Google Pixel Watch 2 with the Best of Fitbit and Google - Heart Rate Tracking, Stress Management, Safety Features - Android Smartwatch, Matte Black Aluminum Case, Obsidian Active Band - LTE (Renewed)

I have been in Tech for 45 years or so. Things have changed so quickly. I used to buy NEW TECH to be at the cutting edge of technology, but I don't feel I need to do that anymore. I purchased the Pixel Watch 2 LTE for less than $60 used in March of 2025. Here is why anything under $100 is a really good deal, here is why... 1. It's a cell phone. The cell phone plan for a watch is usually under $10. 2. Safety. You not only have a phone, but there are safety features for both the young and old, or in between. 3. GPS Location. You can find and/or be found by anyone whom you permit to find you. These are just 3 things; I am not even mentioning the health tracking (I only use the free features, which are good enough for me). Also, while it is a watch, it doesn't have to be on a watch band. It can be used as a pocket-type watch, which could be in a pocket or attached to a child's belt loop. There are so many different variations you can think of to use a phone/tracking device. THE ONLY CON: The only downside I find in ALL smartwatches is battery life. Obviously, the more information you track, the more battery you use. My Pixel 2 Watch LTE is two years old, and I can get two full days. I purchased a couple of off-brand chargers just lying around for when I need them. One for the car, my desk, at home. THE AMAZFIT WATCHES. These are also good watches, and great battery life. I had one that always lasted at least a week. I just wanted the functionality of a phone and tracking ability, so I picked the Pixel 2 LTE.

Better Than Expected – Like New Performance! I was a bit hesitant to buy the Pixel Watch 2 (Renewed), but I’m glad I did. The watch arrived in excellent condition — no visible scratches, clean band, and flawless display. It truly looks and feels brand new. Performance-wise, it runs super smooth. Google Assistant is fast and responsive, notifications come through instantly, and the integration with my Pixel phone is seamless. Fitbit tracking is accurate, and I love having features like heart rate monitoring, sleep tracking, and daily readiness scores all in one sleek package. Battery life has also been surprisingly solid, lasting me all day with always-on display turned off. Charging is quick too. If you’re on the fence about getting a renewed device, don’t be. This one exceeded expectations in every way. Great value for the price!

The Pixel Watch 2 is great, my only complaint was that it needs charged pretty much daily. It's not that much of an issue now that I bought a replacement charging cable, as the cable that came with this refurbished watch was terrible, and I'd need to babysit and fiddle with the charger for 2-4 hours daily just to get it to charge. Ever since I got a replacement, charging has been incredibly easy, didn't even need to get the $30 Google one, I got a 2 pack for $10)

Battery life and recharge time is a deal-breaker. Battery life fluctuates between 24 hours and 48 hours. I have not been able to tell what settings or activities cause the difference. Recharging time can be 15 minutes or over-night (8 hours). Again, nothing specific to identify the poor behavior. Why this matters: Hou are tethered (literally) to a proprietary charging cable - just another item to carry when travelling. No cable? The pixel will gladly record your 20,000-step Friday, then record zero for Saturday and Sunday - until you can recharge it for 8+ hours. And you cannot get reliable sleep metrics if the watch is on the charger. Overall, it gets an AVOID from me. When it dies, I will look elsewhere.

Bought this as a Christmas gift last year! It has all the functionality of the higher priced Pixel Watches and is still working great!

It is comfortable and so easy to use. The design is sleek. I'm able to track my health and sleep without issues. Works perfectly with my Google Pixel 10 pro xl. It is super durable as I bump it at work and playing with my kids.

The bad: The watch was in “B to B+” condition. The back of the watch (the sensor in the middle) is so scraped up, I wondered if it would still work. (It seems to work) So, let’s be clear. The ONLY way this watch is in “excellent” condition is if you don’t take it off to inspect it. For these reasons, I felt the seller was generous in calling it “excellent” and I would suggest any new buyers check their “excellent” condition watch very carefully! The band is almost certainly a 3rd party and the charger is DEFINITELY a 3rd party clunker. The charger magnet isn’t even strong enough to stay on the watch while charging. Other reviewers say it’s “flimsy.” Without a decent charging adapter, I would have been very frustrated. (I purchased one at the time I got the watch after reading reviews. The seller isn’t listening to customers in this regard.) The good: Battery life is solid once you replace the abysmal charging adapter to fix the connection. I got 2 full days with light use and light notifications. The watch face is without a scratch. That would have been a deal breaker but my watch’s face is clean. Connectivity is really good. I don’t think it has dropped connection with my pixel yet. Fit improved with a different band. The thick band it came with was uncomfortable for me. Looks were addressed in both good and bad. It just depends on the side you see. Finally, value for money. I could probably do as well or better shopping elsewhere since I had to replace the charging adapter and the band. I can’t say it’s a great value for the money based on the watch I got but it is functional. Check your watch carefully and be willing to return it.

El reloj hasta ahora ha funcionado muy bien, llegó justo lo que pedí sin fallas, solo un poco rallado en la parte posterior y el cargador no es el mejor, cuesta trabajo ponerlo a cargar pero de ahí en fuera super bien todo
