Google is rolling out Wear OS 4 to the original Pixel Watch

  Wear OS 4 also introduces the ability to transfer your Pixel Watch data to a new phone without a factory reset as well as a way to back up your data and settings from your Pixel Watch when you’re ready to upgrade to a new one.

  Well that would have been really nice to have when I got a new phone last month. It was a huge pain to factory reset it and then set it all up again.

  I would not buy this thing again. I own the exact copy of what’s in the picture and can’t believe they would release this on the market.

  Bear in mind, I used a Fitbit Sense for about a year beforehand, and gave that to my SO. Why would I ever want to do back, right?

  The two major flaws are:

  • Battery life sucks dick like Jenna Jameson (really good for her, not so good for a watch)
  • It won’t notify you when it’s getting close to dying (Why would you need that on a watch last lasts a day and a half?)

  Of course, I asked for it for Christmas so I’m stuck with it for a while longer, but I’ll be going back to Fitbit at first opportunity. Sure, Fitbit is a tad bulkier and doesn’t have the same cool factor, but all the same features, twice the battery life, and yes, it reminds you that it needs a charge. Do not get this crappy Google product.

    Battery life sucks dick

    Can’t confirm. My Pixel Watch takes around 1½ days to completely day while fully in motion

    It won’t notify you when it’s getting close to dying

    Can’t confirm. My watch notified me when it was aroumd 15% and another (I believe) at 5%.

    Maybe you setup your watch wrong like cinema mode?

    I agree that the battery life isn’t great, but that’s the only issue I have with it.

    It won’t notify you when it’s getting close to dying (Why would you need that on a watch last lasts a day and a half?)

    Mine vibrates and gives a notification when the battery hits 15% or something. Might be 10%. I largely get by with just charging it when I get ready in the morning. And the battery life has also gotten way better since release, some of the updates made a big difference. It’s gone from maybe getting a full workday to easily getting a day and a half now if I put it in night mode overnight.

      Mine lasts all day, reminds me at 10%, and I charge it while I’m in the shower and it’s full. I just put mine on the charger and checked for updates and was pushed the latest.

    This battery life doesn’t work for me, but it’s consistent with the competition. Non-Ultra Apple Watches last a bit over a day, Samsung’s offerings last about two days. I switched to a Garmin because two weeks fits my wants much better and it’s just a better piece of hardware for everything I want.
