1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,400
I've been rocking my Pixel Watch One for two years since they came out. It's

2
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:09,920
scratched to heck, honestly, because I just didn't want to have a case on it,

3
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:14,240
which honestly kind of makes me less likely to upgrade to this new watch

4
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:17,600
because I don't think anyone's going to buy my old scratched up one. And I would

5
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:21,359
have to do something like that because these watches are not repairable at all.

6
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:24,720
So, if I can't get someone else to use this or buy it, it's going in the

7
00:00:23,279 --> 00:00:29,039
landfill and I just can't sleep at night with that. The other problem for Google

8
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:34,320
is that this on paper these specs are not that compelling to really com get me

9
00:00:32,480 --> 00:00:38,399
to upgrade. There's a little diagram here of how to take the watch band off

10
00:00:36,399 --> 00:00:42,800
of the face. There's a little quick start guide. I really like this paper

11
00:00:40,879 --> 00:00:45,840
packaging. It's all recyclable. That's cool. It doesn't make up for the fact

12
00:00:44,399 --> 00:00:50,399
that you can't repair the watch. There are two sizes of bands in the box. So,

13
00:00:48,399 --> 00:00:56,239
you get one of that side and then two of this side. And then finally, the watch

14
00:00:52,399 --> 00:00:58,960
itself. Boom. This is the Chungus 45 mm

15
00:00:56,239 --> 00:01:03,359
version. New to the Pixel lineup is sizes. It is great that they have

16
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:08,240
variety. I would still be using the small watch,

17
00:01:05,519 --> 00:01:11,840
but I think they're accessing a lot more people out of the population having this

18
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:15,760
bigger offering because otherwise it just looks too dainty and tiny on a

19
00:01:13,439 --> 00:01:20,479
giant man's wrist. This is 40% more screen real estate than the smaller

20
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:23,200
Pixel 2. But even the 41 mm has more screen real estate because the bezels

21
00:01:21,759 --> 00:01:27,360
are thinner. I'm hoping that I can compare the bezels of my one to this

22
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:34,640
three once we get going here. And the final thing in the box is the charging

23
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:36,720
dock, which is woo over 3 ft long.

24
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:39,920
It has the same design as the Pixel 2's charger, which is different than the

25
00:01:38,159 --> 00:01:43,280
ones. Annoying that all three watches didn't have the same charger. I would

26
00:01:41,759 --> 00:01:46,479
love to have an extra charger, but even if I buy this watch, I'll only have one

27
00:01:44,799 --> 00:01:50,399
cuz I won't be able to use my Pixel 1's charger. Let's get this thing paired up

28
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:54,079
to a Pixel 9. Okay, Fitbit. A couple comments. One of the most interesting

29
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:57,439
things actually about this watch, and maybe this is uh speaking to how kind of

30
00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:02,079
lame this upgrade is, but one of the nice things, they've actually taken

31
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:06,799
features out of the paywalled garden from Fitbit. Most notably, the readiness

32
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:10,479
score on my watch. If you want to have your readiness score, which tells you

33
00:02:08,959 --> 00:02:13,360
like, hey, you're ready to hit the weights today or do a big workout

34
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:17,520
because you got a good sleep and you're well recovered versus maybe take it easy

35
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:23,120
today. that readiness score is behind the payw wall of the Fitbit premium app

36
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:26,879
for my watch. On this one, it is not. And that is awesome. I I think they

37
00:02:24,879 --> 00:02:30,959
maybe just felt to compete with other watches, they had to do that. And they

38
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:34,640
should because you should have access to all of the data that gets collected by

39
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:38,879
the sensors on the watch. In my opinion, they still have paywalled stuff, but

40
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:43,680
it's things that you would expect like classes and AI insights and stuff like

41
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:46,480
that that personally I'm not going to use. Some other new stuff that is not

42
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:52,720
paywalled is what's being described here. You can make custom workouts for yourself, such as I want to run this

43
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:56,400
long with this level of intensity and then I'm going to slow down and walk

44
00:02:54,560 --> 00:03:00,239
slower at this level for this many minutes. You can tailor your own

45
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:03,599
workout, which is pretty cool. Again, I'm never doing this. I hate running. I

46
00:03:02,159 --> 00:03:07,920
hate running long distance, that's for sure. I'm going to sprint if anything, and then I just go by how much sweat I

47
00:03:06,640 --> 00:03:11,680
have, and I don't need a watch to tell me I'm out of breath. That's what I'm

48
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:15,040
talking about. Enhanced recovery by tracking sleep and stress. Couple of

49
00:03:13,599 --> 00:03:21,920
safety features being touted here. The one that I think is the most notable is safety check where you go, okay, my

50
00:03:18,959 --> 00:03:26,640
daughter's going out for a 25minut run. Uh, so it sets a timer and when that

51
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:30,239
timer expires, then her live location is shared. So like, hey, she's supposed to

52
00:03:27,920 --> 00:03:33,360
be back now by now. Where is she? I can check that out. That's that's pretty

53
00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:36,239
cool. By the way, that's not just for parents. You can choose which of your

54
00:03:34,959 --> 00:03:41,680
contacts you want to share that live location with. It could be for your partner or your roommate, whoever. As

55
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:45,519
far as watch specific apps, you've got the camera and Spotify already

56
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:50,239
installed. And then for recommendations, number one, SoundCloud, baby.

