The $349.99 Google Pixel Watch 2 is the rare sequel that’s better than the original. It’s got better battery life, better Fitbit health and safety features, and more updates and tweaks than you can count.
For whatever reason, being second generally isn’t a good thing in our culture. It’s baked into our vernacular: sophomore slumps, second place is the first loser — even the parable of the prodigal son was about a second-born child. In the world of smartwatches, we never talk about the Apple Watch Series 2, Samsung went straight from the Galaxy Watch to the Galaxy Watch 3, and Wear OS 2 was Bad. So I’m chuffed that the $349.
Granted, my spouse ignored most of the alerts because I was “just testing something for work,” but my best friend dug the notifications. She gets it. My main problem was forgetting to turn off the timer when I got to where I was going. In the future, some geofencing capabilities might be useful. Another feature I liked was Safety Signal, which lets you use cellular emergency SOS features even if you don’t have an active LTE plan.
