1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,160 Ladies and gentlemen, I've been stranded. This is the new Pixel Watch 2. 2 00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:06,880 I daily jive the Pixel Watch 1 from 2022. 3 00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:11,320 And this thing is e-waste because, oh my God, that's a nice presentation. 4 00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:14,880 You can't replace the screen easily. Mine is scuffed. 5 00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:18,360 I don't know if y'all can see this, but I don't know how they happen. 6 00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:21,840 I can't be arsed to have a case on it, and it is what it is, everybody. 7 00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:26,560 And now they've come out with a new version that basically addresses all the stuff 8 00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:30,800 that you hate from the old one. Namely, that it had a four-year-old SOC. 9 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:35,120 This one only has a one-year-old SOC. No updates on repairability for this puppy. 10 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,240 It's the same chassis, same screen, everything. So let's set it aside, though. 11 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,600 Let's check out what else is in this very cool box. On this side, there's a lightning bolt. 12 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,800 That means power. It's the same charger that I've got. 13 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:48,680 It does not look as cool as the Apple Ultra Watch 2 charger. 14 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:53,320 That's metal. The magnet on it is okay. Oh, it actually looks a little different. 15 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,920 It's got these little pins on it. Mine doesn't have that. 16 00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,960 And they actually retract when I press them. How queer? 17 00:00:59,960 --> 00:01:03,120 How does that work? The back of the watch is different. 18 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:07,360 Look at that. A clear difference. And I wonder if that has anything to do with how sticky this is on it, 19 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:12,400 or how fast it can charge. You can see there is a square pattern. So can I go on a diamond? 20 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:16,640 Like, do I now have to stick it correctly? Because on mine, I just put it on whatever. 21 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,560 Maybe if I align the cable with the crown, it's like, yeah, that's what I would do. 22 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,920 A satisfying click, I just heard that. And you can see it illuminating. 23 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,640 Now, the old watch, there's no way in hell. 24 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,320 It doesn't even, it's like, get me out of here. 25 00:01:33,320 --> 00:01:36,880 It's like, no, no, no, I don't like it, I don't want it. 26 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,200 The other section has what looks like a watch band. Let's see. 27 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:44,200 Oh, it's blue. What's on there now appears to be the shorter one, 28 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,440 which I'm sure is fine. The mechanism to get it on off is a little weird, 29 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:52,440 but it's not that weird. Press this section in and then push this to the side. 30 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:57,160 So in sideways, and then you enter from the far side 31 00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:01,040 that is depressable, and then click over. That was easy. 32 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,320 I could sell these things like that ShamWow guy. 33 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:10,400 The major consequence of having the older SOC on the original that people hated was the battery life. 34 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,800 You could get 24 hours of battery life on this thing. 35 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:18,880 You can see that I don't have it always on display though. I have to flick it to turn it on, which is the setting. 36 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:24,280 And the other thing is that they made a big deal of the heart rate monitoring being constant on this thing. 37 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:29,360 And their algorithms being able to do it so effectively that it wouldn't matter for your battery life, 38 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:33,200 which come on, if your watch sucks at battery life, let me turn off extra stuff that I may not need 39 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,560 like constant heart rate. Look, I'm getting excited about it. 40 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:40,160 On this one, they're advertising 24 hours of always on display, 41 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,160 largely because of the new more efficient chip. 42 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:49,480 Now the milliamp hours of these things, the battery capacity is slightly different, slightly. 