Second gen. Pixel Watch. Not expecting anything groundbreaking tbh, but skipped the first one and have $$$ burning a hole in my pocket.
I want to love a smart watch but i just don't feel like they're worth it tbh
I have the Samsung Watch4 and it's cool and all but the battery life sucks (lasts like a day max) and i don't get any really useful information from it that is accurate enough for me to use
I just ended up using it to see notifications and changing the music but i feel like i could have done that for a lot less than $250.
Is there a use case that i might be missing out on? What do you use them for?
Pebble was one of the good ones. I've gotten an inexpensive one running Android Wear, but I find myself seldom wearing it compared to my dumb watch. I wore my Pebble every day since it could last a damn week or more without charging, and the screen was very pleasant to the eyes.
Haha I feel that. My Casio digital watch is all i use nowadays
Charging is too much of a hassle for me for what i get in return
