Pixel Watch 2

Google's 2023 Pixel Watch 2 fixed battery life and added safety tools, but it's two generations old.

Buying call

Buy the Pixel Watch 2 only used and cheap as an Android smartwatch for notifications and Fitbit tracking: reviewers liked its light aluminum build, faster chip, stress sensor and Safety Check, and it lasted longer than the first Pixel Watch. Skip it if you want a bigger screen or modern features, since the Pixel Watch 3 and later grew the display and added Readiness scores. It comes in one size, the bezels are thick, and some health metrics need Fitbit Premium.
