We’ve accidentally cracked the screens of the Pixel Watch and Pixel Watch 2 during reviews. Taking bets on if you think we’ll crack the screen this year too 😅

Love the BMW meme reference at the end. lol

Good review, & nice shots of them worn. Lovely how you wore two throughout. 😊Great vid!

[OguraTech]

pixel watch and pixel watch 2 still are great devices. I love these new ones

Doing a Pixel Watch overview while wearing an Apple Watch. Classic.

Good first look and looking forward to the review! That BMW reference at the end 😂

I have a feeling I’d break the glass on this watch within the first month of wearing it at work.

Auto-sleep is unironically an amazing feature for me. I always leave bedtime mode on by accident on my Galaxy Watch 4, this will help a lot.

My Pixel watch is out for delivery! Very excited Ive been sporting a Fitbit Versa2 for a couple years now waiting for pixel to pick up some of its features like automatic sleep mode. Unfortunately pixel still lags in the battery department but I'll get used to it. Bought 2 one for me and one for my father for the heart monitoring capability and fall monitoring. With an elderly parent who has a stroke history it gives me piece of mind.

Seems to have better features than my Apple Watch.

Listend to the vergecast pod today and holy smokes i see what they meant about the rings.

It’s like she’s slowly becoming this timeline’s variant of shang chi, lady of the ten rings!

Are any of the new features locked behind Fitbit Premium?

[ArthurZakaryan]

If you live in LA, you will see that you don't have to own a BMW to realize that turn signal use is very much optional here and few utilize them, just a PSA.

[vjndr]

Is the BMW unlock feature also a subscription like Fitbit or the heated seats?

[theclutch]

I would love seeing you drive and live in your cars travelling thru Europe in various locations and taking picturesque shots.

From the ordering information at the Google Store it seems Google has gone back to an aluminum case from the stainless steel case used on the Pixel 2. I found my Pixel 2 with the stainless steel case to be noticibly heavier than my first generation Pixel Watch.

!! Slim Down those Bezels !! -- A Great start though Google really does need to keep up with Samung and Apple with regard to the watch both on the Bezel thickness and features !!

[dagoldman]

I've been able to unlock my Pixel 6 with my Pixel Watch 2 for ages

[aaron-rh]

BMW joke pulled me back to like the video 😂

[jaughnekow]

Kinda glad they didn't follow Apple and Samsung to release an ultra watch
