The Pixel Watch 2 isn’t Google’s newest gadget anymore, but at $149, it’s $100 off its launch price—and the lowest it’s ever been, according to price trackers .
It’s the follow-up to Google’s original Pixel Watch , which had a few first-gen stumbles (check out the differences between the Pixel Watch and Pixel Watch 2 here). With the second-gen Pixel Watch, Google cleaned up a lot of what felt unfinished in the first model, and this time around, it leans harder into Fitbit’s strengths. Daily health tracking, fitness insights, and wellness alerts come baked in, while Wear OS keeps the app experience smooth and familiar. Read this in-depth review of the Pixel Watch 2 to learn more about it.
At 41mm, the watch is small and wears light on the wrist. You’re still getting an always-on AMOLED display that holds up well in sunlight, and about 33 hours of battery life—just enough to stretch through a full day and night if you’re careful, but charging overnight still becomes part of the routine. The Pixel Watch 2 still runs Google’s Wear OS, so there’s tight integration with your Android apps and features, from Assistant to Gmail to Maps. You can start a workout, check your calendar, and swipe through your day without much lag or fuss. Plus, it has all the standard fitness smartwatch essentials, including GPS, heart rate tracking, skin temperature, blood oxygen levels, and a stress sensor. You’ll need a Fitbit Premium subscription ($9.99/month) to unlock all the insights, though. Without it, you’re still getting basic tracking, but not the full reports and coaching.
The Pixel Watch 2 holds its own against pricier competition like the Galaxy Watch 6 , especially if you prioritize comfort and Google integration over raw specs. PCMag gave it an “Excellent” rating , mainly for the improved performance (thanks to the Qualcomm 5100 processor), smarter health tools, and durability (it’s IP68 rated ). That said, this watch won’t be for everyone. There’s only one size (if you want a Pixel Watch for a bigger wrist, you might want to check out the Pixel Watch 3 ), and if you’re after big visuals or long stretches away from the charger, it’ll come up short. And some of the more advanced health metrics—such as stress responses and deeper sleep analysis—sit behind a paywall, which can feel like a letdown on an already premium device (even when on sale). Also, just a heads up: This is the wifi version of the watch, not LTE, but for most Android users, that won’t matter much.
