Given that this bad boy looks exactly like its older relative, buying it just for the looks obviously isn’t the best decision. After all, the OG Pixel Watch is the more affordable variant of the two. So, what exactly makes this puppy a worthwhile investment right now?
Well, it comes with plenty of tweaks the predecessor lacks, such as highly accurate metrics, adequate battery life, and faster overall performance. Also unlike the OG Pixel Watch, this bad boy arrives without some of the bugs that make the older model a bit more annoying to use at times.
You also get a fluid UI that’s easy to navigate, and the battery life isn’t half bad, or at least compared to last year’s model. Additional improvements include an all-new heart-rate sensor and two new functionalities: the first one measures skin temperature to display women’s health data, while the latter, a cEDA sensor, measures stress.
Although it may not be exactly on par with the best smartwatches on the market, the Pixel Watch 2 offers substantial improvements over last year’s model, making it a worthwhile investment if you’re willing to stretch your budget a bit. And now that you can get it at $50 off, it gives you even more value for money.
