Interesting comparison…. still glad I chose the S2 over the Pixel,I’ll see if you change my mind over the next vids,though I think you won’t…. Too fiddly,too inconsistent,lousy battery life.
Yah, I turned off all automatic screen on options. So I have to press crown to view. I put it on the charger, I get a chime, then 10 seconds later when the screen go's off I get a second chime.
I am happy to be an unpaid "BETA Tester" for the Google Pixel Watch. I am giving Google another week to release an update and then it will be returned for it has been far too frustrating to wear.
More strange things for the Pixel today… either the Google Watch app or the Pixel Watch itself kept turning on the AOD feature even though I disabled it last night when the battery was nearly dead. Was this the fault of the Dev or the Google QA Team?
While there are some things that I really like about the pixel watch, it was put back in the mail today to be returned. I am encouraged however for the next iteration! For now however I am sticking with my Venu 2 Plus.
I am wearing the Amazfit Falcon today on my left, and the Garmin Venu 2 Plus on my right. I have yet to decide if further testing is needed on the Google Pixel Watch. I did take it off and have not missed it over the last six hours.
After 11 years of Fitbits with my last being my Sense, I waited years for that Pixel. I was excited. When I went to see it and did the research it was a bust in every way. I was done. I bought a Galaxy Watch 5 Pro and no looking back. I love love my 5 Pro. I don't miss fitbit at all. Loved the iterations over the years but I was ready for a grown up smart watch and that pixel was not it. I love Samsung health. I have a Samsung flagship phone so that makes it seem less along with my TV and budss.
What a lovely comment, thank you, ExposeRoot. I loaned my Fitbit Sense 2.0 to my neighbor to help me test it. All in all, yeah, the Google Pixel Watch version 1.0 was a HUGE, ginormous letdown. Google chose the wrong processor, the wrong battery capacity, and failed to integrate Fitbit. I am SO glad I returned mine and don't feel guilty about returning it. I buy watches to keep and if they are horrible, yeah, I return them. If they are worth my time, yeah, I'll keep them like I did with the Fitbit Sense 2.0, the Amazfit Falcon, and the list goes on. As for the Samsung Galaxy Watch5 Pro, yeah, I just got mine back the other week after loaning it to a friend to wear & test, Stefano. He's been on the channel with me many times. The Watch5 Pro is a terrific timepiece, smart, fantastic battery life, and I love the sapphire screen. I miss the bezel 200% and hope they bring it back for the Watch6 later in 2023. Have you tried the snore detection feature of the Galaxy Watch5? I don't snore and Samsung gave me proof😁
When a Fitbit smartwatch is connected to an Android smartphone, yep... there are more possibilities and different features available. I loaned my Sense 2.0 Fitbit to a friend. I'll ask them about the text messages.
I would be interested in the heart health features, ECG, Rate, Oxygen, Sleep info. I currently have the Galaxy 4, everything works except the ECG as my phone is a Pixel 7 Pro. Samsung health is free, I see google will charge for the features, does Garmin charge? Great info in the video and keep up the good work..
Comprehensive video but I would have liked to see both interact with an Android phone as that's what the majority of pixel watch buyers are going to own.
Thank you. Fitbit device owners are pretty evenly balanced when it comes to connecting their healthy wearable to either an Apple iPhone or some Google Android OS smartphone. That being said, yeah, I won't mind reshooting the video. I have my Fitbit Sense 2.0 paired with a OnePlus 9 Pro smartphone running Android 13 and yes, Fitbit gadgets often pair more nicely with an Android over Apple. Alas, I disliked the Google Pixel Watch too much and didn't keep it in my gadget-filled life...
I just got my fitbit Sense 2, and I will never buy another Google Product. Their are two types of Google customers, those that have gotten burned and those that will be.
I understand your point of view ALL to well. Shortly after purchasing my Fitbit Sense 2.0 they dropped the price by $100.00 USD, what the heck! I was just outside of my return window and Fitbit would not give me any discounts - bummer... Back in 2018 I was able to attend C.E.S. in Las Vegas and searched for the Fitbit company folks. I found them and I was so jazzed about meeting the Fitbit Organization for the first time and then it happened - rejected! The employees were not only rude, but also didn't even want to talk to a geek with over 30,000,000 Fitbit steps logged. I stopped wearing Fitbit gadgets for over a month after that happened in protest. As for the Fitbit Sense 2, it is a good wearable with above average quality/accuracy; however, for a company that specializes in health wearables, yes, they should have released something better than the 2020 technology.
