Just recently, Google rolled out its latest Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro alongside the Pixel Watch 2. However, with the introduction of the Pixel Watch 2<\/span>, there’s been a shake-up in Google’s watch band lineup, and with it comes a compromise. Unfortunately, this redesign led to the removal of some options, including the original brown leather strap. The two-tone \u201cLinen\u201d leather strap offered a lighter brown hue with gold hardware, making it a perfect complement to the gold Pixel Watch. However, this variant has now been removed from the market entirely (via 9to5Google<\/span>). Currently, Google<\/a> offers Obsidian black\/gray, Porcelain white\/gray (slightly updated from last year’s Chalk), and Bay for its watch bands.<\/p>\n

Last year’s initial lineup for Pixel Watch<\/span> featured a solid lineup of bands. There were various active options in different colors<\/a>, including two types of high-quality leather straps. The two-tone leather, in particular, stood out, and it was the only way to snag a brown leather strap for the Pixel Watch<\/span> during launch.<\/p>\n

This year, Google introduced a blue color for its Crafted Leather strap, but oddly enough, there’s still no brown option. Given that brown leather is a common and iconic choice for leather accessories, it’s surprising that Google decided to eliminate this option from its lineup.<\/p>\n

Notably, the two-tone leather strap was exclusive to the Google<\/a> Store, leaving no other source of purchase. <\/a>While other brands offer replacements, the convenience of getting it directly from Google has been lost.<\/p>\n

THE Pixel Watch 2<\/span> represents a nice upgrade over the original, but if you’re a first-generation owner, you may not find compelling reasons to make the change. And that’s completely normal: smartwatch innovation tends to progress at a slower pace. On the other hand, users also tend to keep their watch for a long time<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
