This might be my new favorite Android smartwatch. Over the last few days I’ve extensively and systematically tested the Pixel Watch 2 for it’s health and sports tracking capabilities. And, I have to say, the Pixel Watch did not disappoint. And, dare I say it, it might even start to compete with the Apple Watch. Though maybe not completely, since I already encountered some issues in the first few days. I performed a first test of the heart rate tracking performance, sleep tracking accuracy and GPS tracking. Let’s get to it!
Hello everyone, for those of you that are new to the channel, my name is Rob, and I am a postdoctoral scientist specializing in biological data analysis. As you might have noticed, I am not in my usual studio, but I am actually visiting my parents in the Netherlands and recording this video from my childhood bedroom. But, back to the Pixel Watch 2. One of the main improvements of the Pixel Watch 2 compared to the first generation Pixel watch is the improved sensor set, which Google says now has more LEDs, which produces a more accurate heart rate reading than ever before, being up to 40% more accurate for vigorous activities like HIIT, spinning and rowing. This is partially due to a new AI heart rate algorithm as well. Of course this is exactly what we want to put to the test. I tested this on myself during 3 indoor cycling sessions, 3 outdoor bike rides, 3 weight lifting sessions and 3 outdoor runs. In a future video I will also test the Pixel Watch 2 on Theresa, who is also wearing one right now. Let’s start with the performance of the Pixel Watch 2 for a relatively easy exercise, cycling indoors. - Věda a technologie

Hi really love your video, very scientific review. I wonder can you add Body Fat, Muscle Bone percentage measurement category. Don't know if they even legit feature or just for advertisement. Thanks
Is there alternative of galaxy watch and fit bit with high sleep sensor without monthly fee (no apple)
Hi love the videos. Will you be reviewing the Google pixel watch 2 sleep analysis in more detail? Would love more than a day or so data thx
What smart watch should I buy I have a Heart problem (Heart enlargement) to monitor my heart thanks.
Hi Rob when is the full review of the Pixel Watch 2 due for release ?
I was waiting for your review. No other has comparable credibility. Thanks!
Other reviewers only touch the surface.
The typical tech reviewers should either adapt or stop making their reviews. Even the biggest names make reviews of a fitness watch with 0 discussion on their fitness accuracy.
I appreciate that! 🙏
Very true. Other reviewers just say, 'heart rate is very accurate', but don't tell us based on what, or tell us how they measure that
Same
I've been watching your videos for some time now (around 2 years) and I just wanna say thank you for every reviews that you did and for the work that you put in those reviews. Your methodology is always what drives me back to your videos, keep it up!
It’s crazy how fast you got this done, while the preorder gifts are still available! Thank you so much!
That was quite an impressive performance. Especially the heart rate trekking was better than I expected. Now I'm very curious how the new Fitbit Charge 6 will perform since Fitbit/Google claims some very serious improvements (60% better) for that device incorporating the same technology as in the Pixel Watch 2. That would be the dream, great heart rate monitoring with the Fitbit sleep tracking in the form format of a tracker with long battery life. Hope you test the Charge 6 soon.
It looks great. Im waiting for final review. Thanks for your work
This may not mean much but I am very proud of you. I started following you when you started and I am glad you are still going. Hats off my friend.
nice work! I am looking forward to the longer review of the sleep measurement performance for this watch!
Thank you, was waiting for you to release this 😊
Hope you like it!
Seeing the earlier watch's results and new upgrades, I bought the watch right away but seeing your perfect review I am even happier now. Thanks a lot for the great video.
This is the first time I've seen your channel and I love how in depth you go
Thank you for getting this review done so early! Very detailed and organized presentation as usual.
Bought this myself with your help, so far so good. Thank you!
Would be super interesting to see the original pixel watch retested against the new one to see how many of the improvements are hardware or software related :)
You're such a huge data nerd - and I LOVE it! Thank you for the insights. I just got mine last week and loving it so far - good to know the accuracy is pretty good. Thanks.
