WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.920 I've been rocking my Pixel Watch 1 for two years since they came out. 00:00:03.920 --> 00:00:07.920 It's scratched to heck, honestly, because I just didn't want to have a case on it, 00:00:07.920 --> 00:00:12.880 which honestly kind of makes me less likely to upgrade to this new watch, 00:00:12.880 --> 00:00:19.680 because I don't think anyone's going to buy my old scratched up one. And I would have to do something like that because these watches are not repairable at all. 00:00:19.680 --> 00:00:25.040 So if I can't get someone else to use this or buy it, it's going in the landfill and I just can't sleep at night with that. 00:00:25.040 --> 00:00:30.000 The other problem for Google is that on paper, these specs are not that compelling 00:00:30.720 --> 00:00:36.320 to really get me to upgrade. There's a little diagram here of how to take the watch band off 00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:41.200 of the face. There's a little quick start guide. I really like this paper packaging. 00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:45.520 It's all recyclable. That's cool. It doesn't make up for the fact that you can't repair the watch. 00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:50.960 There are two sizes of bands in the box. So you get one of that side and then two of this side. 00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:57.040 And then finally, the watch itself. Boom. This is the chungus 45 millimeter version 00:00:57.040 --> 00:01:04.320 new to the pixel lineup is sizes. It is great that they have variety. I would still be using 00:01:04.320 --> 00:01:09.680 the small watch, but I think they're accessing a lot more people out of the population having this 00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:14.240 bigger offering because otherwise it just looks too dainty and tiny on a giant man's wrist. 00:01:14.240 --> 00:01:19.920 This is 40% more screen real estate than the smaller pixel two. But even the 41 millimeter 00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:23.520 has more screen real estate because the bezels are thinner. I'm hoping that I can compare the 00:01:23.520 --> 00:01:29.760 bezels of my one to this three once we get going here. And the final thing in the box is the charging 00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:37.040 dock, which is over three feet long. It has the same design as the pixel twos charger, 00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:41.280 which is different than the ones annoying that all three watches didn't have the same charger. 00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:44.880 I would love to have an extra charger, but even if I buy this watch, I'll only have one because 00:01:44.880 --> 00:01:48.800 I won't be able to use my pixel ones charger. Let's get this thing paired up to a pixel nine. 00:01:48.800 --> 00:01:53.200 Okay, Fitbit, a couple of comments. One of the most interesting things actually 00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:57.200 about this watch, or maybe this is speaking to how kind of lame this upgrade is, but one of the 00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:04.080 nice things they've actually taken features out of the paywall garden from Fitbit, most notably 00:02:04.080 --> 00:02:09.040 the readiness score on my watch. If you want to have your readiness score, which tells you like, 00:02:09.040 --> 00:02:13.040 Hey, you're ready to hit the weights today or do a big workout because you got a good sleep and 00:02:13.040 --> 00:02:18.160 you're well recovered versus maybe take it easy today. That readiness score is behind the paywall 00:02:18.160 --> 00:02:24.800 of the Fitbit premium app for my watch on this one. It is not. And that is awesome. I think they 00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:29.760 maybe just felt to compete with other watches. They had to do that. And they should because you 00:02:29.760 --> 00:02:33.920 should have access to all of the data that gets collected by the sensors on the watch, 00:02:33.920 --> 00:02:39.600 in my opinion, they still have paywall stuff, but it's things that you would expect like classes 00:02:39.600 --> 00:02:44.240 and AI insights and stuff like that, that personally, I'm not going to use some other 00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:47.680 new stuff that is not paywall is what's being described here. You can make custom workouts 00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:53.280 for yourself such as I want to run this long with this level of intensity. And then I'm going to 00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:58.320 slow down and walk slower at this level for this many minutes. You can tailor your own workout, 00:02:58.320 --> 00:03:03.120 which is pretty cool. Again, I'm never doing this. I hate running. I hate running long distance. 