  Health Insights on Google Pixel Watch 2

  All-New Heart Rate Sensor

  Pixel Watch 2 has three new sensors to give you deeper insights into your health. Working alongside Google’s improved AI heart rate algorithm, an all-new heart rate sensor with numerous LEDs produces a more accurate heart rate reading than ever. It’s up to 40% more precise for vigorous activities like HIIT, spinning, and rowing. This means you will also get more accurate readings for other essential health metrics — from calories burned and Active Zone Minutes to Daily Readiness Score and sleep.

  The New Continuous Electrodermal Activity (Ceda) Sensor

The new sensor can point to possible signs of stress using a machine learning algorithm incorporating heart rate, heart rate variability, and skin temperature.

  When the algorithm picks up on physical indicators of positive and negative stress, including excitement, the Body Response feature will send you a notification. It will then prompt you to reflect on how you feel or take action to reduce your stress, like guided breathing or a mindfulness session. Reflecting on these moments may help you identify patterns to anticipate potential stress and plan.

  Skin Temperature Sensor/ skin conductance

  Google Assistant

  You can get other important health and fitness information using just your voice.