I am looking forward for your next video of the Pixel 2, with more data from testing time
Nice review! Glad sensors are improving. Hoping for a review for fitbit charge 6 as well.
I want that too, i plan to buy one on black friday next month but hoped to see a review of my favorite scientist first.
Even more excited for the Scanwatch 2 to see how it compares vs the battery
This is great data! Thanks so much, I was contemplating this or the Apple 9. LOVE that vs chart with the complete list of perfomrers. Awesome stuff! Subbed for sure.
So glad I stumbled across this video. There seems to be a lot of negativity and snobbery against the watch based on subjective opinions (Apple's had a decade to get to where they are now) so it's good to see a more factual analysis of what the Pixel Watch 2 can do. I've been using the first gen watch for a year and while it had some GPS 'wobbles' early on it seems to be pretty good of late with reliable HR and sleep tracking overall. I look forward to the full in-depth review.
People love to criticize every single brand while worshiping Apple
@@levipb1403The opposite is rather true these days if you really pay attention to what transpires online in the tech space.
Apple had a decade and ruined my ultra with their last major update 🙄
Really looking forward to the more in depth review of this
Because visiting parents, is no excuse for not doing hardware reviews, right? 😉
Thanks for "pumping out" these quick initial pre-reviews Rob, in a effort to keep even those "impatient viewers" happy as well! 😉👍
Thanks for putting out this review so fast!
Love this. I just got the new FITBIT CHARGE 6 and I'm loving it. I can't wait for you to do a video on it and compare with pixel watch 2.
This was the analysis I was waiting for 💯
Wow! First time viewer here, found your link on a reddit post and I will say this is exactly what I've been searching for! Someone who is actually using the pixel watch 2 for its health and tracking capabilities for a true review, I just received mine today and am upgrading from a Fitbit sense so this was absolutely perfect! I have now subscribed and can't wait to continue to support your channel! I do just have one question were you using the pixel watch 2 LTE or WiFi only ? Also I can't wait for your full review!
It's comforting that the sleep trakcing improved significantly. Since I have the PW1, would you mind doing a retest on PW1? I wonder if the improvements are from software upgrade
Really looking forward to your follow-up video.
If you will allow me to make some suggestions, it would be nice to hear about battery life and also Fitbit vs Google Fit. From what I understand in this video, you are using Fitbit for sleep tracking.
Thank you for your scientific approach to all these tests.
Great insights, doing a wonderful job.
I love your channel. Thanks for the breakdown. Helped me choose my next watch.
I literally don't watch any other fitness tracker reviews except yours. By FAR rhe best reviewer out there! Top class stuff, thanks a lot and looking forward to the long term full review!
Grazie mille per il video. Ottimo lavoro :)
Pixel watch 2 seems like it's doing very well. Nice to see!
This video was the most important resource in making my purchase decision - thanks a lot, Rob!
I love your data driven approach. I have to sub now.
Been waiting for this review too and just in time! When review for Garmin Venu 2
The review I have been waiting for ❤
Happy to hear that!
I'd love to hear even a quick re-review of Garmin Fenix 7, because people have been reporting for months now, that its' software seems to have gotten much better, and I've also noticed on the charts that You've changed its performance, and sleep tracking looks promisingly decent :) + its price dropped too so it might be a really good pick overall.
Compared to first Gen this is a great improvement. I can't wait for mine 🎉🎉🎉 great review
Thanks for the video! Please make a long review for this one!
Man, you're awesome! Thank you very much for such content.
Thank you Rob!💥💥💥
Love your reviews!
Commenting for the algorithm because such effort and content must be peomoted. I slept on this channel. Kudos, Dr. Rob 👏🏼🤝🏼💪🏼
Can u test the garmin venu 3 . Love ur content as usual top notch. Ty bro keep up the good work
been waiting for this
I love your videos. You are my go to before buying smart watches. I currently own a Fitbit charge 5 thanks to your reviews. Keep it up!
