    Love Google, but not this watch.

    I love my google pixel phone and I am insanely bought into the google ecosystem, but this watch is a purchase I 100% regret. The batter life is terrible. I can't even make it an entire day. If you plan on using the cellular service on it, it will for sure be dead when you really need to make that call. I have had to erase and reconnect to my network 5x since purchasing. It will work fine for a couple of weeks connected to the network, then poof network is gone. Using fitbit is much better on any fitbit device you can find. The cheapest fitbit will give you a better experience than this watch. Since you have to charge it every night there is no way to capture sleep activity with fitbit. I love google products but this is just not a good product. I can't belive Google released the product knowing how poor it would perform. Super disappointed. I have been using since 06/2023 and I can't make myself spend the money to purchase something better.

    I want to start off by saying I really enjoyed the Garmin watches line, but since I'm became totally blind the Google Pixel watch has got my most attention. It has talk back on it so I can read everything on it, including my notifications messages, make phone calls, use the Google Assistant. It does everything I needed to do and more. I can't wait for the pixel watch too to come out. I would definitely recommend this watch, especially if you are visually impaired or blind because it includes a talkback function. Also, the Fitbit tracks your sleep and oxygen levels as well as exercises as well as other kind of apps overall and excellent product. I just wish the battery lasted longer. Hopefully that's resolved in the pixel watch too

    This truly is a great device to have especially if you have my job. A fellow co-worker mention how getting a LTE Watch would make s a whole lot of difference at work. As a Mail Carrier, having anything in your pants pockets will cause a drag, slow you down and be a major distraction. How do you hold a phone when you are carrying a 50 lbs bag of mail? Buy a Pixel LTE Watch. This difference is so amazing I believe the Post Office should deem this device as part of your employee uniform. Never having to overreach, secure toy our body and being a couple of lbs lighter, I highly recommend this LTE Watch to help you speed through your route.

    This smartwatch was surprisingly underwhelming. It crashes and freezes alot. The battery life on LTE is abysmal. It won't even last 12 hours. In the mornings, I just put it on and go. Sometimes it has to be unlocked in the morning, and you never know that because most of time time, it is unnecessary. However, I will go several hours and not get any notifications. Then I unlock my watch and it "starts", and then I get all these missed notifications. I was really looking forward to this watch, as my Pixel phone has been amazing. Sadly, this was quite disappointing.

    The watch is just a Fitbit but with the ability to have its own service without the need for wifi. This is definitely something, if you are on the fence on the watch, i would suggest to skip for the next iteration of this watch. It chews up battery without the battery saver. With it equipped, i am able to make it to about 50-60% battery life. And if you plan on using it while sleeping, you better charge for at least 15 min. Also at current there is no other charging options besides the charger it comes with. To conclude, its just a Fitbit with the ability to have 4g wherever you go. Definitely would recommend waiting for the next iteration of this watch. But of you really want one, then wait for a sale.

    I like the watch very much. I wish you could customize the buttons for other things but overall it's a great product. The only negative thing I'd say is the battery life which only lasts like a day and a half. I find myself having to charge it a lot more than I'd like.

      Hey there, NahumTQ. We’re glad that you like the Pixel Watch. We appreciate you sharing your concerns about its battery life, and having the ability to customize the buttons. We’ll share your feedback with the right team for future improvements. Meanwhile, you can turn on the Battery Saver when the battery gets low. While Battery Saver is on, the "Always-on screen" and "Tilt-to-wake" feature will be set to Off. For sleep tracking, you will need a minimum 30% charge (about 30 minutes to 50%). Try charging during your morning routine or during your wind-down time at night so the battery lasts while you’re sleeping. Learn more tips to help your watch battery last longer here: https://support.google.com/googlepixelwatch/answer/13579780

    The Pixel Watch s\is the perfect companion to a Pixel phone or any Android phone. Get notifications, texts, and calls right on your wrist, great fitness tracking through Fitbit, and a sleek look in a familiar circular form. I easily get a day of battery life, charging it while I am showering and getting ready each morning. Having the LTE is also great for leaving a phone at home to track activity or in case of emergency and the phone isn't nearby.

    Love the watch, the way it looks and most of the functions. Has a pretty short battery life and little to no information about initially setting it up, etc. Probably easy for younger/techie folks, not so easy for us older users but I still love it overall.

    I think Google did a really good job with this one. The user interface feels just like an Apple watch but with a circular screen. The battery life is good lasting little over a day with basic use. The link to the phone is great with live notifications and calls all coming through the watch. The band is firm and secure and doesn't hurt your skin. Overall I think the device is really good for pixel users know if only I could stand Android.

    Ended up like a Sense that I have to charge more

    Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Battery: I knew based on reviews it was poor, particularly compared to the Fitbit Sense I was using prior to the Pixel watch. Due to the poor battery life AND slow charging capabilities I either need to charge it in the morning and evening for 20-30 min at a time or go for 45-60 min without the watch on for a single charge. This is on days I DON'T workout and I have the majority of the features disabled in the watch. I only use it to receive text messages, time (obv), and heart rate/activity/sleep tracking. Poor battery renders most of the watch's functionally useless since features either need to be turned off to preserve battery life or you need to take it off to charge during which time you can't use the watch anyways. LTE: I work in a hospital providing patient care. I opted to pay extra for the LTE so I wouldn't have to lug my phone around in my very limited scrubs pocket space. This way, I could continue to communicate with my colleagues while on the floors and not have to worry about my phone falling out when squatting and/or having it jab into my leg or abdomen. Unfortunately, if I've been away from my phone for more then 30 min I get a message stating I'm not connected to my phone and I'm unable to send any text messages. A quick Google search shows this has been a problem since Dec 2022 which has not been resolved. It gets 2 stars because of its potential, beautiful interface, excellent activity tracking, and seamless connection to Fitbit features. If I could return it for the non-LTE version I would but I've passed that point so I'm hoping at the VERY least the LTE functionality works with an update but I'm not holding my breath. I opted to get this for $50 more rather than repurchasing a Sense which at this point I think is a 2 yr old device. However, I've ended up with a prettier device with the same level of practical functionally, that I'm able to wear less due to charging requirements.

    This is a great watch and works perfectly for my father. He loves to use tech but prefers simple use and design. this watch is prefect and sits very well on his thin wrist. The fact that most smart watches are square which doesn't look any more like a watch. the price is great and doesn't cost a arm and leg as other companies

    I really like this watch. It has many features and it is also paired with Fitbit. I like the SOS safety function and like being able to get a phone call or see messages if I forget my phone. Very pleased with this purchase and would recommend this watch. There is only one small downfall has to be charged more frequently than a Fitbit. About once very day.

    I am 95% pleased with this watch. It’s very user-friendly with clear display. However, buyer should be aware that if your phone is unlocked, and you pay for the cell feature, you may not get it easily, if at all because of a technical issue. In my case it is with Verizon, but it may be for any unlock phone. I’m not sure. at any event I paid for the sale and I don’t use it. The people at Best Buy were very kind and tried very hard to fix the problem, but could not do that. I will not return it because of their hard work they may eventually solve the problem. I do love the watch.
