WEBVTT 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 00:00:04.240 --> 00:00:09.920 scratched to heck, honestly, because I just didn't want to have a case on it, 00:00:08.080 --> 00:00:14.240 which honestly kind of makes me less likely to upgrade to this new watch 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 00:00:16.320 --> 00:00:21.359 have to do something like that because these watches are not repairable at all. 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 00:00:23.279 --> 00:00:29.039 landfill and I just can't sleep at night with that. The other problem for Google 00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:34.320 is that this on paper these specs are not that compelling to really com get me 00:00:32.480 --> 00:00:38.399 to upgrade. There's a little diagram here of how to take the watch band off 00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:42.800 of the face. There's a little quick start guide. I really like this paper 00:00:40.879 --> 00:00:45.840 packaging. It's all recyclable. That's cool. It doesn't make up for the fact 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, 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 00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:58.960 itself. Boom. This is the Chungus 45 mm 00:00:56.239 --> 00:01:03.359 version. New to the Pixel lineup is sizes. It is great that they have 00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:08.240 variety. I would still be using the small watch, 00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:11.840 but I think they're accessing a lot more people out of the population having this 00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:15.760 bigger offering because otherwise it just looks too dainty and tiny on a 00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:20.479 giant man's wrist. This is 40% more screen real estate than the smaller 00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:23.200 Pixel 2. But even the 41 mm has more screen real estate because the bezels 00:01:21.759 --> 00:01:27.360 are thinner. I'm hoping that I can compare the bezels of my one to this 00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:34.640 three once we get going here. And the final thing in the box is the charging 00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:36.720 dock, which is woo over 3 ft long. 00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:39.920 It has the same design as the Pixel 2's charger, which is different than the 00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:43.280 ones. Annoying that all three watches didn't have the same charger. I would 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 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 00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:54.079 to a Pixel 9. Okay, Fitbit. A couple comments. One of the most interesting 00:01:52.240 --> 00:01:57.439 things actually about this watch, and maybe this is uh speaking to how kind of 00:01:55.920 --> 00:02:02.079 lame this upgrade is, but one of the nice things, they've actually taken 00:01:59.920 --> 00:02:06.799 features out of the paywalled garden from Fitbit. Most notably, the readiness 00:02:04.960 --> 00:02:10.479 score on my watch. If you want to have your readiness score, which tells you 00:02:08.959 --> 00:02:13.360 like, hey, you're ready to hit the weights today or do a big workout 00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:17.520 because you got a good sleep and you're well recovered versus maybe take it easy 00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:23.120 today. that readiness score is behind the payw wall of the Fitbit premium app 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 00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:30.959 maybe just felt to compete with other watches, they had to do that. And they 00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:34.640 should because you should have access to all of the data that gets collected by 00:02:33.040 --> 00:02:38.879 the sensors on the watch. In my opinion, they still have paywalled stuff, but 00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:43.680 it's things that you would expect like classes and AI insights and stuff like 00:02:42.160 --> 00:02:46.480 that that personally I'm not going to use. Some other new stuff that is not 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 00:02:50.480 --> 00:02:56.400 long with this level of intensity and then I'm going to slow down and walk 00:02:54.560 --> 00:03:00.239 slower at this level for this many minutes. You can tailor your own 00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:03.599 workout, which is pretty cool. Again, I'm never doing this. I hate running. I 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 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 00:03:09.760 --> 00:03:15.040 talking about. Enhanced recovery by tracking sleep and stress. Couple of 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 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 00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:30.239 timer expires, then her live location is shared. So like, hey, she's supposed to 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 00:03:31.920 --> 00:03:36.239 cool. By the way, that's not just for parents. You can choose which of your 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 00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:45.519 far as watch specific apps, you've got the camera and Spotify already 00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:50.239 installed. And then for recommendations, number one, SoundCloud, baby. 00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:54.879 SoundCloud. Check out my band. Who's using SoundCloud? What particular order 00:03:52.640 --> 00:03:58.560 are these coming in at? If it really is random, then these guys, these more 00:03:56.879 --> 00:04:01.280 obscure kind of apps are definitely winning. All right, the watch is 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 00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:12.400 to our sponsor, Gamay, who is featuring their TK75 00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:16.560 Pro mechanical keyboard. It has all the features you'd expect, like a hot 00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:22.160 swappable PCB, multiple layers of foam, triode connectivity, and self-facing 00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:24.639 RGB. And that's not all. It's even got a 00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:28.960 volume control knob, highquality KTT Hasin linear switches, and a full 00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:34.240 aluminum chassis to help this board stand out from the crowd. The best part, 00:04:31.280 --> 00:04:39.040 it's under $100. Check it out using our link in the video description. If you 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 00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:46.720 because of slimmer bezels. But they love to hide these bezels with a black 00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:51.199 screen, don't they? Another big thing is screen brightness. Double the 00:04:48.479 --> 00:04:54.400 brightness. 