Starting off with what’s new, it may look like a 1st gen Pixel Watch from the outside, largely because…well…it’s almost identical. There’s only a very slight change in the material composition itself, rather than the overall design of the unit. Here’s everything that’s new or different on the Pixel Watch 2 compared to the Pixel Watch 1:

– New 100% recycled aluminum housing
– Increased durability of cover glass
– Now 10% lighter (weight) due to new aluminum housing
– Increased battery life to “full 24 hours” in always-on display mode
– Pixel Watch 2 will now run WearOS 4 (Pixel Watch 1 received this update recently too)
– New 4-core CPU to increase performance
– Faster charge times: 12 hours of usage in 30 minutes of charge time
– Added Google Assistant on-watch ability to now query health/fitness stats
– Added watch backup and restore & phone transfer
– Added real-time safety check feature, alerting emergency contacts if you don’t check-in
– Adding medical ID to watch, allowing first responders to see medical info
– Adding 6 new styles of watch faces
– New heart rate sensor: Switched to new “multipath heart rate module design” with 5 photodiodes & 5 LEDs, plus better spacing/coverage
– New skin temperature sensor (upgrade over previous non-dedicated sensor method)
– New skin dermatological sensor added as well, allowing Fitbit Body response feature
– New on-watch zone pacing and heart rate features
– New automatic workout detection for 7 new workout/sport types
– Added background irregular heart rate notifications
– Changed charger design, to non-wireless
– Three colors offered, pricing is $349 for WiFi models, and $399 for cellular models
– Includes 6 months of Fitbit Premium
– Water 50m resistance stays the same, also compatible with existing watch bands

Instead, as you can see, most of the new changes here that are less visible externally are actually internal sensor changes. In particular, focused on the three new health sensors: new heart rate sensor, new skin temperature sensor, new skin dermatological sensor. The first of those three claims to increase heart rate accuracy significantly, while the other two add those readings/trends into the Fitbit app. Previously they did skin temperature sensing via basically proxy guessing, which wasn’t quite as accurate.
