Google Bundle - Pixel Watch 3 (Matte Black Aluminum Case - Obsidian Band - 45mm LTE) & Pixel Buds Pro 2 Earbuds (Hazel)

Love this watch- it was a total upgrade from Fitbit but figured that the Google watch may get me more life expectancy. The only thing I do not like is having to charge once a day- my Fitbit watch would last 4 days or more on a charge. But I understand this watch does so much more and relies on Bluetooth to run. I never have any issues with the connection and it is accurate on fitness monitoring- although it does not count my steps as fast as my Fitbit did- maybe it’s just me!I can do so much more on this watch than my older Fitbit. If you are looking for a new smart watch this is worth the money- the 41cm fits my small wrist well, 45cm would be better for bigger wrists. Also I have bought the watch covers- cheap plastic cover to snap on- to keep the face looking nice as it is just the glass. So far I have had no issues with it breaking or marking.Update- after having for many months now I have 2 things I don’t like about this watch- they are just personal preference but still annoying.1. I HATE that I have to charge daily- I find it is not convenient and takes longer than a shower…so I lose steps/ tracking/ etc (Most the time I forget it is charging, etc)2. The pedometer is inaccurate- I work a very active job and go to the gym - and I NEVER get to 10,000 steps! My previous watch was always reaching my goal- I feel this is not sensitive enough to pick up my steps. Say when I am pushing a cart or lawnmower- nothing because I am not moving my arms. And it will not pick up any steps if I am on the bike at the gym unless I put the workout on- seems it cheats me daily. So I am not sure if the developers read these but it needs a new way to count. Thanks!

In the picture, the crown is digging into my skin which I've always HATED about watches. Then I realized the geniuses at Google finally solved that issue by allowing you to configure the crown on the opposite side! That alone warrants 5 stars. This watch is a lot sleeker looking in person. Even the band looks better in real life. Response time is amazing. Watch face options are plentiful. I actually was 90% sure I'd return this watch due to the price but it has impressed me enough to keep for good!

This is a fantastic watch. I've been a long-time Fossil smartwatch user. My Fossil Gen 6 watch started acting up, and I recently learned that Fossil has exited smartwatches. Once I switched to the Pixel 3, I was thrilled and do not miss my Gen 6 at all. I should have switched sooner.My 2nd Fossil replacement alternative was the OnePlus 2. The Pixel looked better (to me) and has Wear OS 5 which is the most recent version. It was hard to decide between the two using online descriptions and reviews, but I am happy with my choice. The Pixel battery life is better than the Fossil, even with the always on display, and easily gets me though the day. The charge may not last as long as the OnePlus 2, but I do not wear it overnight and instead put the watch on the charger, so the extra battery life is not an issue for me. Others may see this differently.The Pixel 3 screen is MUCH brighter and sharper than the Fossil, the processor is faster, and the watch operation is intuitive and easy to learn. Activating the watch, setting it up, and switching from the Fossil was quick and easy since most of the apps and info are tied to my Google account.Long-time irritants with the Fossil were how the end of the watch band kept flopping loose from its holder band, and how the crown button constantly activated when I sharply bent my wrist. The Pixel fixes both of these issues. The Pixel watch band is a bit tricky to attach at first (YouTube helps), but it works MUCH better than the Fossil and is more comfortable. The Pixel has a nice feature where you can rotate the watch display 180 degrees (make it upside down) so you can wear the crown button on the left side of the watch. No more accidental app activations, restarts, or 911 calls!My primary watch use is for business to monitor emails and texts, and to see/screen/take phone calls. All these work beautifully, and are handled much better than with the Fossil. Even the weather app is upgraded in the new OS, and there is a timer that can be added to the tiles. I use my watch secondarily for the health features, and I was sad (at first) to learn Google Fit would not be on the Pixel. I used Fit on the Fossil to track steps and distance walked. The new FitBit basic version is a true upgrade and gives me all the info I had before, plus a lot more. I did not opt for the free Premium FitBit trial.I bought and recommend a set of the plastic watch covers for scratch and impact protection, and a charging stand. Both work great.
