Pixel Watch hands-on: taking a page from Apple

Yay.. Another device where I have to worry about charging nightly... No thanks

The Apple watch ultra is too big. Looks stupid

Samsung Google competition ⭐

I'm glad it ain't square. I will never buy a watch with square faces.

Wow, the reviewer is not excited about this watch.... I suspect it's not going to do well in the market.

The Pixel Watch at 41 mm is too small for me. I wonder if the battery life is small as well. I do like the look and a larger version of that watch would be ideal.

Love the simple look of this, but I’m tough on watches. Looks way too delicate for me.

This is obviously an Apple fan introducing this video. She really tries to seem unbiased, but some of the things this brings up are s clear indication of you are good at reading people.

First watch 🤔 It's a Fitbit watch, so it's not a first watch for me.

I'm really excited about this watch since I've been a long-term user of both Android and Fitbit (10+ and 6+ years), but gave up on WearOS about 4 years ago. Here's what I'd be interested in seeing in a review:
1. Real-world battery life and charging. With a battery that maxes out at 24 hours, can I get through a whole day including sleep tracking (assuming no extensive exercise modes)? What's the fastest I can recharge the watch, and can I use my existing qi wireless chargers?
2. Real-world heart rate tracking. I appreciate the emphasis on accuracy from the presentation, but how does it really stack up to other baseline devices?
3. Exercise tracking. I'd love to go on a run without my phone. Does the watch automatically detect when you're exercising and initiate a tracking mode? How accurate is GPS location data when tracking routes? Is there a consistently smooth connection when listening to offline music while exercising (I've been burned by this on older smartwatches)?
4. General software performance and features. Given the older processor (perhaps balanced by the co-processor), how does performance compare to the latest Galaxy Watches? Are there any Pixel phone exclusive features? I have an S22+ so the Galaxy Watch would be my 2nd choice.
5. Durability. The dome screen looks fragile, how easy is it to damage the watch with normal wear and tear? Would you recommend using a case or screen protector?

It's stainless steel at $350. Apple sells theirs $800 lol

How good is the sleep tracking compared to the Apple Watch, any UI design flaws. How it works with an iPhone.

too feminine on a man's wrist☹

that's a nice watch

I'm in a wheelchair and use a special program that operates an assisted e-motor (permobile). My old wear os device barely lasts 90 minutes with it on. I wish there was a way to test how long the battery will last in this scenario. Show us disabled folks some love - The verge!

my first smart watch was an apple watch 3, I switched to fitbit and an android phone 2 years ago. THe apple watch is a great product, but I think the fitbit only needing a charge every 2-3 days extremely attractive. My hope is pixel kinda splits the difference, a reliable and snappy watch that can make it through an entire day.

Plz do a comparison with Samsung Galaxy Watch 5

I got galaxy watch 4 at 100 dollars,lot better than pixel watch in every way.

I would like to hear more about the Fitbit integration.

Miss the Moto360 😭

I would like to see a SIDE by SIDE comparison with other companies like Samsung and Apple.

As an Apple Watch Ultra Guy.... um this thing is beautiful. Wow. Apple take notes. Sheesh.

Love pixel line of products, but honestly am not thrilled about this watch design. If they keep making this line, maybe down the road I'll adopt. For now I'm loving my ticwatch 3 pro, 3 day+ battery ftw.

Need to know, definitely the battery life on day to day use. How water resistant is it, for swimming at the least and also does it track swim activity now that it has Fitbit? Does Fitbit seamlessly sync to Google Fit? Continuous heart rate reading/monitoring? Finally, how bad does it lag?

Thank you.

PS: does it have light sensor to support auto brightness adjustment? Hope it does, it's 2022!

When she said "band mechanism tough to use" I imagined those over exaggerated infomercials.

I see that bezel.

its basically a galaxy watch Active 1

I want it’s ‘concentric’ watch face.

Another blah blah blah video. Get to the point.

They own Fitbit, parts of HTC, and work closely with Samsung and Fossil. Do you REALLY think there's going to be glitches in this watch?!?

Please compare against the current top 3 Android watches. Also would love to see some durability testing! That dome screen doesn't look like it will last six months in the real world.

Just checked out at the store, much prettier than I thought

The first review that actually states the diameter. This is a very important dimension for watch enthusiastic people. 41 is actually considered not a small watch. Most rolexs come in 38 inbches. 43 is considered massive for most people...

Why is she wearing an iPad mini on her wrist? 😆

Google watch 2 would be better bigger and way less bezels hopefully!
google i hope you're seeing this comment!

I charged my watch up on Sundays only. Monday through Saturday I'm good. By the time Sunday come bck around my fit bit versa 3 will be at 15% battery life.

Far too expensive for what it actually is. Quite frankly you'd be a mug paying £380 for this or equivalent other brands.

Not paying 350 for a watch that doesn't last more than a day lol

Why doesn't anyone mention the non-compatible with iPhones... :(

Pixel Watch, there is no mention to Blood pressure monitoring, is SPO2 measurement 24/7 ?! I hate the old menu style to navigate!! After 6 month how is non premium Fitbit app? what's the alternative for non buying monthly Fitbit subscription?
For me, Samsung watch 5/4 classic (for styling & smart apps) + Huawei Watch 2 (for workouts & 10 days battery) are what I'm buying together for about 500$ ,,, The Pixel Watch may have Samsung watch 3 CPU and Samsung watch 4 screen with more ram and storage.

Can it broadcast heart rate to other devices?

Too expensive for how small it is, and not don't get me started on that bezel!

What happened to the verge ? Just checking back recently and realized sth is off, not sure the style or the way they talk. Not the high standards that I used to see anymore

its my fault for coming here expecting a fair first look for a google product out of the verge :p

Google’s first watch but if Fitbit have anything to do with this then Fitbit have been making devices for at least a decade

“Google’s first try at a smartwatch”
Are we forgetting they bought Fitbit?

to the person in charge of subtitles at the verge, the two [unintelligible] words are "lugs" and "bezels".

You gotta make the audio better, there is simply to much background chatter.

I'm sick of this women reviewing things. They have no meaning.
