If you are in the market for a new pair of TWS that looks cool and has strong noise cancellation, or an uber-sleek-looking smartwatch, then you will want to check out the new Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 and the Google Pixel Watch 3. These wearable gadgets, being from Google, are not any old wearables; they are your new personal assistants, safety monitors, and sound enhancers, all rolled into sleek, futuristic designs.
Pixel Buds Pro 2
The Pixel Buds Pro 2 delivers a stunning auditory experience powered by the Tensor A1 chip. This isn’t just any upgrade; it’s Google’s first custom chip for earbuds, doubling the strength of noise cancellation compared to its predecessors.
Imagine walking through a noisy city, and all you hear is your favorite song, crystal clear, thanks to the ultra-responsive noise cancellation that adapts 3 million times per second. But it’s not just about blocking out the world; it’s about enjoying a perfectly immersive sound, separated from the noise cancellation, for a deeper, more accurate audio experience.
Google didn’t just stop at sound. The Pixel Buds Pro 2 was redesigned with comfort in mind. They’re smaller and lighter, with a twist-to-adjust stabilizer that keeps them secure during your most intense workouts. Need to chat with someone?
With Conversation Detection, your buds automatically switch off noise cancellation when you start speaking, so you never have to awkwardly remove them mid-conversation.
And let’s talk about Gemini, the AI that lives in your Pixel Buds Pro 2. With just a voice command, Gemini helps you navigate, remember appointments, or even practice for an upcoming interview. It’s like having a smart assistant in your ear, always ready to help — even when your phone is locked. Plus, with colors like Porcelain, Hazel, Peony, and Wintergreen, your Pixel Buds Pro 2 aren’t just functional; they’re fashion-forward too.
Pixel Watch 3
Now, the Pixel Watch 3. Google has made this smartwatch not just a fitness tracker, but a guardian of your health. Its standout feature is Loss of Pulse Detection, a potentially life-saving innovation that can detect when your pulse stops and automatically call emergency services if you’re unresponsive.
If you are ever alone and need help — your watch has got your back, checking in with you first before sounding an alarm and reaching out to emergency responders.
This feature isn’t a quick add-on; it’s the result of working with cardiologists and testing in clinical settings to ensure it functions effectively in real-world emergencies. The Pixel Watch 3 is part of a broader mission to keep you safe, joining features like Fall Detection, Car Crash Detection, and Safety Check.
The Pixel Watch 3 is Google’s latest smartwatch, packed with stunning features and a sleek design. Available in 41mm and the new 45mm size, it boasts an ultra-bright Actua display at 2,000 nits for perfect outdoor visibility and dims down to 1 nit in dark settings. The all-day battery life lasts up to 36 hours, with fast charging to keep you going.
Fitness enthusiasts will love the Daily Readiness, Cardio Load, and Target Load features for personalized training insights. The Workout Builder customizes your runs, providing real-time feedback and post-run form analysis to help improve performance. Oh, did we mention, the Pixel Watch finally has two sizes? It is available in 41 mm and 45 mm.