43 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,600 So the battery life gain you're getting isn't really from the battery change. 44 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:56,520 It seems like it's mostly coming from the CPU. Let's get this thing paired. 45 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,720 It's already asking me, set up your new watch, continue. 46 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:03,880 I'll use an old one. I'll do location, it's the harm there. 47 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:08,080 Surveillance capitalist, huh? Where OS4 is on this watch now, 48 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:12,240 it's coming to my watch by the end of the year apparently, but it's on here now. 49 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:17,240 And that is helping you get faster charging on this thing with your new fancy do-hickey 50 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:22,680 with its four contact points. This thing will charge to 50% in 30 minutes 51 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:26,600 and 100% in 75 minutes, which is pretty good. 52 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,980 I will admit, this watch needs to be charged pretty often 53 00:03:29,980 --> 00:03:34,380 and for a pretty long time. If you plug it in for like a solid half hour 54 00:03:34,380 --> 00:03:39,300 every morning or every night when you're like brushing your teeth or in showering and stuff, you can kind of get by. 55 00:03:39,300 --> 00:03:43,760 But I do have a bit of charging anxiety. They're touting this new restore and backup feature. 56 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,800 And on first glance, I'm like, who cares? What's on my watch that I need to like restore and backup? 57 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,960 But I learned the hard way. If you go into your Bluetooth devices list 58 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:56,200 and you click on this watch and you say, forget this device, like you want your phone 59 00:03:56,200 --> 00:04:00,480 to just not pair it or whatever, you have to factory reset the device. 60 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:04,880 And that means you're gonna lose all your data. With where OS4 is backup, you shouldn't have that problem. 61 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,560 Which like, at least they were able to solve it some way. 62 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:13,120 That was just, I was losing my mind. And the only reason I had to forget all the devices 63 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,420 is because my Pixel was being so stupid with Bluetooth devices for a bit there. 64 00:04:16,420 --> 00:04:20,380 So it's Google all around. So Google, you suck, but thank you for doing something. 65 00:04:20,380 --> 00:04:23,740 Love hate relationship with these guys right now. Oh, all right, they're advertising 66 00:04:23,740 --> 00:04:27,260 the new safety features here that I don't have. I'm living life on the edge. 67 00:04:27,260 --> 00:04:32,060 Access safety features on your watch when it's connected to your phone or Wi-Fi. 68 00:04:32,060 --> 00:04:38,300 SOS, quickly call emergency contacts. Share your real-time location automatically in emergencies. 69 00:04:38,300 --> 00:04:41,540 And set a safety check to alert others if you don't arrive safely. 70 00:04:41,540 --> 00:04:46,300 So this is a cool thing where, you know, share my live location is pretty cool. 71 00:04:46,300 --> 00:04:51,460 But it's a battery drain. This is more like share my live location 72 00:04:51,460 --> 00:04:55,540 at a particular time if I haven't gotten home yet. And when you shared the live location, 73 00:04:55,540 --> 00:05:00,180 it's not just the live location. It's also my battery level and phone call status. 74 00:05:00,180 --> 00:05:04,740 Not sure what that means. Like currently on the phone talking to somebody, I guess. 75 00:05:04,740 --> 00:05:08,020 Other things that are new on Wear OS 4 is new apps. 76 00:05:08,020 --> 00:05:12,840 Gmail and Google Calendar are getting their own apps. And I researched it and there's been no words 77 00:05:12,840 --> 00:05:16,380 from Microsoft on whether or not we're getting teams. That would be the trifecta. 78 00:05:16,380 --> 00:05:20,060 You can get the assistant now to put things on your watch that it couldn't before, 79 00:05:20,060 --> 00:05:24,420 including like your schedule and stuff like that. I guess it's connected to the calendar thing. 80 00:05:24,420 --> 00:05:27,740 A pattern or pin on your watch, I just cannot get behind. 81 00:05:27,740 --> 00:05:30,780 I think that's, every time, it sucks. 82 00:05:30,780 --> 00:05:37,340 And the worst thing, you need to enable that. You must if you want to ping NFC tap for payment. 83 00:05:37,340 --> 00:05:40,540 Give me the freedom. What else, what apps do they recommend for your watch? 84 00:05:40,540 --> 00:05:45,580 I've already got the camera, which I believe is mostly for like, you know, 85 00:05:45,580 --> 00:05:49,180 everyone say cheese, shutter button, 86 00:05:49,180 --> 00:05:53,140 Google Photos, Spotify, and recommender for watches. 