The Google Pixel Watch 2 is a new version of the first model that saw the light of day in 2021. The specifications indicate improvements in terms of efficiency and higher processing power, longer battery life from 18 to 24 hours with faster charging and improved health measurements for heart monitoring, sleep tracking and skin temperature. In addition, the design has been modernized and the wearing comfort improved.
The practical test indicates that the functionality is quite broad with support for many sports activities and measurements, specifically in combination with an Android phone, and that the measurements are quite reliable. The screen is still very small for those who wear reading glasses and it is a pity that there is only one model.
Google and Fitbit work closely together, so that this watch pays specific attention to health aspects in combination with the advanced Fitbit app. The Premium Fitbit app is optional and offered free for 90 days. The recommended retail price is high.
