Pixel Watch 1st Gen (Previous Model) - Android Smartwatch with Fitbit Activity Tracking - Heart Rate Tracking Watch - Matte Black Stainless Steel case with Obsidian Active band - WiFi

I bought 3 Pixel Watch 1 units for my family. After 4 months of daily use, I can say all of them work very well. The main issue is the short battery life. I usually charge it in the morning for about 1–1.5 hours, which takes it from 10–20% up to 80–90%. It lasts through the day, but Google really needs to improve battery life in future versions (minimum 7 days expected). ✅ Pros: Stylish and comfortable for daily wear. All my family members like it. Great sleep monitoring. Excellent for sports: I train 5 days a week (1.5h cycling + 20–50 minutes outdoor gym) and it tracks everything accurately. Comes with 6 months of Fitbit Premium free trial. ❌ Cons: Battery life is too short. Fitbit Premium is expensive and not really practical, so I won’t continue after the free period.

I've had my Google pixle watch for about a week now, and I'll share my first impressions. I'm sixty-three years old and this technology is something I've been waiting for, for over fifty years. I'll come back in a month and share my experience with it then. It looks fantastic, sleek and thin. It's a beautiful expression of technology and styling. It does everything I need it to do, and it does it well. I'm running the cardio monitor to detect a-fib, so the battery life is pretty short. It's a small price to pay for a good cardiac monitor. If I have to charge it every day, it's all good. I love the screen, and the fact that I can read and respond to text messages and email by voice,very cool. The only complaint I could possibly have, is the battery life, it's very short. I probably need to turn off some of apps I have running. Other than that, I'm loving the new watch. It is very cool! EDIT : after the watch did all the updates, the battery life improved dramatically. I easily get two days of use per charge. It charges very quickly (in about an hour) and I am very pleased with my decision to purchase a Google pixle watch!

Needed a simple watch for work. This is an extremely cheap watch compared to what the most updated watches cost. The battery dues run low so you are looking at approximately 70% battery life at the end of the day, but this is to be expected as this is the first generation of this product. If you want a cheap watch that still does most of what other digital watches do and done mind charging it nightly then this is a good choice.

Battery life is the only thing I was really worried about when I bought this. Does everything I want it to do. Update: I've had this watch for about four days now and found out a few things. LTE and WiFi use a god awful lot of battery. I ran multiple tests with the battery on this watch and think they would be beneficial to provide in a review. Test Results: • Battery Charging Time The watch was completely dead when I opened the box. Went from 0 to 50% in less than a half hour and finished it's charging in about another half hour. In total charging from 0 to 100% was about an hour. • Battery Life When I had LTE and WiFi on, It used a whole lot more battery life than it did with it only when needed, or off. All of these battery tests were run from 5:30 AM to 5:30 PM. With LTE and WiFi on all day I was left with about 15 precent left. With LTE and WiFi on only when needed, I was left with about 40 precent left. With it off all day, (Only Bluetooth was on) I was left with 60 precent. When I ran these battery life tests, tilt to wake was off to save battery. Your personal results may vary depending on usage. * BATTERY TESTS END HERE * --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- My Review: • Quality Watch feels very high quality. Came in a really well packaged box. Felt really nice to open. • Personalization You are able to change out bands you buy aftermarket, or from the Google store. My recommendation is to buy aftermarket bands. Google's bands are overpriced. You are also able to change the watch face and color (depends on face) to your liking. • Setup Setup was very seamless. It was really just clicking buttons and agreeing to TOS and things like that. With eSim activation it was very seamless with Google Fi. If you use any other service providers. I don't know how that will work. • LTE Costs? With Google Fi, there is no extra cost to adding your watch to your plan. (Max. of 1 watch per user on plan) Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T, and other mobile providers costs may vary. I recommend for you to create a customer service ticket before buying this watch with LTE if you use anything else other than Google Fi. • Emergency Features Wear OS 4 on the Pixel Watch includes fall detection, safety check, SOS, Medical Info Access, and Emergency Sharing for your safety and protection. For more information about what those features are, I recommend for you to visit the Google page for the Pixel Watch. • Apps Functionality Apps are fairly smooth. Pixel Watch comes with a 6 months fitbit premium trial. Both apps setup is fairly smooth. Fitbit is also a part of health Connect for Pixel phones so it will link up with other fitness apps you have for your phone or watch.

