Right now, the Google Pixel Watch 2 is 20% off in a post–Prime Day price drop. With upgraded health tracking, sleek design, and seamless integration for Android, Pixel, and Fitbit users, it’s one of the most popular and stylish smartwatches on the market.

The Pixel Watch 2 includes advanced sensors for heart rate tracking, stress management, and skin temperature detection. Using Google AI and built-in sensors, it offers more accurate heart rate and fitness information than the previous model. The battery life, according to Google, lasts up to 24 hours and takes just 75 minutes to recharge, but reviews are mixed. While some users report that it lasts up to 48 hours, others say that their device requires daily charging, but does charge in about an hour or less. 

Android and FitBit users appreciate the connectivity of this highly customizable watch, as well as the flawless GPS function. For Pixel users, the Fast Pair feature makes it easy to sync Pixel devices like earbuds or camera devices with each other. An added perk is that it can connect to devices like security cameras, showing when someone is at your door. If you’re using your watch to track steps, monitor health, or control your phone directly from your wrist, this is a convenient way to do it.

If you don’t mind slightly unpredictable battery life and have regular access to a charger (which works quickly on this watch), the Google Pixel Watch 2 offers a blend of design, robust health and tracking features, and connectivity. However, if battery longevity and rugged durability are top priorities, you may want to opt for a more outdoor-friendly watch at a similar price point from a brand like Garmin
