Pixel Watch vs the competition
If you’ve ever owned a smartwatch, especially one released in the last few years, you probably know specs are (more or less) irrelevant. They’re definitely not as important as what certain smartphones hide under their hood, as a processor can often make or break an Android handset and even an iPhone.
Wearable devices instead primarily live or die on the overall user experience they deliver, as well as their utility factor, and for many prospective buyers, their battery life.
Speaking of Galaxy Watches, it’s definitely worth pointing out that the Pixel Watch will apparently “borrow” the Exynos 9110 chipset from Samsung’s OG 2018 version, which doesn’t sound awfully encouraging from a raw power and general system fluidity perspective.
The 2GB RAM count is certainly a promising sign, trumping the 1.5 gigs of memory packed by the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro powerhouse, and with an undoubtedly advanced built-in heart rate monitor and ECG tracking also on deck, it sure sounds like the Pixel Watch will be able to more or less match its primary competitors on the health field.
