Its laundry list of health features, useful wearOS optimizations, and stellar design make it an excellent option.
Both sizes sport the classic polished-pebble look and feel comfortable on the wrist.
It’s a nearly perfect design, aside from the sometimes clunky to-use band mechanism on the back.
It’s still as responsive as ever, thanks to a Qualcomm processor that keeps things ticking along.
Whichever size and model you go for youll also get six months of Fitbit Premium for free.
The larger displays on both sizes feel lik they’re molded onto the recycled aluminum bottom.
It feels responsive and is an easy way, in conjunction with touch, to navigate wearOS.
When you open Workouts, youll see more rows for types of workouts on both sizes.
When viewing messages or emails, more text is visible, giving you a better sense of the message.
Its pretty handy, and I also liked being able to quickly adjust the temperature on a Nest thermostat.
wearOS optimizations aside, a lot of what else is new lives within Health and Activity.
Best of all, though, these arent behind the Fitbit Premium paywall.
It feels responsive in everyday use for productivity tasks, and does a good job of tracking workouts.
Like both of those, the Pixel Watch has dual-band GPS for more accurate tracking when you’re outdoors.
Tiles are still a very fast, responsive way to get things done on the Pixel Watch.
My one area of disappointment is battery life, specifically on the 41mm watch.
Otherwise, both are plenty responsive.
Google Pixel Watch 3: Scorecard
Google Pixel Watch 2: Should I buy?
It offers the Double-Tap gesture, all-day battery life, and excellent health features.
I compared the results with other smartwatches and wearables, like the Oura Ring.
