Intro: This is a quick summary of NYC Day in the Life with the Google Pixel 8 Pro from Shervin Shares. It’s a great watch — we’re breaking it down so you can try the workout today. Be sure to check out the full video for all the details.

Key Points:

The Pixel Watch 2 can run heart‑rate zone and pace‑based workouts directly from your wrist.
You can set a Zone 2 run (≈136‑140 bpm) and the watch will vibrate when you drop out of the zone.
GPS tracks distance; Shervin’s example was 1.36 mi in about 15 min.
Auto‑detect works for biking and walking, prompting you to start a workout without tapping your phone.
Quick‑tap‑to‑pay on the watch lets you grab coffee or transit tickets without pulling out your phone.

Workout Example:

Open the Workout app on the Pixel Watch 2 and choose Run – Zone 2 (set HR ≈ 136‑140 bpm).
Start the run on the East Side Highway.
Stay in the target heart‑rate zone; the watch will buzz if you fall below.
Aim for ~1.4 mi (≈ 15 min) at an easy, conversational pace.
After finishing, pause the workout and review distance, average pace, and HR data.

Closing Note: Give the Zone 2 run a try today and feel free to adjust the heart‑rate range or distance in the Pacing app to match your own fitness level. Have fun and keep crushing those miles!
