• New heart rate sensory: Pixel Watch 2 will be equipped with Fitbit’s multi-channel heart rate sensor, which is claimed to provide more accurate and reliable heart rate measurement even during intense exercise.
• Health functions: Pixel Watch 2 will also use Fitbit’s stress management system, which tracks body reactions to detect stress in the user’s body. In such cases, the user will be asked to record their current mood and will be offered intervention options such as breathing exercises, walking or something else. Google will use data from the EDA sensor (continuous electrodermal activity along with heart rate and respiratory rate) to detect stress.
• Fitness functionsPixel Watch 2 recognizes the seven most common types of exercise, including outdoor running and cycling. It will also send automatic reminders about the start and end of workouts. Another fitness feature is Speed ​​Training, which will track your speed.
• Security features: Google has updated the security features on Pixel Watch 2. “Safety Checkup” will allow users to schedule a timer for specific situations. When the timer runs out, the watch will ask users to confirm they are okay, if they want to start sharing their location or contact emergency services. In case of no response, the “Emergency Switchboard” function will be activated, which will transmit data about the location and situation to emergency services in real time. Emergency Sharing can also be used with individual contacts to report your location in real time. This feature can also enable medical information to be shared with emergency services.
• Battery life: Pixel Watch 2 will provide 24 hours of battery life with its screen always on. It is also claimed to charge for a full day in just 75 minutes.