57
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:54,879
SoundCloud. Check out my band. Who's using SoundCloud? What particular order

58
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:58,560
are these coming in at? If it really is random, then these guys, these more

59
00:03:56,879 --> 00:04:01,280
obscure kind of apps are definitely winning. All right, the watch is

60
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:06,640
starting up. And this sweater is beautiful, but way too hot for right now. And so, oh my god, we need to talk

61
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:12,400
to our sponsor, Gamay, who is featuring their TK75

62
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:16,560
Pro mechanical keyboard. It has all the features you'd expect, like a hot

63
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:22,160
swappable PCB, multiple layers of foam, triode connectivity, and self-facing

64
00:04:18,959 --> 00:04:24,639
RGB. And that's not all. It's even got a

65
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:28,960
volume control knob, highquality KTT Hasin linear switches, and a full

66
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:34,240
aluminum chassis to help this board stand out from the crowd. The best part,

67
00:04:31,280 --> 00:04:39,040
it's under $100. Check it out using our link in the video description. If you

68
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:43,520
buy the 41 mm today, it'll still be 10% bigger in screen size than the Pixel 2

69
00:04:41,199 --> 00:04:46,720
because of slimmer bezels. But they love to hide these bezels with a black

70
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:51,199
screen, don't they? Another big thing is screen brightness. Double the

71
00:04:48,479 --> 00:04:54,400
brightness. 2,000 nits peak on the new watch compared to the Pixel 2, which is

72
00:04:53,120 --> 00:05:00,800
going to be great when you're outside on a sunny day if you live in a place that actually ever gets sun. Yeah, I can see

73
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:02,560
that this is a Pixel 1, but that is a

74
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:06,560
lot brighter. Even this watch will light up a dark room. So, combined with it

75
00:05:04,479 --> 00:05:10,320
being bigger, that is going to be a lot brighter. That's how thick the bezels

76
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:15,199
are, they really don't look that much thinner than the Pixel ones even. So, I

77
00:05:12,639 --> 00:05:19,759
guess that's 10% because it's a circle and it's on the outer rim, but it

78
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:25,919
doesn't look materially bigger. For ingress protection, this is IP68

79
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:28,800
rated up to 50 m. That's 5 atmospheres

80
00:05:25,919 --> 00:05:33,280
deep. That is really deep you guys. That is beyond the basic diving

81
00:05:30,479 --> 00:05:38,560
certification. You need advanced diving certifications to go that deep. 50 50 m

82
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:41,680
is deep. So that is really impressive. They say you can swim in the ocean with

83
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:44,800
this thing. Salt water, whatever. Wear it in the shower, you're good to go. You

84
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:49,039
don't have to think about it. And that is what I expect from basically any

85
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:52,000
smartwatch. I there's no way I'm taking my watch off to go in the shower. Tell

86
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:57,759
you that. Probably has the same chip as on the Pixel Watch 2. No new SoC or

87
00:05:55,360 --> 00:06:00,400
anything there. It's snappy enough. You're not mining. You're not

88
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:04,160
cryptomining on this thing. But there are some cool new features including

89
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:08,400
maybe an underrated one called morning briefing. It basically just it knows the

90
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:11,600
first time you look at your watch in the morning. And it just gives you some key

91
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,639
stats like this is how well you slept. This is what the weather's like today.

92
00:06:13,039 --> 00:06:19,520
And this is what's on your calendar. Pretty cool. You can't really tailor

93
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:22,479
what comes in that morning briefing, but it does try to act with some

94
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:26,400
intelligence and give you, you know, novel information. In terms of controls,

95
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:31,520
you can control your phone's camera from the watch, which is useful, but not new.

96
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:35,280
You can control your Google TV. It's basically your remote. You can control

97
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:37,680
the volume, next episode, all that stuff from here, which is very cool,

98
00:06:36,479 --> 00:06:42,319
especially if you lose your remote a lot, which I do. My couch just has so many cracks between the cushions. It

99
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:46,240
could be anywhere. And you can use this as like a viewfinder for your Nest

100
00:06:44,639 --> 00:06:50,080
camera. So somebody rings your doorbell, you're washing the dishes, your hands are all soapy, you just look at your

101
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:53,840
watch and you can you can not only see them, you can even talk to them.

