Sporting a 3D curved always-on display, the Pixel Watch 2 comes with a pixel density of 320ppi, peak brightness level of 1000 nits, and a custom Corning Gorilla Glass 5 on the display.

The Pixel Watch 2 packs a 306mAh battery, which is claimed to offer a battery life of up to 24 hours with always-on display. Compared to the original Pixel Watch, that debuted with wireless charging support, the new Pixel Watch 2 gets rid of this and opts for contact pins instead. A USB Type-C charging cable is included in the box and it features four contact pins.

A built-in mic and speaker, a digital crown with haptic feedback, and a side button are carried over from the original Pixel Watch. The Pixel Watch 2 is available in a Wi-Fi and an LTE model. Both variants get Bluetooth 5.0, Wi-Fi, GPS, and NFC connectivity. It also has 5 ATM water resistance. Google claims that the body of the watch, weighing 31 grams, is made out of 100 percent recycled aluminum. The bands arrive with fluoroelastomer and soft-touch coating.
