Google - Pixel Watch Silver Stainless Steel Smartwatch 41mm with Chalk Active Band Wifi/BT - Silver/Chalk - (2022)

This watch being it's the first one from Google is rather good. Google gets beat up pretty hard on lots of their devices, however being this is their first it's pretty good. The battery life I'm getting at least 24 hours. When you first set it up of course the battery life is not going to be as good, and that's always the worst time to give a battery review, which a lot of people tend to do. Let things settle for a week or two and get everything set up and then see what the battery life is. Overall the syncing with the Google pixel 7 Pro phone has been very good. This watch has all of the data that you need to get through the day. The notifications are excellent. Even apps that are not installed on the watch can still give you notifications such as storm alerts. One interesting thing about the apps is that there is no native Gmail app on this watch which is rather surprising being it's a Google product. It's more odd because even Outlooks app is on here where you can go into your inbox for your email, where you can't with Gmail. Hopefully a future update will include Gmail. You are able to get your Gmail notifications though, which is good. There are many watch faces to choose from which is very nice. I only think this experience is only going to get better with each update. For a first device like this for Google this is rather good. I've been using it for over a week now which is still on the early side but so far it's been a solid experience. The Fitbit integration is great as well if you are coming from a Fitbit device you'll be very familiar with all of the metrics. No problem syncing with Fitbit. There is one other thing about the SPO2 sensor, at the time of writing this it is not active yet but it is available on the watch. I would imagine this is coming soon. It's another nice metric to have especially if you're used to it coming from a Fitbit product. The other gripe that we hear is the size of this watch being only 41 mm. Not sure why Google did not offer another size as well. I would imagine they're taking a lot of feedback on this and will offer two sizes next time. For me it still is fine with the 41 mm they do a good job with not showing the bezel with certain watch faces. Again overall very good experience so far and looking forward to the updates to come. For first effort they did a rather good job.

I really like this watch! This is my first smartwatch, coming from a Fitbit Charge 5 which bricked on me. This watch has all the Fitbit features plus a lot more. I love how on Spotify you can download podcasts and music right on the watch and don't have to carry around my phone. Even my Pixel Buds connect directly to the watch! My only complaint is I wish there were more apps available on WearOS. Even Google's own Podcasts app is not available. I also wish Audible was available, but I doubt that will ever happen considering it's Amazon. The screen on the phone is clearly an OLED with perfect blacks, but bright colors still really pop and is pretty easy to read outdoors even when it's sunny. This thing has some really cool watch faces available for it. I think this watch is a really good value for the money. I was worried it was going to be slow and janky but it's very quick and smooth to operate. The band system is also very intuitive and you can wear the watch on either hand. The software also allows you to invert the watch image so you can have the dial on whichever side you prefer. Oh! One other feature I love is that you can use the watch as a remote control for your phone. When I go to bed, I have my phone in a dock on my headboard and usually listen to rain or white noise to fall asleep. If it gets too loud, I can just turn down the volume with the knob on the watch without having to fumble around in the dark. Awesome! Battery life says "up to" 24 hours but it easily lasts longer than that, even after a run and listening to podcasts. I usually get around a day and a half out of it. It charges very quickly as well. If you wear this watch to track your sleep, you'll be happy to know that as long as you have around 10% battery left when you go to bed, that's more than enough to last the whole night. Another useful feature is you can make and receive calls and texts on the watch. You can also use the watch to find your phone and the phone to find your watch.

Despite of the mixed reviews of the Pixel Watch from YouTubers and independent bloggers and journalist, my wife and I personally enjoy the watch and after a week of use, the battery appears to last much longer than the first few days after initial setup. The thick bezel doesn't bother us as the UI and watch interface does a great job blending it around the background. The thick bezel is as easily ignored as Apple's famous notch or dynamic island screen design. The Fitbit integration is a welcome addition which I personally think it's better than using Google Fit which lacks lots of features compared to other competitors like Samsung, Apple and Garmin. Regarding the 2018 Samsung Exynos chip, it's not a problem at all since the watch has a really well-designed UI and runs very smooth in all accounts. I think YouTube reviewers and the like are reviewing the watch too harshly and comparing it to other smartwatches that's been on the market for several generations. At this point, that's like comparing a new model first gen car to a 10th gen BMW car that's been redefined for several years. Remember, how Apple and Samsung started with theirs? They had several issues with their watch and wasn't perfect as well, especially the battery life. Give it time and the product will become better. Don't let other negative reviewers cloud your judgement. See it for yourself. Overall, I'll personally give this watch a 4 our of 5 stars.
