Where to buy the
Google Pixel Watch at the best price?
A discreet tap
The Pixel Watch opts for the round format of watches and a 41 mm case only. A second larger model would not have been refused, but people with larger wrists will have to be content with it. It also has the advantage of being discreet and sober, in particular thanks to the glass of its screen which extends to the edges of the case. And, with its proprietary bracelet attachment system, the tocante gives the possibility of customizing the aesthetic appearance according to our desires (sport or leather bracelet).
On the front, we discover an AMOLED panel with a definition of 450 x 450 pixels and a density of 320 pixels per inch (ppi). The quality is there and the brightness is high enough to use it without any problem outdoors in direct sunlight. Moreover, its brightness sensor will automatically adjust the brightness according to the ambient lighting, in addition to the manual adjustment on three levels offered natively by the watch. There is also an Always-On mode.
Pleasant to use, but with some concessions
To power the watch, Google has chosen to integrate an Exynos 9110 chip, the same as that of the first Galaxy Watch in 2018. A fairly dated chip, but which nevertheless manages to deliver a fluid experience under WearOS, which we navigate through the menus or load an application. It is of course equipped with many sensors to measure your data related to your health or your sports training. On the other hand, we were able to observe during our test that the Spo2 is not accessible and the heart rate monitoring proved to be less reliable at a high heart rate. The watch makes up for it by offering accurate GPS tracking, an effective EKG, and works with 41 different sports.
Since its launch, the Mountain View company has been updating its wearable to fix bugs and even add some features for the user. The manufacturer recently added the fall detection function to its wearable. Finally, the Pixel Watch is around 24 hours of autonomy and can go up to 26 or 27 hours in the best case. It will therefore be necessary to expect to recharge it every day, especially since during the night, even with the screen off, the autonomy drops by almost 40%. This is all the more a concern if you want to analyze your sleep. Finally, the watch will fully recharge from 0 to 100% in 1h18.
