    This "not a review" is the best review I've seen precisely because you aren't a Smartwatch Guy. You represent the vast majority of users that might have some tech knowledge, but don't spend their waking hours picking apart tech. I enjoy seeing the more realistic approach to use and thoughts on how a device works for the average person

    Oh my, I can't agree more! The Pixel Watch has become a true extension of my arm. The best smartwatch experience I have ever had. Everything is so clean, sure there are a few software issues, but nothing that can't be updated. I honestly cannot wait to see how Google evolves the PW in the future.

It's not the new Tensor G2 chip like in the Pixel 7 series but the original Tensor chip is still a really good chip. Also with a Pixel phone, you get the true Android experience without all of the bloatware.

    Great honest video! I got the Pixel watch with the Pixel 7 Pro, and when I opened the box I was like... 'what is this tiny thing?' I was using a Huawei GT2e which I think is 44mm!?, and the pixel watch was like a kids toy watch. I was sure I'd be selling it within a week, but I tried it for a few days. You won't get this thing off my wrist now. I love it! I've even become addicted at looking at my sleep patterns. Did I get enough REM and deep sleep? jeez. Might need to try a new strap tho, as the silicon one is hmmm not great tbh

    I'm a Pixel fan 100%. I've only had pixel phones since the first one. And although I'd been eagerly waiting for this to be released, I decided to get the galaxy watch 5 for a few reasons. Like you, I have very limited smartwatch experience. The only other one I've had was the fossil sport which was horrible in numerous ways, one of which was battery life. So, after hearing the initial reviews talking about the poor battery life and seeing that it had a centered digital crown (which broke on my fossil from pressure from my hand while sleeping or working out) I reluctantly chose the Samsung. Setting up the 4g connection was more difficult than it should've been. But beyond that I have it setup with all Google services and I think I have all the same benefits you mentioned. And I'm not sure what your battery experience has been but I get about a day and a half with the always on display on. Plus I don't need a premium subscription service to do sleep tracking. Anyway, the Pixel watch is definitely good looking. I'll probably get the Pixel watch 3 when it has better battery life and more styles to choose from. Cheers.

    I really appreciated this review. It was honest. I've been a Fitbit tracker wearer for a number of years, and I rely on it for my runs. Many reviewers of the Pixel Watch seemed to focus on small differences between Wear OS implementations or differences with the Apple watch. That stuff didn't concern me as much as just the bread and butter parts of a wearable, but their negativity worked and I didn't buy the Pixel Watch. However, your review convinced me to pick it up and now I'm excited to check it out. Thank you!

Or what about the gym or even working out at home or rock wall climbing or even hiking or trail running for that matter. Seems like a white collared only watch. You'd have to have something else for the outdoors or real workouts besides road running or walking. Not sure I'd want to use it even biking much less mountain biking.
