The Pixel Watch exceeded expectations — now it needs to be as good as Samsung - The Verge
Or will Google’s smartwatch ambitions end up abandoned yet again?
It looks like it requires a subscription. That'd be enough for a no from me.
Yeah, that is so stupid. Right now, I just export all my Fitbit data via health connect (ironically) to Google Fit. I get all of the "paid" insights on the Fitbit app there for free and it's a nicer interface that combined ALL of my data.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
If it doesn’t, it’s harder to turn a blind eye to known issues on a sophomore attempt, especially since there’s no reason it shouldn’t be able to improve battery life, expand health features, and deliver a better user experience.
Unlike Apple or Samsung, Google doesn’t have to revolutionize smartwatches to drum up excitement around the Pixel Watch 2.
Mobvoi had a decent shot with loyal TicWatch fans until it fumbled the transition to Wear OS 3.
Xiaomi is the latest to ditch a proprietary OS for the platform with its newly announced Watch 2 Pro.
So long as the Pixel Watch 2 doesn’t fall on its face, the pressure is on for Samsung to show everyone something they haven’t seen before.
A success won’t put Samsung down for the count, but it will make my job (and many others) of picking the best Android smartwatch a lot harder.
