Tech Review – Pixel Watch Stretch Band

The all new Pixel Watch comes with several types of bands to chose from which is a good start, you of course get a band with the watch but you can pick from several others there with various materials and price points, the choice is yours, We have the Pixel Watch Stretch Band and it has to be said it is pretty comfortable to wear as I have for a few days.

It is a simple operation to change out the bands after you fiddle around with it and like any other band replacing it will get easier but first time a bit of a pain however that is just me and now it is on and all is good, you will need to be careful picking your wrist size so do check what is available on any given bands you might look at and measure your wrist beforehand, I have the Xtra large one which worked well for me.

One thing to add is do not do this over a table or a solid surface as the watch face is rounded and may get scratched and hopefully there will be some kind of accessory soon to avoid this happening, we will look into more bands down the road so stay tuned for more things Pixel on techbuzzireland and of course Youtube

Google Pixel Watch – First look and impressions

Google have launched their first official watch which is of course smart and the same applies to the watch as did the phone and any tech we do not do leaks for clicks we wait for the product to be in our hands for assessment and the day has come us to check it out.

I have many smartwatches here as our readers know and a fan for several reasons, it keeps you off your phone more you can do things from the watch if required to do so and get on without the need to take your phone out of your pocket and this was a conversation I had with Nokia mobile here in Dublin last week with some of their feature phones and the same applies to a watch whereby it is less distracting and you can chose to ignore or reply to emails and social etc which is also good for the mental health I think..

Now with this offering from Google it appears to be a fitness orientated watch on top of being smart at the same time and as we know they bought fitbit and fitbit did not cut it offering more for the user but was heavy on the fitness end of things and was more a product for people into fitness but with not much other functionality which I understand, different strokes for different folks and all that but this has changed somewhat.

Again there has been commentary on this watch which I chose to ignore and make my own assessments and so far it has been more so on the bad side, again form folks who typically pick on Google and do not have the product in hand and snuff the idea of its existence which is fine don’t get me wrong but it is down to the hands on experience after all and what the product does isn’t it?