00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:06.800 That's for sure. I'm going to sprint if anything. And then I just go by how much sweat I have. And 00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:11.200 I don't need a watch to tell me I'm out of breath. That's what I'm talking about. Enhanced recovery 00:03:11.200 --> 00:03:15.440 by tracking sleep and stress. A couple of safety features being touted here. The one that I think 00:03:15.440 --> 00:03:21.120 is the most notable is safety check where you go, okay, my daughter's going out for a 25 minute run. 00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:27.280 So it sets a timer and when that timer expires, then her live location is shared. So like, hey, 00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:31.760 you're supposed to be back now. By now, where is she? I can check that out. That's, that's pretty 00:03:31.760 --> 00:03:35.440 cool. By the way, that's not just for parents. You can choose which of your contacts you want to 00:03:35.440 --> 00:03:40.880 share that live location with for your partner or your roommate, whoever. As far as watch specific 00:03:40.880 --> 00:03:45.680 apps, you've got the camera and Spotify already installed. And then for recommendations, number 00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:52.640 one, SoundCloud, baby. SoundCloud, check out my band. Who's using SoundCloud? What particular order 00:03:52.640 --> 00:03:57.920 are these coming in? If it really is random, then these guys, these more obscure kind of apps are 00:03:57.920 --> 00:04:03.040 definitely winning. If you buy the 41 millimeter today, it'll still be 10% bigger in screen size 00:04:03.040 --> 00:04:08.560 than the pixel two because of slimmer bezels, but they love to hide these bezels with a black screen, 00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:14.320 don't they? Another big thing is screen brightness. Double the brightness, 2000 nits peak on the new 00:04:14.320 --> 00:04:18.160 watch compared to the pixel two, which is going to be great when you're outside on a sunny day, 00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:22.320 if you live in a place that actually ever gets sun. Yeah, I can see that this is a pixel one, but 00:04:23.280 --> 00:04:28.320 that is a lot brighter. Even this watch will light up a dark room. So combined with it being bigger, 00:04:28.320 --> 00:04:32.960 that is going to be a lot brighter. That's how thick the bezels are. They really don't look 00:04:32.960 --> 00:04:38.880 that much thinner than pixel ones even. So I guess that's 10% because it's a circle and it's on the 00:04:38.880 --> 00:04:46.640 outer rim, but it doesn't look materially bigger. For Ingress Protection, this is IP68 rated up to 00:04:46.640 --> 00:04:53.200 50 meters. That's five atmospheres deep. That is really deep, you guys. That is beyond the basic 00:04:53.200 --> 00:05:00.160 diving certification. You need advanced diving certifications to go that deep. 50 meters is deep. 00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:04.240 So that is really impressive. They say you can swim in the ocean with this thing, salt water, 00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:08.000 whatever, wear it in the shower. You're good to go. You don't have to think about it. And that is 00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:12.800 what I expect from basically any smart watch. There's no way I'm taking my watch off to go in 00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:18.400 the shower. I'll tell you that. Puppy has the same chip as in the pixel watch too. No new SOC or 00:05:18.400 --> 00:05:23.120 anything there. It's snappy enough. You're not mining. You're not crypto mining on this thing. 00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:27.920 But there are some cool new features, including maybe an underrated one called morning briefing. 00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:31.920 It basically just, it knows the first time you look at your watch in the morning, 00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:35.440 and it just gives you some key stats like this is how well you slept, this is what the weather's 00:05:35.440 --> 00:05:41.040 like today, and this is what's on your calendar. Pretty cool. You can't really tailor what comes 00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:45.600 in that morning briefing, but it does try to act with some intelligence and give you, you know, 00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:50.160 novel information. In terms of controls, you can control your phone's camera from the watch, 00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:55.600 which is useful, but not new. You can control your Google TV. It's basically your remote. You can 00:05:55.600 --> 00:06:00.080 control the volume next episode, all that stuff from here, which is very cool, especially if you 00:06:00.080 --> 00:06:03.760 lose your remote a lot, which I do. My couch just has so many cracks between the cushions. 