Last year, Google entered the smartwatch race with the release of the Pixel Watch. Designed to work in tandem with the Pixel phones, the smartwatch boasted a minimalist design and featured an emphasis on fitness. This fall, Google is iterating upon the wearable with the Pixel Watch 2.
The Pixel Watch 2 was revealed during the Made By Google 2023 event. Once again, there is a strong emphasis on fitness with the Pixel Watch 2. It sports a redesign Fitbit app, with improved heart rate monitoring and analytical feedback on your exercise.
