Sadly, Google hasn’t nailed it in every department, with unpredictable battery life, restrictions when it comes to charging and, most odd of all, lacking proper automatic workout detection despite featuring Fitbit-powered tracking.
More than that though, it’s packed with loads of great tech and works brilliantly thanks to the combination of the intuitive Wear OS 3 software, a digital crown, and a dazzling screen.įitness tracking is handled by Fitbit, which also makes this the best smartwatch right now for anyone who wants to keep their data in the Fitbit family, as it’s comfortably better than Fitbit’s own Sense 2 and Versa 4, which weren’t good enough to feature in this chart. Not only does it look and feel great, with its own personality, but it’s also compact, light, and comfortable too. And given that more vehicles are coming equipped with the same capability, it’s not clear how many of us even need it.One of the biggest draws of the first official Pixel Watch is its beautiful design. Crash detection inevitably will save some lives by sensing wrecks and summoning help when people can’t.īut like built-in airbags, most of us will never see the feature in action. There is one notable industry first in the Series 8, and that’s crash detection. The Series 8 uses the temperature sensors, by the way, to help home in on your sleep stages. Others have been tracking sleep stages for a few years, and it’s so nice that Apple’s doing it now as well.
The other is sleep stage tracking, which is a far better gauge of sleep quality than logging how long you stayed in bed and how much you moved during the night.
The sensors are being used to deliver more precise ovulation tracking and forecasting for those who ovulate. The first is a pair of temperature sensors, one on each side to help pinpoint skin temp variations by weeding out environmental influences. There are a couple of capabilities that are new to Apple, if not to wearables.