102
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:58,720
Although I will say that I hate using this thing uh on speaker phone and

103
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:03,440
talking through it. It's very quiet. And um sounds bad. You're on my wrist. And

104
00:07:01,280 --> 00:07:07,520
you know what? This thing doesn't look outlandishly large on my wrist like a

105
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:11,280
Apple Watch Ultra does. I could honestly rock that. I'm talking you with my hands

106
00:07:09,599 --> 00:07:14,639
on steering wheel kind of position. So, the watch face is not oriented toward my

107
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:18,080
mouth anymore. How does that sound? It sounds pretty good. Sounds like you're just on speaker phone on a

108
00:07:17,199 --> 00:07:22,560
regular phone. I'm speaking at a volume that is normal

109
00:07:20,479 --> 00:07:26,160
for me. Maybe abnormal for some. I'm not really quite sure. You never can be sure, can you? All

110
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:31,039
right. I think it's loud enough. I'm going to hang up on you now. Yeah, it's like a little fuzzy. Uh, you

111
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:37,280
sound further away or a bit quieter. You sound like dog poop, man. You were

112
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:39,280
like a really compressed little man at

113
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:43,440
in the bottom of a can. Yeah. I don't know if this is a Pixel one is they're

114
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:47,520
all like this or if mine got smashed, but this is junk. The battery life claim

115
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:52,720
is the same as for last year's which is 24 hours with the always on display on.

116
00:07:50,479 --> 00:07:57,280
It does kind of suck to have to charge your watch every day. That said,

117
00:07:54,720 --> 00:08:02,400
charging is 20% faster this time around and the charging speed is such that it's

118
00:07:59,759 --> 00:08:05,919
kind of solved. You basically never really have to charge this for longer

119
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:10,000
than a half hour if you get the smaller size. The larger watch has a larger

120
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:14,479
battery and you know you might want to charge it for about 45 to 50 minutes to

121
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:17,599
get 80% of the battery. But if you don't run it down to zero because you're

122
00:08:15,759 --> 00:08:20,960
charging it every day, you only really have to plug these things in for about a

123
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:23,840
half hour, 45 minutes. That's basically your morning routine. Go have a take it

124
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:28,479
off when you go have a shower. You know what? Take it off, brush your teeth, you

125
00:08:26,479 --> 00:08:31,919
come back, it's already charged. Really not a nuisance. I personally am a

126
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:37,120
morning charger person because I like to wear it at night and get that sleep tracking info. Should you buy one or

127
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:42,159
should you upgrade? pricing 350 bucks for the smaller one, an additional 50

128
00:08:39,599 --> 00:08:47,040
bucks for the big one. If you want LTE to have a SIM card in this puppy, then

129
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:51,120
it's an additional $100 on either model. Against competitors in the market, the

130
00:08:48,560 --> 00:08:55,680
Apple Watch starts at 50 bucks more than where the Pixel Watch 3 starts. And the

131
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:59,360
Samsung Galaxy series, they start at 50 bucks less. So, it's kind of in the

132
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:04,560
middle. One thing to note, though, is this is launching at the same price that the Pixel 2 launched at last year. The

133
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:09,760
Pixel Watch 2 is being discounted by a 100 bucks. So maybe you should just go

134
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:14,720
get one of those for 250. Or if you're a Pixel 1 user like me,

135
00:09:12,560 --> 00:09:19,440
you can just keep on using it because honestly, I don't think the differences

136
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:23,920
are that big. Maybe you like the new colors that you can see here. There's

137
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:28,160
different watch face colors and band colors. You do not get to choose which

138
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:32,399
band goes with which face, but of course you can buy aftermarket or different

139
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:36,240
colors of bands separately. My overall feelings about this product is that it's

140
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:38,959
it's great that Google is, you know, pushing the ball forward every year. I

141
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:42,240
don't think it's compelling enough to upgrade from even the first iteration.

142
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:47,279
I'm glad that we're making these incremental improvements, but they are so incremental that there's really no

143
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:52,240
point in in unless you make calls from the watch a lot cuz damn, that sucked.

144
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:56,640
If you guys think I'm wrong and you would upgrade from a watch that's even 2

145
00:09:54,560 --> 00:10:01,440
years old, let us know in the comments. and check out our other watch videos

146
00:09:58,560 --> 00:10:05,200
like Lion's recent coverage of the OnePlus watch that I think he's still

147
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,200
wearing.
