I see pre-ordering a Pixel 8 Pro would get me a free Pixel Watch. A quick look makes me see they can be used with FitBit (which I don’t use nor need).

For those of you who use those watches, what are the other features you enjoy the most? What has improved your daily routine? What would you miss if you lost the watch? Etc.

Thanks for any insights!

    I’ve used a bunch of different wear os watches and the pixel watch 1 is my favorite… barely. Not a huge fan of the style but the comfort is tops. I use the watch for running frequently. Worked great for tracking runs while streaming music to Bluetooth earbuds.

    Battery life is ok. Not great but not bad enough for me to feel restricted.

    The software is wear os. Which, afaict, is not the same level of quality as apple’s watch. I definitely miss notifications for no explanable reason on a rare occasion. Still, weird and unexpected.

    8/10 - really very comfortable and overall great. Would get another.
