warranty; that way, you might get three years of use for your money before they tell you to stuff it.

Have used several other cheaper fitness watches. This is great, has lots of features and appears durable after 7 months of use. Much more accurate than previous bands. Setup and connectivity were easy. I think spending a little more will save money in the long run.

This watch is an upgrade from any Fitbit model in my opinion. I can easily access my contacts and create a message or call someone directly from my watch if I can't get to my phone. I find the step count more accurate than Fitbit while pushing a baby stroller. It charges using a magnetic charger via Type-C and charges within about an hour. The battery doesn't last as long as I'd like but it doesn't bother me unless I forget to charge my watch in the morning. It keeps track of my heart rate and monitors for any irregular signs. Very decent way for the value!
