Intro:
Over the last 3 days I have extensively tested the new Google Pixel Watch for its sports and health tracking performance. In this video we will take a detailed look at the heart rate accuracy, sleep tracking performance, GPS tracking, and step counting accuracy of this newly developed watch from Google. I’ll also compare the performance of the Pixel Watch to that of another brand new Google owned smartwatch, the Fitbit Sense 2. If you want to know more about the specs of the new Google Pixel Watch, there are plenty of resources out there, like Google’s website. Therefore, in this video I will focus on unbiased performance testing of the Pixel Watch. So, without further ado, let’s get to the test results, and I want to start off with the heart rate tracking results. In total I tested the Google Pixel Watch during a total of 12 training sessions.
Looking at the Pixel Watch from a sports and health tracking perspective, it feels like it is still lagging behind the competition quite substantially. If we compare it to the Apple Watch, arguably it’s main competitor, the Pixel Watch performs worse in basically all categories based on my testing. The Pixel Watch really feels like a first attempt to me, and I hope Google will learn a lot from creating this watch, and that the second version will be significantly better. I can honestly not really recommend it to most people, given the hefty price tag, and all the better competitors out there. If you are on iOS, I would recommend the Apple Watch SE as the best value for most people. On Android, Huawei Watches are the best for heart rate tracking, and if you do want to focus on sleep tracking, just get a cheap Fitbit Device, which will have the same performance as this Pixel Watch. Therefore, overall, I can only give the Pixel Watch: 3 out

Bro thank you for your reviews. These test under real conditions and how the data is shown and compared to the competitors is just great. That are the kind of reviews I wish were out there for all things.
-
You are essential, amazing, and class leading; you've set a the bar so high. I can only hope that as your channel continues to grow it will inspire/pressure larger outlets to improve the quality of their own coverage
-
It's really sad to see how most people don't focus on the actual data accuracy in these devices when it's the most important feature in a wearable. Thanks for shedding a light on it.
-
Oh noo, right when I'm about to go to sleep. Need to see this one
-
Would love to see an updated version of this now that most of the bugs are worked out
-

Best review channel ever. Been following since your early days, and always rely on your videos before making purchases!
-
outstanding work! this is super helpful. really appreciate it. subscribed. the data for all models combined in one place is really excellent - this may be the only place this type of analysis exists.
-
Yooooo I’ve been waiting for this. Thanks for all of the hard work!
-
First time I stumbled upon your channel, awesome work! I've already ordered a Pixel Watch, expecting that there will probably be some quirks in the first gen, but I hadn't found this level of detail in any other reviews I've read/watched. You effor is much appreciated, subscribed.
-
It's a decent first entry for Google. I hope they catch up to Apple as they are the clear frontrunner. However, Google is notorious for using software to solve their hardware problems. I wonder if more long term use will generate more accurate results as Google loves their algorithms.
-
You are one of the few ppls i instantly subscribe, no talking shit, straight to the point, all the infos. Good job!
-
I really appreciate this videos and the effort you put on them. I’m looking for my first fitness tracker and this helps a lot. Hope you can fully review the Fitbit Inspire 3 soon
-
it's really good to have someone go through everything and not just giving his opinions but also giving unbiased data!
-
Dude I'm so excited to watch this video, you are so thorough and detail-orientated I'm curious to see how my Pixel watch is going to actually turn out,
-
So cool! Thank you tons, was waiting for this video!
-
I just wanted to thank you for your excellent testing videos. Also, thanks for the upcoming thorough test of the Fitbit Sense 2. I did purchase this watch to replace my Versa 3, and though I enjoy using it, I understand it has limitations. I was a bit disappointed to see that the new Pixel watch outperformed the Sense 2 in your initial tests, but I look forward to a more comprehensive review!
-
Love your reviews, thanks for making them!
-
Excellent excellent videos!!! Thank you for doing these!! I recently purchased the Ticwatch pro 3 ultra. The day after I received it I came across your video on it and after watching it I packed it up and returned it. Keep up the great work!!!
