this wrist is naked because I need a new smart watch my last Smart Watch was not
so smart it died in a dumb way but guess what ha this wrist is not naked because
there's a new watch in town the pixel watch and I got more than just that one
look at these three cool colors we're gonna check them out
let's get them open people's been waiting for years for this even Google I
think these things were designed like in 2018 but we'll get to that here's a
black one and this one's Hazel I think this
matches this phone yeah look at the band
and then the underside of the
chassis is like the uh kind of polished camera visor on the side you see that
cool we'll look at them in a second first what else is in the Box paper
and that's literally it you don't even get a charger
wait wait a second that huge thing I pulled out
you get another band so it comes with a band on it you get a second band
in case your wrist size changes you know can happen baby weight and then you do
get a charger and it is it is a wireless charger it oh don't take it out like I
am the charger kind of looks like the watch face and in that it's really
bubbly got a subtle little G logo on it
but that I believe is the back it's gonna sit on your table like that and
your watch will sit in that little conky spot it's very minimal and cool it kind
of looks like yep for sure the wire is heavier than the whole thing so it's
just gonna get flipped around I don't know hopefully it
will relax after a while and it can just sit there
so yeah it's pretty on there and be oh
it's not super strong magnet but the fact that it's concave makes me feel
pretty confident it can only draw us all a little bit so I feel pretty confident
in the contact there and then you get to go out of my way I
have a power lunch all right let's look at the different chassis there appear to
be three different bodies so I think we do have them all this one is polished
steel this one is the champagne gold not to be confused with rose gold stainless
steel with the Hazel band and then this
one which is probably gonna be the top seller I would think is the matte black
stainless steel and this this is probably what I would choose
that looks so cool and for those wondering about the bubble design I will
say in real life this looks a lot flatter it it's flat on top I was
worried that it was actually a dome because that's actually how they're advertising it for some weird reason but
it's not a selling point that just means it's gonna stick out at one point that's
gonna get scuffed on everything but this is flat so you can scuff it all evenly
if you want it does have a crown so you
can scroll like this with your finger instead of scrolling on the face and
getting it all fingerprint-d and also covering half the screen with your finger
um it does click as well
and then so this active band style has
just a little Boop friction fit kind of Knob there
that it slides through and this is a silicone
um band and it feels pretty good I would uh I think I might choose this band I
did also experience the woven bands which are also made of recycled
materials they seem okay the amount of force that they have is not very tight
so it's comfortable but it does look like if you if you're like look over
there it would fly off your wrist they're not super tight at least they
weren't super tight on me I really like the way that these watch bands attach to
the face it's super integrated and seamless looking
like look at that there's no little knobby sticking out it's all in the
watch the mechanism is inside so I will admit that it's not as easy to work as
it looks in the demo that they gave it comes off easily enough but say the
button that you press is curved and shaped just like the watch band you just
overlap it with a watch band use the watch band to depress the button and
then slide it over and it locks in place it's great I'm going to take it off
every time I'll just have it on my wrist just take the face off directly and let
everything fall away like pedals like tears and rain oh no I accidentally
turned it on there's that button here I was gonna I was gonna say there's a
button there it's not just the knob okay before I turn on let's talk about
our sponsor dbrand guess what they did they made some new patents look at this
It's All Digital looking and they got it on phone cases too this
one was arctic Camo and it fits on my pixel 7 Pro oh no it doesn't this is not
a seven Pro case this is this the glitch camo they're all kind of glitchy to me
the names don't make sense dbrand this actually does fit on 7 Pro and then
there's also the Navy camo one they're all very cool and guess what you can get
these patterns on literally all the skins that they provide right now so you
don't get a new look for your existing v-brand skin do it now makes you feel
like you got a new phone you know this is really ugly get yours today at the link below
oh that guys it's active and because
this is a pixel phone it's got that Smart Connect shiz magic experience
connecting to Google pixel watch I really hope this goes well because I
need a new smart watch I am missing notifications it's so Inky black with
the OLED it looks awesome terms of service you know what I'll take them all
do it all Google ShortCircuit who cares
stay connected to your body and your world it's about time Google Slide the
band through okay I don't need instructions for this guys pretty sure I
pretty sure I could figure this wait a second they should be like get a
friend to come and grab this for you oh it's upside down
oh there's a little Google logo in the band too I'm going third Notch guys
you ever get like in between and it's either too tight or you can go like this
and flop it around this looks all right how's the how's it look with a white
T-shirt does it look fresh
I'm old so I'm glad when people tell me that I have to believe him I I have to
set watch orientation so wait there is no upside down I could have done it the
other way wow Freedom get the Fitbit
mobile app oh it's just like Samsung you have to have more than one app for your
watch that sucks couldn't they just integrate it into a one app to rule them