Thank you for the review Rob !!!!, I'm so happy that I don't have to purchase new iphone to update the software on my apple watch 6. Now I could purchase the pixel watch 2 and "sale" the apple watch 6 and iphone 8. 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Thanks so much!
Thank you soooo much for this video! I saw the Pixel Watch 1 watch as the only all around watch for Android, but wasn't pleased by the battery life and HW. I've preordered the Pixel Watch 2 and hoped to see you're video to confirm my expectations of it being the best watch for Android. Kudos to you and keep up the great work, now with your team :)
Side question - have you ever encountered a watch which majorly struggled due to fit? E.g. a watch preforms terribly with its stock band, but with an aftermarket one it improves drastically?
Great video!!!
I hope you will review new Polar Vantage V3 would be cool to also compare to V2 !!!
Thank you Rob !
Such a good and detailled Video. Cheers!
I am straight up IN AWE of your data visualization skills. I'm pre-med now and I'm applying for jobs as a junior research assistant, and this is where I want my skill level to be someday.
Nice to finally see some sensors improvement in the wear OS devices.
Thanks for the review! Regarding the not tracked nicht: try to delete it in the Fitbit app and add manually again, then might the sleep stages appear. At least for my Fitbit Sense this sometimes helps.
ur reviews r a life saver truly
Looking forward to the Venu 3 review
Wow! What an amazing comparison and expertise! Wow!
This was an amazing review. I love data analysis and have never seen anyone produce this level of detail for tech reviews. Great job. Do you use R or Python for the graphs?
all BS
When will we have the accurate sleep test? I am waiting for it before to decide if I should buy it :P
same here. Android users hard find a perfect smart watch for all functions especially sleep test as Apple watches do.
He has a sleep video up now
Thank you soo much ! One of the greatest channels on youtube !
Wow, thanks!
Just found this channel while researching a watch to buy. Was going to go with the Vivomove Sport cause of style, but seeing the results, probably will be choosing the Pixel Watch 2. Thanks a lot for your videos, they're amazing and help a lot!
Great Information! I wore both my Garmin 935 and Pixel watch 2 because I was curious about the data. During my morning walk there was about a tenth of a mile difference in gps tracking.
Do you recomnend me his purchase?
This is an amazing review. Wow. Now I just need to wait for my carrier to get one in stock.
This was really helpful, thank you!
Thank you very much - this is the Android watch I was most hopeful about and your review of it certainly didn't disappoint ❤
Well, it looks like I know what I'm getting myself this Christmas 😁
Thank you for such a detailed video. Please post the review for garmin venue 3 as well.
Thanks for the review. Looking forward to the charge 6 review, as I’m looking for a health and sleep tracking device, with a screen and long battery life. If it’s slightly less accurate than the whoop or oura ring, but provides a screen and 5-7 day battery life, that’s a win for me. ❤️
I'm using a Galaxy Watch 4 now, but it seems that it didn't really get more reliable with the new versions, so this is a very interesting watch. Thank you for this extensive review!
Outstanding video! Thank You!
Another helpful review. Thank you. Still waiting for the Huawei watch 4 comparison. 🍻
Can't wait for the in depth review
Nice data analysis, I subscribe
Dank je wel Rob ..
Love your work. No one comes close!
Hey mate, thank you for the detailed review. I would like to request to add an additional test to your reviews with regards to the battery duration and charging times.
Pixel Watch 2 saved my life. HR detected up to 150 BPM while sitting. My Galaxy 4 showed 90. Went straight to the emergency room. 7 days later I'm checking out with an IFD and meds to live. I love Google.
Yeah no that totally happened
wow
Fake story. Why were you wearing 2 smart watches? Also no way 150 was detected as 90. No freaking way
Why would he fake it? Just for likes?
you are a shill
can't wait for full review
I'm eager to see your longer term results!
