Google Pixel Watch

I really dislike this watch. The battery dies very quickly. You are limited to just a few faces to choose from that are mostly analog. When you go to the "search new faces" and select one, it never uploads it to your watch. It spends more time on the charger than on my wrist, and discharges quickly. This watch is sentimental to me because my son bought it for me, otherwise I would've returned it immediately. I never nor would I ever recommend it to anyone.

This app is still quite clunky and not very intuitive but has improved from previous versions. For example, the calendar sync setting in this app is not working as the watch calendar app is actually not using this setting. It is mirroring the calendar app on the phone. So if you have various calendars on your phone but don't want them all shown on your watch it's not possible. Not sure what the calendar sync setting in this app is actually for. Just to frustrate users???

The workout watch face changed to a list making it useless when having a vigorous workout and quickly looking down at the watch to see the field you are interested in. It use to have the fields in each corner, which made it easy to find what you want. Now it's in a list, it's just a bunch of useless numbers unless you stop your workout to read the fine print.

Pixel Watch 2 kept randomly rebooting. It took a while to troubleshoot, did the factory reset, and even got a replacement. But it kept happening when I was in the middle of recording a run, so it wouldn't save my info. Unfortunately, by the time I asked for a refund, they said I was outside the refund window. Now I'm stuck with a watch I can't use to track my runs. It also restarted at night, so sleep tracking was also bad. Would not recommend. The support staff was not really helpful either.

the screen is really small and I am farsighted, so it is hard to see anything smaller than the time. I wish they had more watch faces and options so that it would be more useful during workouts. Another thing I would prefer is the watch be larger, in general. I think it could be more fashionable. Final issue is the lack of apps that are on Fitbit that are not on pixel.

Lacking. Yes, very quick and easy to use and very user friendly, but... PLEASE add more battery saving options. Like the ability to turn off the constant running sensors and have an option to check manually. Also, it would be great to see what apps are draining what percentage of battery like on my pixel phone. Or make it easier to close apps not in use etc. I know that all users agree the Achilles heel in the pixel watch is battery life, and a lot can be done to help via software updates.

It is functional but perhaps it could do more. Maybe this is not related to to the watch app itself. But I use Google fit, Fitbit app and Nike Run Club app. I alternate their use to see different reports. My thing is it would be for all of these app be able to talk amongst themselves to share fitness reports. For an example, fit and fit Fitbit report to each other nicely. But NRC can only report fit and fit bit but those apps won't report to NRC. Other than that it's all good.

I have had my Pixel Watch for over a year. Suddenly, it has stopped tracking health stats. Specifically 12/21/23 was the last day of detail on Fitbit dashboard, It shows me some stats on the watch itself like heart rate and exercise stats. The time and type of exercise is syncing but not the energy or heart rate stats. Sleep also stopped tracking on that day. 12/29- Found a post about updating watch. That fixed my health, and broke other things. Unclear which company owns each part of device :)

People can't hear me well sometimes, or it gets staticky at times. Also, it gets really hot when you use it for exercise. It felt so hot once, it felt like it was burning me and told me to needed to be turned off to cool down. I was on the treadmill. Overall, I am liking it, but I was expecting it to be similar to a really cheap phone or at minimum the same as my fitbit. It's just slightly less than. I have the Google Pixel 2.

Setup takes an incredibly long time just to fail. Several problems cannot be resolved without performing a factory reset on the Pixel Watch and forcing you through the incredibly long setup process again (which is more likely than not to fail again). Edit: Fortunately, Google came back and told me to try the thing I've already tried 8 times. Incredible.

it's exactly what you'd expect from Fitbit worthless. I've had this thing for over a year and it's constant glitches, constant problems, recording, sleep data, heart rate, or any of the other metrics other than steps. steps seems to always work. everything else is a shot in the dark. might work today. might not work today. possibly will work tomorrow

It worked fine until today. Now the app is constantly sending notifications that the app stopped working. Whenever I try to open the app it automatically closes so I cannot do anything with it. I emailed the support email address listed above to get an auto-reply saying that they no longer monitor that email. Interesting.... May be they should remove that email above?? The app is beyond useless at this point. I'd give zero stars if I could.

1.5 star removed the battery life is so limited and the thing sucking it up (heart rate tracker) can't be turned off. This especially stinks for me bc I don't care about heart rate. Half star removed because the sleep monitor has not been accurate (logging deep sleep when I'm tossing and turning looking at the time) and you can't customize more from the app. It's not so intuitive on the watch to me. Other than that I love it!

Absolutely useless for pixel watch 2 and pixel 8 pro. I contacted support after having the watch for less than a day and solved nothing. The syncing for notifications and everything else mostly doesn't work at all. I only get text message notifications sometimes. That's literally as good as it gets. The app will show that other notifications apparently came from phone apps, but it doesn't actually send or sync them to the watch. This is such a worthless mess. I wish I hadn't bought this watch.

I like to see where I am at on everything from steps calories, zone minutes. I can also get my text messages or phone calls all on my watch. I don't use the watch for phone calls since even a quick call drains the battery on the watch quickly. I already have to charge the watch battery twice a day. My only complaint is the watch's battery life.

It would not connect (Pixel 2 watch Pixel 8 phone). Removing the Fitbit app and all cache and memory fixed this. Once paired with the watch, there was no icon for the app. It didn't show in Settings-Apps-See all apps. The only way to access the app using Google Play. I don't recall exactly how I was able to delete the app, but I think there was an option on the watch. Once deleted and reinstalled, the icon was on the phone. That's the reason for the 1 star.

It seems I've had a lot of the same issues that others are having with the phone and the watch pairing together. What I tried that seemed to work is use the charging cable for the watch and plug it into the bottom of the phone. They seem to connect pretty quickly after that and got past most of the issues that I've been dealing with for the last 2 weeks.

Upgraded from a Fitbit to a pixel watch 3. Doesn't accurately count steps. I'll be walking for a good ten minutes and no step counting. Also it doesn't sync right with the Fitbit app they'll have two different numbers. I've factory reset, restarted, deleted app and reinstalled on both phone and watch, cleared cache, fully charged, restarted watch, cleaned watch etc . Have only had this a few days and unfortunately threw the box away or I'd be returning it for a different type watch.

So much suckage packed into such a small app! Five times to install, reinstall, and reinstall and then it nags for the unlock pattern every time I go to manipulate the watch. So disappointing. Details for the dev team: Pixel 7 Pro phone, Android 14. New, OOTB Pixel Watch 1. I'd expect this to be a friction-free setup. Wasn't. Many, many Bluetooth disconnects; app freezes; blank screens. Nearly 4 hours of fiddling to finish setup. The devs are capable of better and hope to seeing better soon.

My phone is clearly connected to my watch via Bluetooth but all of sudden I can't manage it on the app? The App can't connect to the watch... Which is connected to the phone? EDIT: to be clear, the watch was previously connected and setup with my phone through the app for about a year now. All of a sudden it wasn't. I had to factory reset the watch to get it to work again.
