Google’s “Made by Google” event today introduced us to the new phones Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro. In addition to these devices, the company also introduced its newest smart watch, Pixel Watch 2.
The new watch comes as a much more advanced device than the original Pixel Watch, with improvements made all around. We see increased battery life, increased performance, and new security and health features on the device.
What are the technical specifications of Pixel Watch 2?
When we look at the external design of Pixel Watch 2, it is possible to say that it has not undergone major changes compared to its predecessor. The watch weighs 31 grams. That means it is 5 grams lighter than the previous generation. This is due to the body being made entirely from recycled aluminum rather than stainless steel.
In Pixel Watch 2, we see 41 mm size and OLED screen. The device, which comes with the Always on Display feature that ensures that the screen remains on all the time, offers a maximum brightness of 1000 nits. We should also point out that there are features such as 4G LTE, Bluetooth 5.0 and NFC.
The watch features Qualcomm’s Snapdragon W5 processor paired with 2GB of RAM. Its battery was announced as 306 mAh. Google says that the device can offer 24 hours of battery life with Always on Display turned on. He adds that it can be charged to 50% in 30 minutes and to 100% in 75 minutes.
Innovations in safety, health and sports
Pixel Watch 2 is equipped with sensors that measure heart rate and blood-oxygen levels, just like the first generation. It can track users’ stress levels with a feature called “Continuous Electrodermal Activity”. It can also measure your body temperature and provide users with detailed information about their sleep quality.
He’s also much better at sports. The first Pixel Watch wasn’t very good at things like recording workouts. This problem has been solved in the new watch. Pixel Watch 2 will be able to automatically record workout starts and ends for seven different activities, including running and cycling.
There are also improvements in security. For example, users will be able to set a schedule for when they will arrive home. Pixel Watch 2 will ask them if they’re okay when that time is up. Even if there is no response, the user’s location will be shared with the people they added to their emergency contacts.
Pixel Watch 2 price
The price of Pixel Watch 2, which went on sale in the USA, was announced as $ 349.99.
