Smartwatches can be a very mixed bag, and Wear OS hasn’t quite hit the heights most of us would have hoped.

After a long wait since the official unveiling, the second-generation Pixel Stand 2nd Gen units are now finally arriving in the hands of early buyers. What’s in the box, and should you think about picking one up?
