Hey friend, Brandon here.
I know a lot of you have been asking for updates on the Google
pixel watch in my thoughts.
So let's talk about the Google pixel watch recently, there's been a new
leak about the Google pixel watch that came up from business insider.
But the reality is that it actually doesn't tell us too much.
That's new outside of a few points, but those few points
give us a lot to think about.
And it gives us an opportunity to look at existing devices, to get a
better idea of what to expect out of the Google pixel watch specifically
by looking at this awesome thing.
It's a Fitbit sense that best buy sent out to me, thanks to best buy for
sponsoring a portion of this video.
But here's what I can say.
If Google can pull off what these rumors and links show, I'm really
excited about what Google has in store.
So here's a quick summary of what we do know so far, and
then we'll dig a lot deeper.
First.
Most of this was originally revealed by John Prosser at
front page tech eight months ago.
He showed off some renders of the Google pixel watch based
upon marketing mock-up images.
And then recently he revealed the actual marketing mock-up images.
So we'll have some of those images throughout this video, but it's
important to keep in mind that these are at least eight months old.
And that means that the actual design may be a little bit different
than what we're seeing here.
First it's codenamed Ms.
Rojas, and while it's official name hasn't been solidified, the marketing
material mock-ups do show it as using the pixel watch branding in these images.
We see it has a more traditional round watch face with a bezel list designed.
This definitely looks funny.
But also presents a risk for greater fragility in potential shattered glass.
Like what will be seen on the Google pixel?
Six pros, curved edge screen.
I don't know anything.
Along the side, we see a fairly pronounced crown, which will be nice for
some tactility when we're interacting with it, but it also looks really big
and could possibly catch some things easily, but we'll have to find out
for sure when we get in hand, if it actually happens, what has been really
encouraging to hear is how they're putting a large emphasis on comfort.
For me, I find that a lot of smart watches and wearables are kind of uncomfortable,
which makes me not want to wear them.
There are some that don't bother me as much like the Fitbit sentence,
but other devices start feeling uncomfortable and irritate my skin really.
Since this prototype, Google pixel watch or whatever they call it
has been given out to a number of people I Google for testing.
The unfortunate point to hear is that people are getting maybe
a day of life out of it and it will require everyday charging.
So that's a bit of a letdown when some devices can last a couple of
days or multiple days like Fitbits.
Now what's especially exciting is that this uses the newest version of
where O S that was unveiled at the last Google IO and was developing
conjunction with Samsung nine to five.
Google has recently discovered a lot of the changes to.
Three its interface and its features what Chelsea off to the side here.
Now there are other smartwatch devices out there using whereas three and more
to come, but they don't really have the true experience of what you expect
out of a Google pixel or Google made device with the rumored Google pixel
watch Google is looking to go toe to toe with something like the apple watch.
And that means that they're going to go for.
Feature parodies like can native integration with the respect
of smart assistant, like the fantastic Google assistant.
I really want that.
And then typical smartwatch features like messaging notifications and calls,
but also health and fitness metrics that can monitor your heart rate,
count your steps and other types of health readings be here's the part
that is especially interesting to me.
Fitbit, you see Google acquired Fitbit at the beginning of 2021 for two points.
A billion dollars and then merge them into Google's existing wearables team.
According to the verge, Rick Ostrow senior vice-president of devices in services
told them that their goal is to integrate Fitbit into warehouse three internally.
This is referred to as project nightlight while not confirmed.
It is possible that we'll see this in the upcoming Google pixel watch.
And with nine to five Google's recent discovery in the.
Three emulator for developers.
They found a video file of 10 watch faces that seem to be for the upcoming Google
pixel watch, including one watch face that matches the renders and marketing
images that John Prosser released.
And this one has a Fitbit logo on it.
I'm very excited.
So, you know, if you're like me, you're probably wondering
what a Fitbit integration means for the Google pixel watch.
So I decided to find out for myself because I personally haven't used a Fitbit
until the Fitbit charge five that came up.
