I was wrong about the Pixel Watch! In this video, I tested the watch thoroughly for heart rate accuracy, gps accuracy, speaker quality, microphone quality, and much more.

This device was sent to me at no cost. This did not affect my review in any way.
ADDITIONAL REVIEW NOTES:
ACCURACY TESTING
Has ECG in some countries
Workouts let you lock in on GPS before starting - better than fitbit
DESIGN
Smooth pebble design with durable stainless steel
Stainless steel body gives the watch a premium feel
41mm body and 1.2” AMOLED display
32gb storage
5atm water resistance
You’ll probably want some case or bezel ring
Straps attach in a new way
I could see an aftermarket lug adapter being nicely
What should I compare this to? Comment and subscribe please
SPEAKER AND MIC TEST
FEATURES AND INTERFACE TOUR
Has Google Pay
Can choose which wrist and which side crown is on
The best software experience in any android watch, and potential to be the best ever with more app support and a few bug fixes
Bottom icon for timers or other stuff. Kinda like dynamic island
Google maps
Press crown 5 times for sos
Has AOD
Recent apps needs a redesign
Fast google assistant!! This used to be sooooo slow
Connects to fitbit account
Cons
Paywall
I kind of miss Samsungs rotating bezel. I at least wish tiles were below and not sideways
Some mold flash or something
No auto workout detection
One day battery
No fall detection yet
No high or low HR notifications
No SPO2 yet
Only one size available
Software experience is everything here. With a redesigned WearOS 3 interface and one of the best fitness data apps (Fitbit) this watch is all about the software experience. It’s early, so we need more apps but I think we’ll get that soon

Even with the older chip, the UI is far smoother, more responsive and jank-free compared to the Galaxy Watch 4/5/. I wasn't sure I'd keep the Pixel Watch (free gift with the Pixel 7 Pro) because I just upgraded form a Galaxy Watch 4 Classic to the Watch 5 Pro, but, after seeing the beautiful UI, the fluidity and the general responsiveness, I might actually keep it. If it does well, I'll just sell the Wacth 5 Pro in a few weeks.

Does the watch do multi-sport? Can it automatically transition between brick workouts like Swim-to-Bike, or Bike-to-Run, or a track a full tri and also keep track of time in transition areas? Or do you have to end a workout and begin a whole new workout type (eg. swim/bike/run) mid race for each transition?

Whats the battery life when recording GPS activities? I have a Garmin Vivoactive which lasts 5/6 days when just used as a watch, but GPS recording over 7/8 hours will kill the battery. With the pixel watch only having a 1 day battery life should I expect much shorter while recording activities?

I have the Fitbit sense and I've never seen GPS drift the waiting for connection feature has been part of every Fitbit with GPS, blaze/iconic/Sence.

I'd like to see how this compares to the Fitbit Sense 2 and the Garmin Venue 2 Plus. Mainly, are all the tracking features (sleep, heart rate, oxygen, etc) actually usable? From this it looks like at least GPS and Heart Rate might be. Also how is the real-world battery usage? I'd want to do sleep tracking, but how does that work if best case is only 24 hours of battery life? Seems like it would have to be charged 1-2 times every day.

The Garmin Venue series is kind of this watch’s competition. I think the UI is better on the Pixel & app selection too.

I believe you can get a soft film to put over the face of the watch. There is also a case to protect it that snaps on over it for less than $30. Will not mention the vendor. There is always pro and cons for all items. We all hope the 2nd gen. will answer all issues.
