    I have a Pixel Watch 2 and love it!!! ❤️ Battery Life is for me good! I always charge the Watch from 22 to 23 hour...i than go sleep with Tracking... Next Day Alarm...than use it for 1 hour Workout, and i always use the Timer between my Sets...so maybe 25-30 Timer...than i use it with GPS for an other hour in the Afternoon...i have all activated, Always on Display, Touch, Tilt, Hej Google, Sunboost, all all all active...and when it comes again 22, this are 23 hour, i have always between 35-40% Battery...so the only thing for me that i wish from the Pixel Watch 3, is an XL Version, because for my Wrist, the actually normal Pixel Watch is to small...that'is! I love it! ❤️👌🏽

    It came free with my Pixel 7 pro. I've enjoyed using it and it does most things very well. Battery life is OK and seems to be getting better with use. I have enough juice to easily get through 24 hours, using it for sleep tracking and it charges up quickly too. The Fitbit integration could be better - why no SpO2 monitoring or skin temperature? The Google Assistant is really really good and very fast, and I love the way you get a little animation on the watch face if you are running apps in the background such as Spotify. I'm not sure if I would have been prepared to pay the hefty price tag for the watch. The next version needs to have a larger option with a better battery life. Then I might consider buying one.

      It has the sensors, And I have an Idea why they aren't available to use yet.
      I hope I'm wrong but, since the watch comes with a 6 month fitbit premium, and the ECG and presumably the SpO2 are through fitbit. They may be waiting for 6 months post launch to entice people with the "new features" to buy/continue the fitbit premium subscription when the trial ends.

    I'm still wearing an original Huawei Watch and it's still the nicest design by far that we've ever had. No more updates but it's decently smooth, very useable speed, and still lasts a day and a half with about mode on, almost 2 with screen off. I love the design, the Milanese band, the sapphire OLED screen looks flawless 9 years later. That's pretty insane. 9 years and it has almost no vessel compared to the new offerings. How is that possible?? I can't bring myself to upgrade to anything else. It also just feels so so premium compared to new Pixel and Samsung watches. I would never go back to a non metal mesh band either; it's mind blowingly better, and more upscale.
    I don't care about exercise still at all except for tracking workouts, which it does. I do send messages from it and rarely take phone calls and it sounds great on the other end. I even use it as a cameras preview and shutter, to find my phone, but they removed offline music play since it only worked with Google Play Music, not Spotify.

    Went from a fossil gen 5 to Fitbit sense 1. I did have a pixel watch for about a week but decided to return it. I got very used to the 3-4 day battery life of the Fitbit and the nightly sleep tracking. I couldn't go 24hrs without having to charge the pixel watch. I'm disappointed in the sense 2 as they removed google assistant... So I'm not very confident in upcoming Fitbit products. I wonder how the battery will be on pixel watch 2 and what will happen with sense/versa line.

    I just realized because of this video that this won't charge on my Pixel 6 Pro. For what I need and want, my 9-10 year old Huawei Watch is actually better, even if a pain to charge with the pin-dock. That's crazy to me. Look at the size of the bezels on the Pixel and Galaxy Watches too! I'm going to go look up the Apple Watch, see what they're up to, but I find using an iPhone home screens, settings, etc infuriating or like prison in comparison.
    I'm guessing if Apple made their watch work with a Pixel or Samsung flagship, I would shell out whatever it cost. This Huawei watch was also like $700-800 when new and super worth it.

    My issue with this is the hard Fitbit premium upsell. This is supposed to be the leader for Google with wearos 3. Yet they force you to buy a service that should be included period end of story.
    The watch itself is nice. Just not 400 dollars nice. Heck right now I can get a Skagen gen 6 sw for under 190.00 USD with WOS3. Does all this and more. At best this should have been 299.99 if not 249.99.

      I just looked it up and it also has a massive freaking bezel. Huawei made an almost no bezel watch 9 years ago, and none of the new ones seem to have that. Big fat tire all around the screen.. I don't get it. It looks so bad. The Pixel watch seems to hide it well, but it's even bigger on that, and it's a tiny screen.
      I'm trying to upgrade my original Huawei Watch and there's apparently nothing else like it with a sapphire screen and a Milanese band.
      Might just try to find an unopened One of the same or something. At least it'll probably be cheap.
      Looks like most smart watches are now meant for fitness (which I don't want) and most are not focused on looking nice. The Pixel watch does look great, until your realize where the screen ends.
