Last year, Google made a significant stride in the wearable tech space by launching its inaugural smartwatch, the Pixel Watch. It's now moving towards the release of its follow-up, the Pixel Watch 2, which is slated to hit the market in the upcoming months.

One of the highlights of the forthcoming Google Pixel Watch 2, according to a recent report by 9to5Google, is its significantly enhanced battery life compared to the previous model. This will allow wearers to keep the device on for extended periods without fearing the device's power depletion.

The report draws on information from insiders who suggest that the Pixel Watch 2 could potentially run for over a day, even with its always-on display activated. Additionally, enabling certain power-saving features might even extend the device's lifespan to approximately two days. This enhancement is especially noteworthy given the first Pixel Watch's struggle to last an entire day, particularly with the always-on display function turned off.

Several factors are contributing to the improved battery life of the new Google smartwatch. One of these factors is the integration of a new, more energy-efficient processor. The Pixel Watch 2 is rumored to be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon W5+ Gen 1 chip, reputed to be 20% more energy-efficient than the Snapdragon Wear 4100+ utilized in the first Pixel Watch. Another significant improvement is the inclusion of a larger capacity battery.

The new Pixel Watch 2 is also reportedly featuring a larger array of health sensors. This implies an expansion of health-related functionalities, adding more versatility to the device. Additionally, the Google Pixel Watch 2 is predicted to be the premier device running on Wear OS 4, Google's dedicated operating system for smartwatches. Though the exact release date remains a mystery, the device is forecasted to be launched officially in the fall of this year.