all I'm going to skip pay for now but I'll
have you know that I'm excited for pay right now I have to reach into my pocket
or maybe if I get lucky I'm holding my phone already and then unlock it and hit oh if I can
just go bam that's like a tricep extension every
every time I get to buy something that's just an added benefit if you're one of
those people who goes why would I want to watch what can I even do with the
watch here's a good screen for you this is showing all the different apps that
they either are on my phone that are compatible with or ones that are just
recommended so music some Fitness and
the Google camera believe it or not this is a pixel only feature but you can use
your watch as basically a remote for the camera so not only can you use it to hit
the shutter to actually take the photo when you're standing back sting but you
can also use it to zoom the camera as well but sweet no more selfies right
wait no more selfies meditation uh Easy Voice Recorder if you just want to put
your hands over someone's shoulder and go hey buddy you talking to my microphone make a permanent record or
something more workout stuff more workout stuff bitmoji for wear OS hey
remember those and notes why don't we can do that
although if I can display a shopping list on my wrist as I'm shopping that
would be actually super clutch unlike some other watches it only comes in one
screen size I'm a medium person so I
think this screen size looks great this is what I would choose if I had a larger
one it would look chungus on my wrist but if you have like thick boy wrist
then it might look a little too dainty For You childish like a toy uh Weight
Wise totally feels normal no comment
there doesn't feel like weirdly light or awfully heavy as for the glass that's
Corning Gorilla Glass 5 not victis glass that you find on the pixel 7 Pro phone
okay here we go oh there it is how do I
go back to home learn how to use your new watch yes
please you swipe up for notifications you swipe down for settings you click
the crown to do all your apps or go back
home and you click the side button to go to your recent apps or you can double
tap it for your last app in my case I haven't launched anything so it brought
me back holy cow my heart rate was 69.
that was sick did you see that nice
that's probably one of the coolest standout differentiating features for
for this watch is the all-day continuous
heart rate tracking it doesn't matter if your at rest or in a workout you can get
heart rate monitoring that updates once a second all day and that's actually
factored into their battery life claim of up to 24 hours it's pretty in line
with the competition it may not be to my high standard but other watches give you
that or less so get used to charging before bed for a
little bit I guess and maybe when you're making your lunch in the morning they
say it was one of the biggest things in their keynote was how good they got this
heart rate monitoring they took a bunch of data from different people use machine learning on it to figure out to
Signal versus noise um and have apparently have the most
accurate heart rate monitoring on a smart watch it may not be good as other
wearables that have the sensors on your finger for example but as far as uh
light that gets shot at your wrist they say theirs is pretty good it says that
it's rated for five atmospheres which is like 50 meters deep which is crazy deep
even if you are a licensed diver you can't go that deep unless you get
additional courses uh one atmosphere is
just like sea level but if you scroll down to the footnote attached to that
claim it says this is not waterproof water resistance degrades over time uh
don't don't use this for water sports
Etc I say risk it hit us up in the comments
if it doesn't work out for you this feels very smooth it's nice
um I will say that a lot has been made of the bezels in this watch
all of the wallpapers that they that
they have available and that they showed in the marketing are all very dark mode
based and they hide the bezels because
the bezels are huge and that could be a deal breaker for some people but I don't
know you get used to it and I guess it does some kind of palm rejection for you
you can call it Palm rejection accidental swipes are gonna be lessened
because you have to go right into the watch to actually mess with it I don't
really think they're that much bigger than other competing watches I did see
someone make a comparison but this is what they look like I think they are
most notable if I turn on the flashlight though so I'm going to try to do that
for you guys there it is what that almost like I guess the edge
of this is kind of uh the edge of this is kind of shadowed so it's casting
itself in like the worst possible light but if those look a pretty chonker now I
want to see if I can customize this watch face
big time this one's called big time I
like it and that actually matches the band pretty nicely now you are able to
also set images from your own photos app
as the background which is cool you're not you are not beholden to there
sanctioned apps you can do whatever which is cool it's
Android right let's see what's in this watch app so if I choose one like this
and then I hit edit oh cool I can change the color of the
highlights
this is really interesting and robust
I like the way that they've done this because too often there's something
that you like but it's imperfect and you have to just settle with its
imperfections whereas this gives you you should be able to get a little closer
because you can pick something that you like generally and then tweak it a bit
oh and there's different slots for the complications and I can add each one of
those so I don't care about whether I care about calories for example
what else they got in here day of the week favorite contact wife on speed dial I
don't know the answer to questions involving my own personal finances
you know stuff like that heart rate's right there moon phase just
in case for you Pisces out there if you're a Jupiter Ascending UV index
world clock what is world clock do you
get it's just other just a random cities