After using fitbits for 7 years, i just got the pixel 2 watch. I like its additional functionality but am relearning the fitbit interface. The only issue I have so far is i lose 250 or so steps daily between the pixel and my phone app.
You are losing 250 steps between the app and the watch? Does this mean your watch reads 10,000 at the end of the day, yet the app reads 9,750 steps? And congratulations 👏 on seven years, dang!
@PeterHerget yes on the loss of steps. I've used several of the Fitbits, but Google is migrating the smartwatch option to the Pixel. Otherwise, I would have stayed. Happily, I bought a Pixel 2 on Amazon (Prime days) for $170, which is less than a Versa or Sense would have cost. Keep up the great work on your channel!
Quite strange about the loss of steps. For one reason or another my Garmin Enduro 3 is off by thousands of steps when compared to the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra. For example, yesterday and the day before I wore the Garmin on my right and the Ultra on my left: 1. Samsung Galaxy, $560 10/16, 19,462 10/17, 11,282 10/18, 3,205 2. Garmin Enduro 3, $899 10/16, 14,853 10/17, 7,887 10/18, 3,727
I am liking the Ultrahuman Ring Air very much for it more comfortable to wear than the ŌURA Rings. 1. ŌURA Ring 2.0 and I've worn it for nearly two years straight (left ring finger) 2. ŌURA Ring 3.0 silver - worn on my right thumb and has been worn by me for 1.5 years 3. ŌURA Ring 3.0 slate - right middle finger or left index (nearly two-years old) 4. Circular Ring (replaced by the Ultrahuman Ring for my Circular Ring stopped working and had Bluetooth connection issues) 5. Ultrahuman Ring - I wear it on my left index and will soon reach the two-week mark.
My rings have changed a bit over the last year, and change... 1. Amazfit Helio (left index) 2. Ultrahuman Ring Air (right index) 3. Circul Ring (right ring) 4. ŌURA Ring 3.0 (right thumb) 5. Samsung Galaxy Ring (left ring)
I love being your first comment. Your videos are great. Thank you for wearing two watches!😄
And huge THANK YOU for being such an awesome fan of my silly videos. And yes, Family is now a proper noun.
Interesting comparison…. still glad I chose the S2 over the Pixel,I’ll see if you change my mind over the next vids,though I think you won’t…. Too fiddly,too inconsistent,lousy battery life.
I would recommend the following instead of the Google Pixel Watch:
1. Samsung Galaxy Watch4 Classic
2. Garmin Venu 2 Plus
You can send responses on the fitbit but only on android
Yep, that is correct for Apple won't allow Fitbit to use their proprietary iMessage protocols yet.
I'm still keeping my Fitbit Sense. The battery-life keeps me loyal to it.
An excellent choice! I have big hopes for the Google Pixel Watch version 2.0
@@PeterHerget Me too
@@PeterHerget Yes! I hope it is a bit larger and a bit bitter integrated with the Fitbit ecosystem. Waiting (im)patiently for it...
I recommend ditching the Fitbit ecosystem and transition over to COROS, Amazfit, or Garmin.
The charger will ring twice when charging once showing it's charging and once when the screen goes dark.
Your Google Pixel Watch does that consistently?
Yah, I turned off all automatic screen on options. So I have to press crown to view. I put it on the charger, I get a chime, then 10 seconds later when the screen go's off I get a second chime.
@@rauli2780 And how about today, any further charging woes?
Seems like the goggle pixel watch wasn’t ready for prime time

You love your 12 hour battery life too on your galaxy?
@@Phleemflam Yes, and now I am rocking the Galaxy Ring and the battery life is truly 7 to 8 days, wow!
A bit disappointed the Sense 2 can't at least reply to messages. Not sure if that will be a deal-breaker for me (mine arrives tomorrow).
I don't like to give disappointing news 🗞️ Are you going to connect your Fitbit Sense 2.0 tracker to an Android or an Apple smartphone?
@@PeterHerget Android

It's the plug not the watch, I had the same problem and when I changed the socket it worked amazing
Good to know, thank you, Yanni :)

Am i better off wirh a sense two do you think
Yep, no need whatsoever to upgrade.
My views have changed, take a look at the COROS Pace 3 on Amazon...

@PeterHerget it's like they say: Give a man a watch, and he knows what time it is. Give him two, and he's not sure.
Yes and well said.
Why so many rings are they smart
Yes, in fact, today, I am wearing four smart rings - three ŌURA Rings and one Ultrahuman Ring Air.
