Carried a Pixel Watch for a while but it was so frustrated me so went back to my G Shock.

Got my Fox M390 knife too for a bit of class. We’;re a bit limited here in the UK.

    What was so frustrating about the pixel watch? I’m rocking a galaxy watch 4 but was thinking or switching due to just getting a pixel phone.

      I have had pretty much every pixel phone. Got the Pixel watch for free.

      I hate it for a few reasons

      • battery, lasts a day if you hardly use it.
      • So slow, it lags and I feel like I swipe and have to wait all the damn time.
      • Connecting my bluetooth headphones (WF100XM4). Constantly forgets and I have no audio.
      • Burn in, using AOD, it “burns in” super quickly.
      • Cant wirelessly charge from my phone.
      • The charger always draws a couple of watts even when not being used, so turns my charger into a slower charger as it thinks 2 devices are connected.
      • Massive bezels look so 2016.
      • Really slow switching to wifi for downloads, again friction to using it.

        Thanks for the details. Honestly might just go back to automatic watches after this one.