I bought it for myself when it first came out, because I wanted to find out
what Fitbit can bring to wireless three, as well as its strengths and benefits.
And I've used a Fitbit since the best buy has sent out to me for about a week now.
And I really loved the design of it.
It's really smooth and clean, looking into feel uncomfortable on my wrists,
which is seriously uncommon for me.
And on the back, you see that there's a ton of sensors here and that's to provide
all the measurements and data for all the health and fitness features that Fitbit
offers and are actually quite fantastic.
And hopefully that.
Going into, whereas three and into the Google pixel watch.
But what are the benefits?
First?
It has Google assistant natively built in which I think is crucial
for a good smartwatch, but the Fitbit sense also gives you the option to
use Alexa if you want to use that.
But one of the things that I really love is a sleep monitoring built into it, and
only reminds me that I need to go to bed, which I need to follow more, but it also
gives me a rating on how good my sleep is.
Based upon the length of time I was asleep, how restless I
was and how deep of a sleep.
It can even track how much I snore, which I didn't think I snored.
And I'm kind of annoyed by that.
It even measures how often I breathe per minute and the temperature
of my skin, which is wild and something I never thought of.
And of course, there's a lot of monitoring of your heart, heart rate variability
for things like the ECG feature and more, and of course it can track your workouts,
which I've been wanting to get back into.
Now that I've quit my full-time job to do YouTube and want
to get back into working out.
You know, I'm just adding a little bit of cushion right here.
I need to get.
He used to be in really great shape, but here's something that
is going to be a huge benefit.
The Fitbit ecosystem.
That means that there's already a robust community of people that are already
using Fitbit and he can compete and see how your friends and peers are doing
along with different categories or in smaller groups that you formed together.
And then there are your workouts that you can do nutrition and mindful tips
and other programs, challenges, and other things that you can check out and join.
That's a cool.
Fitbit and something that is huge to have integrated into a smartwatch,
a community and tons of resources that are already good to go.
The moment you buy one, that's a huge leap over the competition.
If you think about right now, the thing that fascinates me is that it
can measure your stress by combining your heart rate readings, when you're
awake and sleeping, how active you are, your workouts, nutrition, your
sleeping patterns in more actually think it's pretty crazy to have all of
that and all the data and something.
That's constantly measuring your body.
And for the sense, having a better life that can last six days or more is insane
in a smartwatch it's crazy convenient.
And honestly, something that you don't find in most smartwatches.
Now, if you want to check out the Fitbit ecosystem and purchase the Fitbit since
best buy has a deal going on right now, where he can get up to a hundred dollars
off a Fitbit, so you can save money on the model that works best for you.
You find out about that deal by clicking the link in the description.
So genuinely after using a Fitbit, it makes you really excited to see this
robust immature ecosystem platform.
Ready to go in a Google pixel watch.
So rumor state that it may come in the spring, but that depends on
whether or not the feedback from employees go well with a better life.
That sounds like it may not be the most amazing.
And with the importance and strategic benefit of Fitbit that needs to be
integrated and ready to go from the start, there is a reasonable possibility
that this may be delayed even though.
Of course, since we don't know for sure when the pixel watch has coming
out, a Fitbit has the technology in place to have you covered for
smartwatch for your health and fitness.
Now both the Fitbit cents and charge five are on sale right now at best buy.
So get it now before the sale ends on December 24th, but either way, I
think where our S3 will easily elevate Google to spot number two for smart.
All because of the Fitbit integration.
And that just makes me stoked, but I'd love to know what you think and what you
hope to see about the Google pixel watch.
What do you think about the Fitbit integrations into, whereas three?
I think it's going to add a lot that Google doesn't have to
work so hard on building it's already there, but let me know.
And the end of this is section eight community square chat server.
Here's a link in the description to join next to that link to get up to a
hundred dollars off Fitbits at best buy.
So thanks for watching this as tech today until next time.
