This could be my new favorite Android smartwatch. Over the past few days, I've extensively and systematically tested the Pixel Watch 2 for its health and sports tracking capabilities. And I have to say that the Pixel Watch did not disappoint. And, dare I say it, it could even compete with the Apple Watch. Although maybe not completely, as I encountered some problems in the first few days. I conducted an initial test of the performance of heart rate tracking, sleep tracking accuracy, and GPS tracking. Let's get started!

Hello everyone, for those of you new to the channel, my name is Rob, and I am a postdoctoral scientist specializing in biological data analysis. As you may have noticed, I am not in my usual studio, but I am visiting my parents in the Netherlands and recording this video from my nursery. But back to the Pixel Watch 2. One of the key improvements to the Pixel Watch 2 over the first-generation Pixel Watch is its improved sensor set, which Google says now has more LEDs, delivering more accurate heart rate tracking than ever. previously, up to 40% more accurate for high-impact activities like HIIT, spinning and rowing. This is also partly thanks to a new AI heart rate algorithm. This is of course exactly what we want to put to the test. I tested this on myself during 3 indoor cycling sessions, 3 outdoor bike rides, 3 weightlifting sessions and 3 outdoor runs. In a future video I will also test the Pixel Watch 2 on Theresa, who is also wearing one now. Let's start with the Pixel Watch 2's performance for a relatively simple exercise, indoor cycling.
