Fuck you Google. I buy your premium pro phones and watches (that you barely improve) and you want me to pay for basic features like PiP or the sleep timer?
Don't be surprised that I use smartube, pipepipe, newpipe and others instead.
Since you mentioned watch, I was surprised that rumours said that Pixel Watch 3 will come with 24 Hr battery life, same as PW 2. That is even below Samsung, much less Oneplus or Ticwatch. Plus, they lock much data behind Fitbit's paywall after granting a six month free subscription, I believe.
Wtf are they doing.
The Fitbit paywall is bullshit too. I don't miss it at all with my pw1.
I have the first Google home with the screen. The second generation with sleep tracking looked nice but you need a monthly subscription... For using the damn sensor that you bought.
For the watches, it's a shame that Google doesn't seem to do anything to improve the amount of apps. There's almost no apps for wearos. Maybe they could bribe some popular apps for a wearos version. Maybe try to create a momentum.
I like having a smart watch but it's basically just for notifications, "fitness", the weather and seeing my next calendar event.