I'll start with the pros because sadly there aren't many. It feels premium and I personally like the small footprint on my wrist as it's not heavy and is comfortable with the band it ships with. Everything else leaves me wondering why I've stuck with Google this long. Battery life is the main reason I returned this watch. If you don't ever touch it, leave the screen dark, disable every feature you can and leave battery saver on constantly, you'll get at most 20 hours of use per day because the thing can't make it a full 24 hours, even when you aren't wearing it at all! I have to charge 2-3 times per day (twice if I do no exercise at all) and it takes around 1.5-2 hours to charge, which seems excessive given my phone can charge from 0-100% in 28 minutes. When you aren't charging, you have to deal with no spo2 sensor (even though it has one), AFib tracking doesn't work constantly and the speakerphone is ENTIRELY UNUSABLE. It crackles when turned up loud enough to almost hear it and when it isn't crackling it's not loud enough to make out voice. You can't even hear the Assistant talk and the alarm wouldn't be noticeable if not for the vibrating. This watch makes me want to spend thousands to switch back and be an Apple customer after years of leaning towards Google for everything. This watch was a swing and a huge miss. This watch doesn't even compete with 5 year old watches out there. Not sure what Google was thinking, but it's making me reconsider being a Google Fanboy as no other Android watch checks all the boxes. My other complaint is the FitBit Premium membership needed to keep most of your data long-term unless you export it elsewhere (which isn't too difficult). Ultimately this experience pushed me to decide to not use a watch for now and I'm going to quit using Google Fit on my phone as I feel I should be getting paid for them to keep and sell my data to others. My other negative is the impact that this has to the environment. While the manufacturing process already did enough damage, this watch needs so much electricity to stay alive that it will cost me more than the watches value to keep it charged, creating more unnecessary environmental impact and costing me more in electricity daily. I can't even believe that I came to these conclusions because I'm a techie/nerd and usually need all the latest/greatest products. Would not recommend this subpar watch, most likely will convert me from Googles [clearly] subpar Ecosystem. Even Fitbit Sense (which Google owns) gets at least 6x battery life and has more features, but Google made lots of promises for that watch that they still have yet to deliver - so I'm going without a watch now. Very sad this is what they released as their first watch. Maybe they should have waited yet another year if this is all they could do? Everyone I know that got a Pixel watch returned them and everyone I knew that wanted one no longer does. Pretty sad, but you sure aren't getting what you're paying for here. Google needs to remember who their customers are...

Not gonna lie, after reading some of these reviews, I was really nervous about the battery life of this watch. Turns out, it really not that bad. I'm a high school student who wakes up at 3:45 to go to the gym before school, and it still lasts me all day. I wear it to the gym, school, work, everywhere. I love how easy it is to connect to my Google Pixel and I love that it can keep track of my workouts and calendar. I keep mine in battery save mode because I do the same thing with my phone, and I feel like I could sleep with it, but I'd be out of battery halfway through the night. If you're not wanting/don't care about the sleep tracking, then it's perfect. I highly recommend.

Update: The battery life on this is terrible. Barely could go a whole day on one charge. I don't use all of the features so I just shut off all the things I don't need. I also turned off the tilt to wake feature and it seems to have helped. I got it for the price and because my other Fitbit was dying, I don't need all the fancy things on it so this is still a pretty good value for my needs. So far so good. Huge upgrade from my Fitbit inspire for a great price. Looks even better in person. Took a bit to navigate and had to move my Fitbit account to Google but so far so good.

Returning Google pixel Watch: Let's start with why I wanted to buy this watch. I'm a big fan of Google and the Google pixel phone series and a big fan of the Fitbit. So this combination of a Google pixel watch that works with Fitbit sounded like a dream come true! My Fitbit charge 6 was dying, as we know all these do eventually, so I figured this was an opportune time to give the Google pixel Fitbit watch a chance. Now for the reasons why I have returned it!: ** Battery life, I have to charge it at least twice a day, I was feeling like a slave to the charger. **It's cumbersome to see what my hourly activity steps were at. Too many taps to get to see where I was in my hourly steps. And I was missing the notifications, which meant I went through several days of not getting all my steps in every hour. Due to a foot injury, I rely heavily on those notifications to make sure I get up and walk at least 500 steps an hour. This feature was not working for me. ** It's too big on my wrist. ** It doesn't accurately track steps. Often I would find that I would look up my step count, then a few minutes later checking it again and see that the count was lower. ** Trying to scroll through to find a setting, or an app is annoying. ** I couldn't get the hang of setting up the notifications so I would hear them on my phone and not through the watch. Meaning my phone would ring, and my watch is ringing a different ring at the same time. If I muted my watch it also muted my phone. This wasn't working for me. ** The same with text messages, I muted them on my watch but then I wasn't getting the notifications on my phone either. The only way I knew I was getting any messages was by looking at my phone. So it seemed the whole purpose of combining Google pixel phone notifications into a watch just wasn't working for me. I was shutting off the Google pixel apps so I could just have a regular Fitbit watch again. Which made me think why do I have this watch? ** Do not disturb on my phone doesn't transfer to watch, have to do it in two places. That is a pain I'm going back to just a regular Fitbit, that's cheaper and simpler to use. My life is not that complicated that I need a phone and a watch to keep me up to date.
