Google has officially introduced the second-generation Pixel Watch, with new improvements in both design and functionality compared to its predecessor.
The Google Pixel Watch 2 comes with a sleek and eco-friendly design, being crafted from 100% recycled aluminum, resulting in a 10% lighter watch than the previous model. Its larger crown ensures ease of use and comfort, especially during sleep.
Under the hood, the watch is powered by a new quad-core CPU, offering smoother performance. Impressively, it offers an extended 24-hour battery life, even with the always-on display, thanks to a low-power co-processor. Additionally, fast-charging capabilities mean you can reach 50% battery in just 30 minutes.
One of the standout features of the Pixel Watch 2 is its three new sensors. The enhanced heart rate sensor, equipped with multiple LEDs, provides significantly more accurate readings, especially during intense workouts. Moreover, the Fitbit Body Response feature, using a continuous electrodermal activity (cEDA) sensor, can detect signs of stress and offer guidance to users.
The watch also monitors skin temperature at night to analyze sleep patterns and overall wellness. Users can easily access health and fitness information using voice commands through the Google Assistant app.
With Wear OS 4, the Pixel Watch 2 offers a customizable and user-friendly experience. Smarter notifications, improved accessibility, and the addition of new apps like Gmail and Calendar enhance its functionality.
Key Specifications of the Google Pixel Watch 2 include a 3D curved always-on AMOLED display, Qualcomm 5100 chipset, Wear OS 4.0, 32 GB eMMC storage, and 2GB RAM. It features a range of sensors, including those for oxygen saturation monitoring, heart rate tracking, and skin conductance (cEDA) for body response tracking. The watch is 5 ATM water-resistant, has built-in mic and speakers, and supports 4G LTE (optional).
