In October 2023, Google launched the Pixel Watch 2, their follow-up to the first-gen Pixel Watch. The Pixel Watch 2 shipped with WearOS 4 and upped the ante on all the glorious things you could do from your wrist with or without your phone. However, one thing that has remained pretty much the same is the ability to pair headphones to a Pixel Watch to give your phone a break.
That "without your phone" part is one of my favorite uses of an Android smartwatch because I try to pack light when I hit the gym. But staying consistent in the gym or exercising outdoors at the intensity that works for me requires the help of a solid music playlist. That means grabbing my favorite Bluetooth earbuds or headphones and making it happen, Cap'n!