87 00:05:53,140 --> 00:05:57,640 Oh, they don't even show you what it is. They just say, trust us, you're gonna like these. 88 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:02,540 You can double tap the crown to get to your wallet, but it looks like for the emergency SOS calling, 89 00:06:02,540 --> 00:06:06,620 you just tap it five or more times. So you just spam it, I'm a drama. 90 00:06:06,620 --> 00:06:10,860 And I think that's pretty intuitive. Another thing that they have, if you launch the personal safety app, 91 00:06:10,860 --> 00:06:15,620 which is the Google app, I didn't know, you can add your medical information to this. 92 00:06:15,620 --> 00:06:20,420 And then if you do an SOS call, the emergency responders will have that information. 93 00:06:20,420 --> 00:06:24,020 Knowing your blood type ahead of time, I mean, maybe that'll make the difference. 94 00:06:24,020 --> 00:06:28,340 Google also sells a medical ID tag that you can attach to the watch band. 95 00:06:28,340 --> 00:06:31,940 Maybe that's really great for you. It's not available in Canada though. 96 00:06:31,940 --> 00:06:36,380 You can get it in the US and UK. It's 999. Every one of these has an eSIM in it. 97 00:06:36,380 --> 00:06:40,660 They'll be used for a lot of these emergency services, whether or not you have LTE. 98 00:06:40,660 --> 00:06:44,540 This will have fall detection that will call emergency services automatically. 99 00:06:44,540 --> 00:06:49,740 It's very cool, but even though you have the eSIM, you still need to have a premium Fitbit account 100 00:06:49,740 --> 00:06:51,720 to get these safety services. 101 00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:00,260 I mentioned the LTE. Let me just rapid-fire some specs at you. 102 00:07:00,260 --> 00:07:06,820 Two gigabytes of RAM, it's an LPDDR5. 32 gigabytes of EMMC flash memory. 103 00:07:06,820 --> 00:07:11,640 It's got Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, and the option for LTE, but that's a different option. 104 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,680 $50 price difference there. And the IP rating. 105 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:20,240 They gave it an official rating this time. Last time, they just, they didn't. 106 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:24,240 And they just said, it's good for five out in this series. Which is about 50 meters underwater. 107 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,520 But still, we wanted to know, can I go in a pool for half an hour? I don't know. 108 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:31,600 It's harder to shop across like products when they don't have the like certifications. 109 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:38,640 This time, IP68, they just said it. I've been showering with mine all the time, almost daily. 110 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:42,280 I love showers, and it's been fine. I wanna talk about the screen. It's the same screen. 111 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,680 It has the same TPI, which is 320 pixels per inch. 112 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,840 It is Gorilla Glass 5, which as we've seen. 113 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:53,200 And the brightness is up to 1,000 nits. I find I do use the flashlight quite often. 114 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,320 Really cool that it has white and then red. 115 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,720 You know, don't wake the baby, or just hurt your eyes at night. 116 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:04,080 It's fine, it's bright enough. Don't use it to like go hiking. But you could use it to, you know, 117 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:08,400 you're walking along the highway at night before you witness some teenagers kill someone by accident, 118 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,160 and you know, just so people can see you're there, walking your dog, whatever. 119 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:16,120 I know what you did last summer. Is anyone's, I'm old, has anyone seen? 120 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:20,720 There's a new multi-path heart rate sensor. So, you know, I went to the launch event for this thing, 121 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,600 and they were telling me how good their heart rate sensor is. But now it's 40% better. 122 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:29,680 25, 25 times more LEDs and diodes than the watch one 123 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:34,160 for better heart rate tracking, everything that goes with it. So let's see, can we actually see that? 124 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,200 Can we see the diodes? No. 125 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:42,280 It looks like one blinky green, but I bet if you looked really close, you'd see a lot of blinking greens, 126 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:48,200 and you'd even see more of them on the new one. Specifically, they say it's 40% more accurate 127 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:52,040 heart rate readings during intense cardio, 128 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:57,720 which you're doing, like hit training. I would love to use these features more. 