Google’s Pixel family of devices is set to welcome its newest members this fall, with the Pixel 8 and 8 Pro leading the charge as the primary new members. As always, however, it’s not just the new phones that are worth some of your attention as the rumors of the new Pixel Watch 2 have […]

More details leak for the Pixel Watch 2, including UWB support
Google’s first Pixel Watch may have had a few shortcomings, but it gave them a stellar launch pad for future iterations. In just a couple months, Google is prepping to unveil the Pixel Watch 2; and though we won’t know all the details until its actual launch sometime in October, there are some new details […]
Continue ReadingWhat to expect from Google’s new Fitbit app: coming this fall
Google has just announced a completely revamped Fitbit app scheduled for launch later this fall. The new app will offer a comprehensive, personalized perspective on health and wellness, focusing on the metrics most important to the individual using it. In the lead up to the actual release, Fitbit has invited a select group of users […]
Continue ReadingNew leak reveals Pixel Watch 2 exclusive watch faces
With the first Pixel Watch, the general consensus is that Google did a great job for a first-gen product. The watch is beautiful and – for me, at least – the seamless and user-friendly UI is something I miss on a daily basis now that I’m on a Galaxy Watch 5. As Google tends to […]
Continue ReadingPixel Watch and Pixel Buds Pro reach their lowest-ever prices for Prime Day
OK, so I have to address the elephant in the room for this one. Yesterday, I pointed to the fact that – for Chromebooks, at least – Best Buy’s Black Friday in July sales are better than what we’re seeing over at Amazon. For Chromebooks, this means the difference in taking advantage of great deals […]
Continue ReadingGoogle may soon launch a Wear OS Beta Program for your Pixel Watch
During this year’s I/O conference, Google announced the upcoming release of Wear OS 4 for the Pixel Watch and other smartwatches. As the launch date draws nearer, Google may soon introduce a ‘Wear OS Beta Program’ to provide you with the opportunity to maximize your device’s potential before updates are rolled out to the general […]
Continue Reading“Watch” your Inbox! Google is sending out $100 discounts on the Pixel Watch
Earlier this week, we shared a deal on the Pixel Watch that can save our friends in the UK a serious chunk of change on Google’s first WearOS device. That sale is still happening and buyers on the other side of the pond stand to score as much as 29% off the Pixel Watch when […]
Continue ReadingGoogle added some great new features for Pixel Watch in the latest Pixel Feature Drop
As the Pixel family of devices continues to grow, Pixel Feature Drops get larger and larger. With this latest update, there are some helpful new items for Pixel phones, but some of the more notable additions this time around come to the Pixel Watch. From oxygen levels to heartbeats to paused workouts, some core, missing […]
Continue ReadingJust like that, the Pixel Watch SpO2 sensor is being enabled for some users
One of the more curious omissions from the launch of the Pixel Watch last year was the lack of blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) tracking. It wasn’t odd that they didn’t have it as a feature, per se; it was odd that the tools to measure it are on the Pixel Watch and Google simply wasn’t […]
Continue ReadingGet the Pixel Watch for up to $70 off right now
Even in its first iteration, Google did some impressive stuff with the Pixel Watch. From the look of the device to the performance and smoothness of the UI, there’s a lot to enjoy about Google’s first watch even 8 months after it was launched. And yes, we all know a Pixel Watch 2 is likely […]
Continue ReadingNew Pixel Watch 2 leaks: better processor, better battery, and more sensors
It’s funny how we went from basically no details whatsoever on the Pixel Watch 2 to now getting a better picture of it by the week. The first set of leaks – and this new set, too – come to us via 9to5 Google’s internal sources, and if history is an indicator, those sources have […]
Continue Reading3 upgrades I’d love to see in the Pixel Watch 2 when it inevitably arrives
The story of the Pixel Watch 2 has been an interesting one thus far. Ahead of Google I/O 2023, we had mountains of leaks for devices like the Pixel Fold, Pixel Tablet and Pixel 7a. On the Pixel Watch front, however, there was a shocking amount of silence for a Google-made product. While we weren’t […]
Continue ReadingI’m shocked there was no mention of the rumored Pixel Watch 2 at Google I/O
It wasn’t more than a week or so ago that we discussed the Pixel Watch on the podcast in the lead-up to Google I/O 2023. Specifically, the discussion circled around the fact that up to that point, we’d not heard a peep from anyone about a follow-up to the successful Pixel Watch. For most big […]
Continue ReadingFinally, WhatsApp is on the way for WearOS watches like the Pixel Watch
Of all the aggravations that I have with any smartwatch I’ve used, the lacking presence of WhatsApp on my wrist is chief among my complaints. Yes, I can get WhatsApp notifications on WearOS as long as my phone is near, but the minute Bluetooth is off or my phone isn’t within range, those notifications are […]
Continue ReadingRumor has it: The Pixel Watch 2 will arrive with the Pixel 8
It’s almost as if we spoke it into existence. On this week’s episode of The Chrome Cast, Robby brought up the point that we have heard zero chatter about a follow-up to Google’s first generation Pixel Watch. Our hope is that Google is quietly reiterating the Pixel Watch in preparation for a Gen 2 release […]