2,000 nits peak on the new watch compared to the Pixel 2, which is 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 00:04:57.680 --> 00:05:02.560 that this is a Pixel 1, but that is a 00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:06.560 lot brighter. Even this watch will light up a dark room. So, combined with it 00:05:04.479 --> 00:05:10.320 being bigger, that is going to be a lot brighter. That's how thick the bezels 00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:15.199 are, they really don't look that much thinner than the Pixel ones even. So, I 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 00:05:17.440 --> 00:05:25.919 doesn't look materially bigger. For ingress protection, this is IP68 00:05:22.400 --> 00:05:28.800 rated up to 50 m. That's 5 atmospheres 00:05:25.919 --> 00:05:33.280 deep. That is really deep you guys. That is beyond the basic diving 00:05:30.479 --> 00:05:38.560 certification. You need advanced diving certifications to go that deep. 50 50 m 00:05:36.400 --> 00:05:41.680 is deep. So that is really impressive. They say you can swim in the ocean with 00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:44.800 this thing. Salt water, whatever. Wear it in the shower, you're good to go. You 00:05:43.520 --> 00:05:49.039 don't have to think about it. And that is what I expect from basically any 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 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 00:05:55.360 --> 00:06:00.400 anything there. It's snappy enough. You're not mining. You're not 00:05:58.880 --> 00:06:04.160 cryptomining on this thing. But there are some cool new features including 00:06:02.320 --> 00:06:08.400 maybe an underrated one called morning briefing. It basically just it knows the 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 00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:14.639 stats like this is how well you slept. This is what the weather's like today. 00:06:13.039 --> 00:06:19.520 And this is what's on your calendar. Pretty cool. You can't really tailor 00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:22.479 what comes in that morning briefing, but it does try to act with some 00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:26.400 intelligence and give you, you know, novel information. In terms of controls, 00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:31.520 you can control your phone's camera from the watch, which is useful, but not new. 00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:35.280 You can control your Google TV. It's basically your remote. You can control 00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:37.680 the volume, next episode, all that stuff from here, which is very cool, 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 00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:46.240 could be anywhere. And you can use this as like a viewfinder for your Nest 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 00:06:48.400 --> 00:06:53.840 watch and you can you can not only see them, you can even talk to them. 00:06:51.680 --> 00:06:58.720 Although I will say that I hate using this thing uh on speaker phone and 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 00:07:01.280 --> 00:07:07.520 you know what? This thing doesn't look outlandishly large on my wrist like a 00:07:05.520 --> 00:07:11.280 Apple Watch Ultra does. I could honestly rock that. I'm talking you with my hands 00:07:09.599 --> 00:07:14.639 on steering wheel kind of position. So, the watch face is not oriented toward my 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 00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:22.560 regular phone. I'm speaking at a volume that is normal 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 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 00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:37.280 sound further away or a bit quieter. You sound like dog poop, man. You were 00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:39.280 like a really compressed little man at 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 00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:47.520 all like this or if mine got smashed, but this is junk. The battery life claim 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. 00:07:50.479 --> 00:07:57.280 It does kind of suck to have to charge your watch every day. That said, 00:07:54.720 --> 00:08:02.400 charging is 20% faster this time around and the charging speed is such that it's 00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:05.919 kind of solved. You basically never really have to charge this for longer 00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:10.000 than a half hour if you get the smaller size. The larger watch has a larger 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 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 00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:20.960 charging it every day, you only really have to plug these things in for about a 00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:23.840 half hour, 45 minutes. That's basically your morning routine. Go have a take it 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 00:08:26.479 --> 00:08:31.919 come back, it's already charged. Really not a nuisance. I personally am a 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 00:08:34.880 --> 00:08:42.159 should you upgrade? pricing 350 bucks for the smaller one, an additional 50 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 00:08:44.080 --> 00:08:51.120 it's an additional $100 on either model. Against competitors in the market, the 00:08:48.560 --> 00:08:55.680 Apple Watch starts at 50 bucks more than where the Pixel Watch 3 starts. And the 00:08:53.120 --> 00:08:59.360 Samsung Galaxy series, they start at 50 bucks less. So, it's kind of in the 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 00:09:02.800 --> 00:09:09.760 Pixel Watch 2 is being discounted by a 100 bucks. So maybe you should just go 00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:14.720 get one of those for 250. Or if you're a Pixel 1 user like me, 00:09:12.560 --> 00:09:19.440 you can just keep on using it because honestly, I don't think the differences 00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:23.920 are that big. Maybe you like the new colors that you can see here. There's 00:09:21.760 --> 00:09:28.160 different watch face colors and band colors. You do not get to choose which 00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:32.399 band goes with which face, but of course you can buy aftermarket or different 00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:36.240 colors of bands separately. My overall feelings about this product is that it's 00:09:34.080 --> 00:09:38.959 it's great that Google is, you know, pushing the ball forward every year. I 00:09:37.920 --> 00:09:42.240 don't think it's compelling enough to upgrade from even the first iteration. 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 00:09:45.120 --> 00:09:52.240 point in in unless you make calls from the watch a lot cuz damn, that sucked. 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 00:09:54.560 --> 00:10:01.440 years old, let us know in the comments. and check out our other watch videos 00:09:58.560 --> 00:10:05.200 like Lion's recent coverage of the OnePlus watch that I think he's still 00:10:03.040 --> 00:10:05.200 wearing.