129 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:02,400 Unfortunately, I can't wear a watch during my sport, which is too jiu-jitsu, because I'm so cool. 130 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:08,880 If you're into one of these seven other sports, running, walking, outdoor biking, indoor biking, okay. 131 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:12,720 Tread milling, rowing, and elliptical, 132 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:17,760 those things now are automatically detected. I think this, I'm not sure how many of those are new. 133 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:22,120 Some of those were already automatically detected. But the thing there is you ride in your bike 134 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,720 and then your watch just goes, oh, workout detected. 135 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,720 And they're saying that it's better at that now than it was before. 136 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:32,720 The Apple Watch is famously bad for that. There's a new skin temp sensor. 137 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,240 Can you just tell me what my, how hot I am? 138 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:43,920 Can you quantify this? You're a six out of 10. A new electrodes for Ceda, C-E-D-A, 139 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:48,840 which enables stress detection, which my watch has, but they're doing it through body response, 140 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,880 which was enabled on the Fitbit Sense 2. 141 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,600 I, in the Fitbit app that I have, they have stress, 142 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:59,400 it's not stress detection. It can make a stress log, which is pretty dumb. 143 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:05,200 It's too qualitative, right? You're like, today was pretty bad, but I had a coffee, I don't know. 144 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:09,920 I'd rather have something more quantitative. Like that tweet I posted about LTX, 145 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:14,800 you could see my heart rate spiking in correspondence with the game shows we were hosting on stage. 146 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:18,080 Yeah, something like that I think is more useful and you get it here. 147 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,980 What does that look like? We're never gonna know what that looks like 148 00:10:21,980 --> 00:10:25,840 because I'm not upgrading you guys. I'm not doing it. 149 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:30,280 For LTE, it's 400 US dollars. For non LTE, it's 350. 150 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,480 I might consider doing a little selfish upgrade 151 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:38,120 for the battery life. If it weren't for the fact that, 152 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:43,320 I'm gonna have to do a huge price cut because the thing is scuffed and there's no easy way to replace it. 153 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:47,320 So that's why I'm saying I'm stranded. I'm probably just gonna have to wear this thing to the ground because the knowledge 154 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:51,720 that it's just gonna be e-waste, if I don't, is too taxing on me. 155 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,880 And that's not changed on the new one. So if you don't want that to happen to you 156 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:59,040 two to three years from now, don't buy this. That stuff not with standing. 157 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:02,120 It seems like the watch they should have launched last year. 158 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:06,080 Although I'm not a power user. I really just, I need notifications on my wrist. 159 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:10,240 That's about it. And the sleep tracking is okay, but it's honestly not that accurate. 160 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,980 Sometimes it's like, you had a great sleep when I feel like poop. 161 00:11:13,980 --> 00:11:17,680 So like, probably should have just got like some kind of used last gen Samsung. 162 00:11:17,680 --> 00:11:21,480 But you gotta wear this thing and it's gotta look good. And I like the way these look. 163 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:26,520 Look at all the colors you can get. They're pretty cute. I think my wife saw this one when I got it. 164 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:30,620 It was like, oh, that's not that dumb. Maybe I could be seen in public with that. 165 00:11:30,620 --> 00:11:33,680 So that's worth something. So that's it guys. If you liked this video, 166 00:11:33,680 --> 00:11:38,580 why not watch another video where we cover watches? We just had some Apple watch videos, ultra videos, 167 00:11:38,580 --> 00:11:43,420 or the Pixel phone. It looks like this was smaller than the other non-pro from last year. 168 00:11:43,420 --> 00:11:46,560 I mean, I have a case on, but the screen is smaller. I'm gonna go back. 169 00:11:46,560 --> 00:11:47,700 I love small phones.
