At the Made by Google event, the company unveiled its latest smartwatch, the Google Pixel Watch 2, alongside the Pixel 8 series.
This marks a significant milestone as it's the first time the Google Watch has made its debut in India. Here's everything you need to know about the new Google Pixel Watch 2.
The Google Pixel Watch 2 has been eagerly awaited by tech enthusiasts and consumers alike.
The Pixel Watch 2 India launch is particularly noteworthy, given that it's the first time a Google Watch has been introduced to the Indian market.
The Pixel Watch 2 boasts an enhanced design, featuring a more resilient cover glass and a body made of 100% recycled aluminum.
For those who owned the previous model, there's good news: the bands from last year's Pixel Watch are compatible with this new iteration.
Diving into the Pixel Watch 2 specifications, the smartwatch is powered by a 306mAh battery. With the always-on display feature activated, users can expect up to 24 hours of battery life.
Charging is also efficient, with the watch reaching 50% charge in just 30 minutes and a full charge in 75 minutes.
The inclusion of Wear OS 4, exclusive to the Pixel Watch 2 initially, and the Qualcomm Snapdragon W5 processor, ensures optimal battery performance. Specifically, the Pixel Watch 2 battery life is further extended by these enhancements.
The Pixel Watch 2 new features are not just limited to design and battery. The watch comes equipped with Safety Check, a feature previously seen on Pixel phones.
This safety feature shares your location with designated emergency contacts if you fail to check in after a set timer expires.
Health monitoring has also seen an upgrade. The watch now includes three new sensors. The heart tracking sensor, now a multi-path sensor, offers readings from multiple points on the wrist, increasing accuracy by up to 40%.
Additionally, sensors to detect temperature and monitor stress have been integrated, providing users with insights and advice on stress management.
The Fitbit app on the Pixel Watch 2 has undergone a redesign. Leveraging AI, the app will introduce new features to enhance user experience. As an added bonus, the watch comes with a six-month subscription to Fitbit Premium.
The Google Pixel Watch 2 price in India has been set at ₹39,900. The Google Pixel Watch 2 pre-order information for Flipkart has also been revealed.
