    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Wojciechowska also posted other leaks, including one published by 91mobiles with a promotional video that confirms previously rumored details about the Watch 2.

    The original Pixel Watch starts at $349.99 for the non-cellular version, making the Pixel 8 Pro effectively a $650 phone with this deal, assuming the 8 Pro price rumor is accurate.

    In 91mobiles’ article, a leaked promotional video appears to confirm some details about the new Pixel Watch 2.

    The video says the watch will offer 24-hour battery life — same as the first-gen Google wearable — as well as stress and skin temperature detection.

    91mobiles writes that the watch includes the previously rumored continuous electrodermal activity sensor like the one that allows the Fitbit Sense 2 to do those things.

    With the October 4th Made by Google launch event fast approaching, there’s little left to the imagination for these devices.


    The original article contains 248 words, the summary contains 144 words. Saved 42%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

    Initially, I was contemplating pre-ordering the Watch 2 and using my Google Credit from last year’s Pixel 7 Pro purchase. However, if they indeed make this offer available in Canada as well, I might opt for the bundle instead. I’ll have to wait and see the details of the offer.
