Only one case size Subscription required for all fitness data Small screen, big bezel

“The Google Pixel Watch 2 is a huge upgrade, offering better performance, battery, and more.”

Battery life is now workable ; Outstanding HR accuracy ; Design is still great for 24/7 wear

Battery life still not great or predictable ; Only available in one case size ; Fitbit Premium required for some stats

The Pixel Watch 2 offers improved battery life and heart rate monitoring, ensuring that it bests its predecessor and can now be worn for a full day. It’s by no means perfect, but it is a solid alternative to Samsung’s latest watches.

Lighter, 100% recycled aluminium housing ; Multi-path heart rate sensor ; New safety features ; Can track stress and ECG

Automatic workout detection kicks in too late ; We've seen many of the new features in other wearables ; GPS is slow to pick up signal

The Pixel Watch 2 is on the right track to catch up with the Apple Watch... eventually. The new wearable is arguably better than its predecessor, but it still needs further refinement. the parts are all there, and all Google has to do now is to figure...

Improved battery life over previous version ; More Fitbit health and fitness features ; Responsive performance ; IP68 rating ; 100% recycled metal casing ; Attractive and comfortable design

Pricey ; Some health metrics require a premium membership ; No preinstalled compass ; Only comes in one size

Google's Pixel Watch 2 offers longer battery life and more health-tracking features than its predecessor, remaining one of the best Wear OS smartwatches.

Battery actually lasts all-day ; Much faster charging ; More cohesive Fitbit integration ; Better health and stress tracking ; Safety Check is a great emergency feature ; Pixel Watch 2 now eligible for Preferred Care ; Listen, almost everything is better

Still comes in only one size ; Recycled aluminum isn’t better than stainless steel ; Safety Signal requires LTE model and Fitbit Premium ; We wrecked another Pixel Watch screen this year without trying

If I were Samsung, I’d be nervous.

More efficient CPU means true all-day battery life ; Abundance of fitness features and health sensors ; Minimalist design bucks trend for chunky WearOS watches

Still only one size, which looks dainty on large wrists ; Bested on battery life by larger rivals ; Chunky display bezel hasn’t been tamed

A wider range of fitness features and marginally better battery life improve Google’s second-attempt smartwatch – but the Pixel Watch 2 isn’t the dramatic upgrade many were hoping for.

Improved performance ; Accurate heart rate tracking ; Comfortable to wear ; Stylish design

Experience feels a bit monochrome ; Another subscription needed for full health stats ; Battery life incosistent and generally not great ; Only one smallish size ; Not repairable