Hi Rob!
First of all, nice job overall!
I have a polar grit x pro and Im very pleased with it...however, I want to change for some features of a smartwatch(e.g.payments with watch, etc) and not just sportwatch.
I am waiting your review for Garmin Venu3. When will you post it?😊
I was thinking about pixel 2(as I am an android user) however not sure how good is the battery as I come from polar which has 4-5 days batery with 3 workouts/week, very good sleep tracking and very good heart record, friendly interface, etc.
Thanks!
Thanks, please do Venu 3 :)
Amazing channel and great quality reviews. @The Quantified Scientist would you please consider testing Casio G-Shock GBD-H2000 or GBD-H1000. Thank you!
Great review. Thanks for this.
I hope you can test the new Xiaomi watch 2 pro when it gets available. The fact of it having finally wear OS makes it a really attractive alternative.
That's the review I was waiting for!! Seems very promising watch! Google is going in a good way ,
Been checking your channel for this videos every day! Thank you! So helpful when deciding between apple watch 9 or pixel watch 2, which I need to do today :)
Happy to help!
@@TheQuantifiedScientistdo you already know when you will update the review with further data?
Thank you and I really appreciated the scientific rigor in your work. I am wondering if you will be testing the calorie accuracy.
Great review thanks alot
You do it best man...im grabbing one
All you have to say is “looks very good” for me to know it’s good enough to buy 👍
Are you gonna test the Garmin venu 3 ? Thank you for your work done 😁👍
Yes, I have collected most of the data, but still need to process it 😊
If You feel bored enough, maybe a quick re-review of Garmin Fenix 7? @@TheQuantifiedScientist I've seen You've updated its performance on some charts compared to those from a review, and it got me thinking if it's now much more appealing choice for a first wearable, especially with its' dropped price :D
I am bery happy with venu 3 right now... it needs its time but than i am fine with it and most of the metrics feel right to the way i feel 😊
I am very happy with venu 3 right now... it needs its time but than i am fine with it and most of the metrics feel right to the way i feel 😊
"visiting parents in The Netherlands" is when I knew we were going to get an extremely technical and thorough review lol. Thank you for doing proper testing.
Eagerly waiting for your Fitbit charge 6 review. That totally decides my purchasing decision.
I love it, great job as always. I really really hope you review the new Xiaomi Watch 2 Pro when it releases 🤞🤞🤞🤞
YAAAAY THANK YOU! :D
Welcome!!
I love the pixel watch 2! I got it for free with my Pixel 8 pro purchase. The only downside is the battery life which lasts me a day, but at least it charges quickly. I charge it when I'm sitting down doing some work or relaxing, this way I can track my sleep or track my steps when I'm active.
Thank you for the videos! I would love to see a more quantitative test of the GPS on watches. I have a Watch 5 Pro and I bought it to track my 5K/10K runs but it consistently tracks my runs to be significantly shorter than they actually are which make it pretty unusable for that purpose. Maybe you would compare the distance recorded by the test watch for each ride against a trusted benchmark? That, alongside your visual comparisons would be very useful! I was really holding out for this Pixel Watch 2 to have accurate GPS but it looks like my wait goes on...
GPS testing from biological data analysts is a bonus. I wouldn't bother him with that. Let him focus on what he specialises in. There aren't other channels such as this atm.
Samsung's have always been dreadful for GPS distances.
I was waiting for this review, but I lost my hope it will be released before 16th (the offer including the Pixel W2 for free) and I've already pre-order it. Still, it's comforting to know it's a good choice. Thank you and greetings from across the border! (living close to Kerkrade :) )
Thanks for your work
So nice of you
Google seems working hard on pushing its watch towards the top 3 on your ranking Rob!
But is there any app/ way to get HRV and tracking your wellness in more details with Pixel watch?
