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 - LTE

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.

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.

Integrates with Fitbit and works as intended

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 bought this watch on February 19, 2024 and at first it was great! I loved that it tracked steps very accurately, allowed me to access phone, messages, and email, and was super comfortable to wear. I wore it every day. Then, on June 13, I put the watch on the provided charger and I went about my day as usual. Four hours later, I returned to my watch to wear it and was surprised to find it hadn't charged at all. I thought it was weird so I did the manual reset and put it back on the charger. Two hours later still nothing. I put it aside and reached out to Google Pixel support. My inquiry to them on June 14th was lengthy but on June 16th, they agreed to send me a new charger to try. In the meantime, my husband had tried the manual reset again after watching a YouTube video and we got it to charge. And all was good...until I took it on a vacation with me and it stopped charging on day one. This was the end of January beginning of February. There was nothing I could do while on vacation so I waited until we got back home and tried again to put the watch onto the charger to charge. I tried both chargers (including the new one they had sent in June), I tried multiple outlets, I tried the manual reset (my husband tried the manual reset). Nothing worked. We could not get it to charge no matter what we did. We spent some time on Pixel's help pages, we watched YouTube videos, we finally reached out to Google support again to ask for more help. They took me through everything...did you take it off the charger and put it back on, did you try manually resetting the watch, did you try multiple chargers and electrical outlets...I finally got them to understand that something was wrong internally with the watch and they needed to fix it. It took a week for Google support to verify my case, my identity, and to get back to me only to say that my warranty had expired and they could no longer issue me a new watch. They could only offer me a new charger. But we had established that a new charger wouldn't work. Also, I wasn't necessarily looking for a new watch yet. I asked if I could send mine in to be looked at in the factory. I am still waiting to hear whether they will allow me to do that. Honestly, if I had known about the problems from the start I would not have gotten this watch. On top of that, I found Google Pixel support to be slow, unhelpful, and dismissive of my concerns. Get a smart watch somewhere else from some other company and don't waste your money on this piece of crap.

Works great Worth the moneylonf lasting battery life Easy to set up

I wrote a review when I first got the watch then I retracted it feeling I should test drive it much longer. Here is what I think after using it for a few months. It's ok. As part of my whole Pixel everything line up, it works. What don't I like? It's LTE reception is weak and very erratic. No matter how strong the signal, usually it barley functions. When Bluetooth connected, it works like a champ. Screen size... having owned a Samsung Galaxy, I was used to a much larger display. The Pixel just barely gets under the wire for screen size. Most of the time I use it to let me know what is on my connected phone. Many reviews swooned about its glorious design. Guess what? It's a small circle of glass. Honestly it is to small for most men's wrist . I have small, weedy wrists and even on me, it looks to small and delicate. I "fixed" this problem by finding an excellent new watch band here on Amazon that you actually slip the watch into the band. It now looks like a tactical type watch well suited to a male wrist. I think most smart watches look awful on women. This one would be an exception. The other features are ok, I don't use all of them. I mainly wanted a watch that allowed me to leave my phone behind. I don't trust it enough to be certain I would receive an important call. Emails and texts typically come through reliably- way better than the Samsung Galaxy. The image quality in the screen itself is great. The various sounds the watch uses are excellent. Not obtrusive but easy to hear. I wish I had waited for the Pixel 2 watch; maybe it would have been better. This is first gen stuff. My hopes were high, my expectations were fairly low. This watch met those low expectations. If you can find this watch at a much reduced price, sure, get it- particularly if like me, you are all in with the Pixel stuff. I don't hate this watch, I just don't love it.

Its a good watch but it's the first gen so you'll be getting basic features.