time okay did it work
did I did it how do I get it to the watch
add new okay so a certain subset of the ones you
create will be accessible from the watch you have to add them there it just seems
dumb tiles okay so it looks like you can
add again a subset of tiles to your watch hand wash timer I'll add that tile
added
hand wash timer there it is whoop
always use soap
doesn't know if I'm doing it no it's just a timer I'd like to do the back be like this oh
you got to get in there that's a girl that's a gross part I do sometimes a
little wrist grab like that you gotta do that one anyways oh that's not long
enough okay so towels are cool they're like widgets
you can see that one app can have multiple tiles
very cool now Google decided in their infinite wisdom to load this thing with
a exynos 9110 a chip from 2018. their
speculation as to why that is maybe they made this watch back then and then they
decided they want to acquire Fitbit and then the pandemic happened and then
everything went on hold and then that's why it was so delayed I don't know it
would have been nice if they had a modern ship it would have been ideal if they had a custom silicon like they have
in here like a Google tensorship would have been cool but they don't and if
they had maybe they'd have better battery life than we do because you know
that's what the deal is with new Chips they're more efficient like the pixel
phones though you can charge 50 of the battery in half an hour which is pretty
good and in 80 minutes you can do 100 and that and I think that's great if you
find yourself not having a lot of battery left when you want to go to bed
and use the sleep tracking half an hour for 50 like by the time you do your
skincare addicts routine and brush your teeth and tucked in the kiddos like
that's your half an hour right there now on the topic of sleep tracking there is
a paywall version of like Fitbit premium
and there has been with all the other Fitbit devices and that carries on till
today with the pixel watch you can pay to get uh I believe the main stano
features are like workouts and meditation stuff as well as
analytics insights to some of the the
other features that you don't need to pay while to use you can just get deeper
insights if you do pay but one of the insights uh that I wish was not behind
the paywall is the Readiness score or like your Readiness if you have a good
sleep or a bad sleep you know it'll tell you hey you're probably ready to kill it
today or hey maybe you should skip your workout today because you're not gonna
do well anyway because you didn't sleep very well last night I'm personally
interested in that future I like to be able to try it without having to have premium however the watch does come with
six months of Fitbit premium and three months of YouTube music premium note
though the footnote at the bottom of the page says that it's for uh new and returning
uh users only so if you currently subscribe to either of those features
you can't just get some free months out of this I would suggest uh canceling
your account redeeming your your free months and then
you know signing up extending it after that again if you if you want to just
get some free months out of this thing 32 gigs of storage on board there are
two versions of the watch the one with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi and the one with
Bluetooth Wi-Fi and LTE for 50 bucks
more the base price of the watch is 350
US Dollars seems kind of I don't know
it's kind of weird uh it's expensive
they have Flagship devices they have a flagship watch they also have budget
devices like the like the 6A and this watch costs almost as much as a 6A so
it's kind of weird from a strategy perspective and then there's Myriad
bands and they have different prices as well so you kind of just got to go on the website and and configure it the way
you want another thing that this watch
kind of doesn't have there's some question marks around this is automatic
workout tracking on other watches you start a workout and it goes oh I noticed
you're canoeing bud so now we're
tracking your canoe workout and then it'll automatically pause or stop as you
pause or stop your workout this doesn't specifically have that now
a rep from Fitbit said it's coming but what it does do is retrospectively track
your workout so you do some activity and then later on it looks at the data
collected throughout the day and recognizes that activity as a workout
and then we'll put it in it'll log it correctly from then on but you know what
at least on my Samsung Galaxy Active 2
or whatever watch I had it was pretty bad anyway sometimes
you're like half an hour into our workout you're ending your workout and that's when it detects it or vice versa
you're just like walking downstairs and it thinks you're working out summing up
I think this is an interesting watch it's good looking I'm into it because
I'm a pixel Fanboy or at least a pixel user
um so I'm more excited about it than a Samsung watch
I'm not prepared to say that it's going to outperform something like some of the
Samsung Watchers that have been what they're like four generations in now or
something five Preposterous so I wouldn't expect
these things to be perfect on their first generation but they are exciting
they look very cool they're stylish like their Samsung compatriots so they have
some proprietary or ecosystem only lock-in features so if you are a pixel
user then it'll it'll have that quick sync that you saw earlier it'll also
share Wi-Fi so you you log in Wi-Fi on
your phone and then it just automatically logs into your sister devices like your watch or the upcoming
pixel tablet slap this matte black one on my wrist and never give it back I
think you guys saw align us on Twitter say that I can just steal this off right
that included the watch right minus all
right thanks for watching ShortCircuit guys if you like this video hit like and
uh yeah that looks cool I like it way more than that white strap who would get
the white strap the same people get white Interiors in their Teslas it's
like man I wear jeans sometimes I don't have to wipe my seat up anyway see you
guys
