When deciding between the Google Pixel Watch vs. the Fitbit Sense 2, it really comes down to what you’re hoping to get out of your purchase. While the Google Pixel Watch has a lot of unique features, it's designed to function as a basic smartwatch, while the Fitbit Sense 2 is more health-oriented.

The Fitbit Sense 2 has advanced sensors, such as stress monitoring, a built in ECG, and heart rate monitoring, which has been tested and verified to work. While the Google Pixel Watch has some health tracking capabilities, as the Google Pixel Watch is a first-generation product, its health tracking sensors haven’t been tested as thoroughly as the Fitbit’s. Ultimately, if you’re purchasing a smartwatch specifically for its health and fitness tracking features, the Fitbit Sense 2 is going to be the superior choice.

Another benefit of the Fitbit Sense 2 is that it’s compatible with both Android and Apple operating systems. If you’re an Apple loyalist, the Fitbit Sense 2 is probably a better option if you’re interested in integrating your smartwatch with your other devices.

Although opting for the Fitbit Sense 2 has some obvious benefits, the Google Pixel Watch has some perks too. For example, one of the best features of the Google Pixel Watch is its voice assistant feature, which is rumored to be even better than Siri.

Finally, if you’re looking for a smartwatch that’s “smart”, the Google Pixel Watch is probably the superior option. Between the Google Home integration options, LTE connectivity, and other smart features, the Google Pixel Watch is an all around better smartwatch, with the exception of the health tracking features.

Final thoughts

So, what’s the verdict between the Google Pixel Watch vs. the Fitbit Sense 2? It really depends on what matters most to you. If you’re purchasing a smartwatch mainly for the health benefits, you can’t go wrong with the Fitbit Sense 2. However, if you’re interested in other unique features, the Google Pixel Watch really holds its own, especially when it comes to voice assistant capability and smart home functionality.

Regardless of which smartwatch option you choose, be sure to think about product protection. When you subscribe to Mulberry Unlimited, you can protect your new smartwatch from accidental damage and other incidents for an affordable monthly price, and you can even cover your other online purchases too.
