1 TOUCH & GO
To stop water from activating your Watch 2's touchscreen, whether in the shower or pool, be sure to turn on the Touch Lock feature.
Swipe down from the main screen, look for the hand/padlock icon, and tap to activate Touch Lock. Now your touchscreen is out of action until you long-press the digital crown for 2secs. This is also a genius way of getting kids to step away from your watch.
2 WATCH & LISTEN
To get your music out of your watch and into your ears, you'll need to pair it with a Bluetooth audio device. Fire up pairing mode on your headphones or speaker, open your watch's settings and tap Connectivity, followed by Bluetooth. Scroll to the bottom, tap 'Pair new device', find your audio kit, tap it and follow the instructions to unlock apps like Audible, Spotify and You Tube Music.
3 LIVE LONG & PROSPER
The Pixel Watch 2's battery might struggle to make it through a full day, especially when playing loads of tunes. So dip into the Display settings, where you can turn off sunlight boost, drop the brightness, reduce the timeout time and deactivate that always-on display. Now, in Connectivity settings, turn off Wi-Fi and Mobile Data; and in the Battery settings, turn on Battery Saver.
