After a detour with the Pixel Buds, my journey into the world of smartwatches took a significant turn with the Pixel Watch 2. Despite initial concerns about battery life and the missing "smart wake-up" feature from my beloved Fitbit Sense, the allure of a new device with Fitbit integration proved too strong to resist. Follow along as I recount the somewhat comical process of finally getting the Pixel Watch 2 on my wrist and the unexpected feature that truly ignited my passion for custom watch face design.

In Part 1, I covered my early experiences with wrist watches, from analog, to digital. Now, in Part 2, we'll continue my journey to my first fitness tracker: a simple pedometer that planted the seed for my later obsession with Fitbit. We'll also take a look at my early, and admittedly clumsy, attempts to create my own watch faces.

I never set out to become a watch face designer, but events in my life set me on that path. What started as a simple fascination with timepieces decades ago has evolved into something I didn't know was possible – creating my own unique watch faces designs that can be shared with the world. Join me as I explore the winding path that led me from a lifelong love of watches to the world of digital design, branding and distribution.
