Google asks Pixel Watch 2 owners about their ideal battery life

Google is out with a Pixel Watch 2 feedback survey (sent to some owners via email) to help improve the product with a pair of interesting questions about battery life.

The first question Google asks is how likely you are to recommend it to a friend or family member on a 1-10 scale and “why” with an open text field.

Google then wants to know what smartwatches and fitness trackers you’ve previously owned — Apple Watch, Xiaomi (like Mi Band), Fitbit (Charge & Versa), Whoop, Pixel Watch (first generation), Huawei, Oura ring, Garmin (Forerunner), Samsung (Galaxy Watch), Fossil, or Halo by Amazon — and what smartphone you use. Google lists recent Pixel devices by family, Samsung Galaxy, iPhone, and “Other Android Phone” as options.

It's bad enough that the battery only lasts one day, but the watch really should be able to play an audible alarm when it's done charging so you remember to put it back on before leaving. This should also sync to the phone if desired. Why is this such a difficult request? Having the battery displayed on the phone is nice and all but is always missed and doesn't really help with the fact that I have to take it off every day to charge it. So it would be really cool if it made a noise or flashed and the phone could do it also. Genius!

The battery life section starts by asking “how often […] you get through a full day of battery,” which is defined as the “time you take your Pixel Watch 2 off the charger until you put it back on.” That’s paired with inquiring about “your expectations for how long your Pixel Watch 2 battery should last without having to recharge.” (Both questions are interesting, so we’ve replicated them.)

Google today targets 24 hours with the always-on display enabled. The 25-32 hours increment could be the team wondering if people want to be able to get a full night of sleep and then some usage in the morning, while over 32 hours is entering the multi-day territory.

Another question involves rating satisfaction (very dissatisfied to very satisfied) across various many areas: Quick view tiles, Google Assistant, Available Watch faces, Fitbit exercise tracking experience, Fitbit sleep tracking, Design / look & feel, Screen size, Fitbit heart rate tracking, Managing and interact with notifications, Software Stability, Syncing to Fitbit app, Battery life, Crowing scrolling, Ease of set-up out of the box, and Google Wallet. 

Finally, the survey wants to know if you got the Pixel Watch 2 for free or discounted when purchasing a Google phone.
