Generally love my watch so good I’m really into my fitness so for me it’s a brilliant gadget , only downside is the battery doesn’t last a day but other than that hardly anything bad about i
got it as a gift; great for workouts (autodetected in particular when i’m running or biking somewhere), sleep monitoring, heart rate monitoring, checking the weather or my calendar or just picking up any notification for my phone (configurable) and allowing me to quickly address them
I have slowly been trying to move away from apple. i have been using apple for 20 years. I have become bored and don’t believe there is much innovation left in them. Having said that i loved my apple watch. However because i moved away from the iPhone, to the google pixel phone i knew i had to find an alternative that would suit me.
After much consideration i picked up a google watch. Initially, i was disappointed. It is smaller than the apple watch, and i was used to a chunkier watch. I managed to get a great strap and case for it, and now im happy with the watch.
The watch and phone work well together. I have had no issues. So far it appears to work seamlessly. It has all the workouts i need for the gym. My only bug bear is whether i can wear it swimming. There seem to be conflicting messages on it. Some say its fine and others say no. It is 5m water resistant so theoretically it should be ok for a dip in the pool, but i would prefer some more clarification.
Battery life could be better. It lasts a day. At the end of the day i have to charge it. Id be thrilled if google could make the watch last 2 days of charge!
All in all, i am surprised that i like it so much. Definitely a worthy smartwatch all round.
Very comfortable, classy and does everything I need, love it!
The design is timeless. The software is smooth and beautiful. With battery saver mode on I get a day and a half of battery life with it, which is better than I got on my apple watch se.
Great style, super clear display, Integrates perfectly with the Google pixel phone. Battery life not grea
I purchased my wife’s Pixel watch directly from Google, I already got my one free through a promotion when I got the Pixel 7 Pro phone.
The Pixel watch is a pretty good first outing from Google, but there are some annoyances that keep it from being great.
First the good points, it’s really nice on the wrist, not too big, not too small, and very light.
The swappable wrist bands is a good idea and gives the watch a nice clean design.
The oled screen is easily legible and bright enough with a fairly good resolution.
Swiping through the screens is nippy enough and accessing menus doesn’t require a million steps and a degree in rocket science, it’s all laid out quite logically.
Overall, quite a nice watch, but with some glaring caveats.
The battery isn’t great, requiring a charge every single day, albeit it doesn’t take long, but it’s still a bit of a pain if you forget.
And there’s also the fact it requires the dedicated charge puck that comes with the watch itself or your out of luck and charge.
And this seems like Google missed an opportunity to be able to charge the watch wirelessly from a Pixel phone, keeping it all neat within the Google eco system.
And this really is where my main issue is with the Pixel watch, everything seems a bit of a cash grab on Googles part, if you lose the charger puck, you have no option but to buy another from Google, if you want total Fitbit integration, you have to pay Google, even the pebble design of the watch itself will cause issues with tempered glass protectors due to the rounded edges, and a broken watch face would require yet more money to Google.
And the price of official watch straps is bordering on robbery for silicon straps.
All these issues were designed into the Pixel watch, it’s not because of technical limitations.
All in, it’s not a bad first effort from Google, but it definitely needs a bit of product polishing for version 2 if they want it to be a mainstream product worthy of the price.
Excellent watch especially if you have a Google Pixal phone, battery recharge is a daily ordeal but it’s done in the time it take to have a shower , SPo2 sensor will be activated in next update , uses Fitbit software , vary accurate
very well made and better style then the box shaped apple watch i used to wea
I like: the design / appearance, the Fitbit integration, the strap, the Google assistant, Google Pay, build quality, ECG feature
I dislike: the high price (though I got mine as a freebie with a Pixel 7 pro), the so-so battery life, the screen size
If a larger version could be produced with smaller bezels and a better battery life, I think Google would have a winner here
I waited for updates and tried again with the Pixel Watch, because I like its round and light design more than that of the Fitbit Sense and because technically, it works faster and more reliable and so is more pleasant to use. After updating everything (important: including all apps on the watch, accessed via the menu and ‘Play Store’, especially the Fitbit app on the watch), things finally worked. Yay! Counting steps and floors and measuring sleep also seems to improve by wearing the watch, so I have now retired my Sense.
There is still the problem with the boring, insufficient watch faces (hopefully, they will introduce some better faces soon) and with having to charge the watch at least once every day, but that I can live with. That’s why I am now giving 4 stars instead of the original two.
*** The original review ***
I was so looking forward to this watch, and was ecstatic when I got it for free with my Pixel 7 Pro. But my enthusiasm has all but disappeared. I have had it for 2 days now, and have already spent hours (and I mean this quite literally) troubleshooting. Setup, syncing with the Fitbit app, counting floors, measuring sleep, telling the weather – nothing has worked reliably. The exercise types are missing some important ones, the available watch faces are unsatisfying, to say the least. Plus, the thing does not even last a full day, even without always-on screen. Now the syncing with Fitbit seems to have stopped for good, and none of the troubleshooting steps works. Will today return to my old Fitbit device. If I had paid for this watch, I would send it back.
It’s a good mix of Fitbit functionality plus smarwatch functions on top Fitbit lacks. Should be 50-100 cheaper tho
