How to use health tracking on Google Pixel Watch 2
The Pixel Watch 2 has the same round display, which looks slightly curved. It is made from 100% recyclable aluminium, making it 10% lighter than its predecessor. The watch also has a haptic crown, which is larger this time, and a side button.
The AMOLED screen supports up to 1000 nits brightness and AOD. It has a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 5. Pixel Watch 2 has a quad-core Qualcomm 5100 chipset with Cortex M33 coprocessor. This is expected to improve both the watch's battery life and performance. The Pixel Watch 2 supports a larger 306mAh battery, which is said to last up to 24 hours with AOD enabled. There is also support for fast charging, which can provide a 50% charge in about 30 minutes.
The smartwatch comes with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. There is a heart rate sensor with an AI heart rate algorithm, an SpO2 sensor and ECG support. There is also support for the skin temperature sensor. The new addition is the Body Response feature from Fitbit Sense 2, which can sense sweat level and heart rate change to see if you're stressed. This is thanks to the new Continuous Electrodermal Activity (cEDA) sensor, which was missing from the Pixel Watch 1.
