When Google launched its second-generation smartwatch, the Pixel Watch 2, it was primarily in the news because of the unspectacular — almost meager — list of upgrades it had over its predecessor, from its specs to the design. Nevertheless, now that the Pixel Watch 2 has been around for a while, the product regularly finds mention among the best smartwatches currently on sale — it may not be innovative, but it’s still a great piece of hardware.
One advantage of the similar design is that the new model uses the same band connectors as the original first-generation watch. This means that it is compatible with the same bands as the original Pixel Watch, and so there’s a wealth of third-party band options. To make things even better, Google added newer band options to the mix soon after the Watch 2 was launched. We’ve sorted through the lot, and here are some standout Pixel Watch 2 bands you should be considering.
If you do not want zero compromises as far as quality goes, Spigen’s Lite Fit Band for the Pixel Watch 2 is an ideal option. Echoing the same durability and quality of the brand’s trusted phone cases, the Lite Fit band is made from durable nylon that sits comfortably against skin. However, for those seeking a versatile band that isn’t too expensive but offers a balanced mix of quality and affordability, the Polyjoy Nylon Band is a great choice. The nylon band offers comfort, stretchiness, durability, and easy maintenance. Plus, its vibrant colors add a touch of style to any outfit.
Google’s official Pixel Watch 2 bands offer great quality but are positioned at the higher end of the market. But if the added cost isn’t much of a bother, they make for great, high-quality options like the Two-Tone Leather Band. It is the top recommendation among Google’s in-house bands as it exudes a refined and sophisticated appearance. The band is crafted from exquisitely designed Italian leather and offered in multiple colors.
Lastly, if you just need a few basic bands for running errands or hitting the gym, you can’t beat RuenTech’s inexpensive pack of six Pixel Watch 2 bands. It is perhaps the most pocket-friendly product among the lot, offering six bands for the price of one.
Maybe if we start telling people the brain is an app they will start using it!
