Google
I/O
is
right
around
the
corner,
and
if
history
repeats
itself,
the
company
will
likely
use
its
annual
keynote
to
announce
new
software
features
across
all
of
its
various
platforms,
including
Android,
Chrome,
and
Search.
Google
also
sometimes
brings
a
surprise
device
announcement
to
the
party,
but
we
wouldn’t
bet
on
a
new
flagship
smartwatch
considering
the
Google
Pixel
Watch
2 was
only
released
in
October.
If
you’re
a
Pixel
fan
looking
to
upgrade,
the
flagship
Wear
OS
smartwatch
is
matching
the
lowest
price
we’ve
seen
with
Amazon,
Best
Buy,
and
Google
taking
it
down
to
$299.99
($50
off).
The
Pixel
Watch
2
is
our
favorite
smartwatch
for
Fitbit
fans,
easily
taking
the
crown
from
its
predecessor
by
adding
even
more
Fitbit-powered
health
features
and
Google
apps.
You’ll
get
automatic
workout
tracking,
Google
apps
like
Calendar
and
Gmail,
and
access
to
thousands
of
apps
with
Wear
OS
support
available
at
Google
Play.
With
luck,
we’ll
hear
about
new
Wear
OS
developments
and
features
at
the
aforementioned
developers
conference,
even
though
the
newest
version
is
still
making
its
way
to
supported
devices
nearly
a
year
after
it
was
announced.
(All
the
more
reason
to
go
for
a
Pixel
device
if
fast
updates
are
important
to
you.)
It’s
also
just
a
great
smartwatch
overall,
mostly
thanks
to
better
battery
life
that
can
last
all
day
and
that
charges
up
to
50
percent
capacity
in
about
30
minutes.
What’s
also
great
is
that
you
don’t
need
to
own
a
Google
Pixel
phone
to
get
the
most
from
the
smartwatch.
Unlike
Samsung’s
watches,
which
require
a
Samsung
phone
to
use
the
best
features,
most
Pixel
Watch
2
features
are
available
to
all
Android
users.
That’s
why
the
Wear
OS
4 wearable
is
also
our top
Android
smartwatch
for
non-Samsung
users.
The
new
Google
Pixel
Watch
2
now
achieves
a
reliable
24
hours
on
a
single
charge
with
the
always-on
display
enabled.
It
sports
a
new
processor,
multipath
health
sensor,
Wear
OS
4,
and
new
safety
features
—
all
around
a
substantial
update.