00:06:03.760 --> 00:06:08.480 It could be anywhere. And you can use this as like a viewfinder for your Nest camera. So somebody 00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:11.760 rings your doorbell. You're washing the dishes. Your hands are all soapy. Just look at your watch, 00:06:11.760 --> 00:06:16.640 and you can, you can not only see them, you can even talk to them. Although I will say that I hate 00:06:16.640 --> 00:06:23.120 using this thing on speakerphone and talking through it. It's very quiet and sounds bad. 00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:28.240 You're on my wrist. And you know what? This thing doesn't look outlandishly large on my wrist, 00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:32.960 like an Apple Watch Ultra does. I could honestly rock that. I'm talking to you with my hands on 00:06:32.960 --> 00:06:36.880 steering wheel kind of position. So the watch face is not oriented toward my mouth anymore. 00:06:36.880 --> 00:06:39.920 How does that sound? It sounds pretty good. Sounds like you're just on speakerphone, 00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:45.360 on a regular phone. I'm speaking at a volume that is normal for me. Maybe abnormal for some. 00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:49.280 I'm not really quite sure. You never can be sure, can you? All right. I think it's loud enough. I'm 00:06:49.280 --> 00:06:59.920 gonna hang up on you now. You sound like dog poop, man. You are like a really compressed little 00:06:59.920 --> 00:07:04.880 man in the bottom of a can. Yeah, I don't know if this is a Pixel 1. Is they're all like this or 00:07:04.880 --> 00:07:10.160 if mine got smashed, but this is junk. The battery life claim is the same as for lashes, 00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:16.320 which is 24 hours with the always on display on. It does kind of suck to have to charge your watch 00:07:16.400 --> 00:07:22.560 every day. That said, charging is 20% faster this time around. And the charging speed is such that 00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:28.160 it's kind of solved. You basically never really have to charge this for longer than a half hour 00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:33.120 if you get the smaller size. The larger watch has a larger battery. And you know, you might want to 00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:38.560 charge it for more 45 to 50 minutes to get 80% of the battery. But if you don't run it down to zero 00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:41.840 because you're charging it every day, you only really have to plug these things in for about a 00:07:41.840 --> 00:07:46.080 half hour, 45 minutes. That's basically your morning routine. Go have a shower, take it off 00:07:46.080 --> 00:07:50.400 when you go have a shower. You know what? Take it off, brush your teeth, you come back, it's already 00:07:50.400 --> 00:07:55.280 charged. Really not a nuisance. I personally am a morning charger person because I like to wear it 00:07:55.280 --> 00:07:59.840 at night and get that sleep tracking info. Should you buy one or should you upgrade the pricing 350 00:07:59.840 --> 00:08:06.000 bucks for the smaller one, an additional 50 bucks for the big one. If you want LTE to have a SIM card 00:08:06.000 --> 00:08:11.440 in this puppy, then it's an additional $100 on either model. Against competitors in the market, 00:08:11.440 --> 00:08:17.040 the Apple Watch starts at 50 bucks more than where the Pixel Watch 3 starts. And the Samsung Galaxy 00:08:17.040 --> 00:08:22.640 series, they start at 50 bucks less. So it's kind of in the middle. One thing to note though is this 00:08:22.640 --> 00:08:26.880 is launching at the same price that the Pixel 2 launched at last year. The Pixel Watch 2 is being 00:08:26.880 --> 00:08:32.800 discounted by a hundred bucks. So maybe you should just go get one of those for 250. Or if you're a 00:08:32.800 --> 00:08:40.480 Pixel 1 user like me, you can just keep on using it because honestly, I don't think the differences 00:08:40.560 --> 00:08:46.160 are that big. Maybe you like the new colors that you can see here. There's different watch face 00:08:46.160 --> 00:08:51.280 colors and band colors. You do not get to choose which band goes with which face. But of course, 00:08:51.280 --> 00:08:56.160 you can buy aftermarket or different colors of bands separately. My overall feelings about this 00:08:56.160 --> 00:09:01.360 product is that it's great that Google is pushing the ball forward every year. I don't think it's 00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:05.360 compelling enough to upgrade from even the first iteration. I'm glad that we're making these 00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:09.360 incremental improvements, but they are so incremental that there's really no point in it. 00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:15.040 Unless you make calls from the watch a lot because damn, that sucked. If you guys think I'm wrong 00:09:15.040 --> 00:09:20.000 and you would upgrade from a watch that's even two years old, let us know in the comments and 00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:25.920 check out our other watch videos like Linus's recent coverage of the OnePlus watch that I think he's 00:09:25.920 --> 00:09:26.800 still wearing.
