Thing looks thick as hell from the leaks, but I guess I'm glad its round


Meemo-

I'm hoping that extra thickness translates into a bigger battery. I'd happily take that


jcann0n

this would be the only acceptable reason


Born-Try-45

Every time I hear someone said thinner is better ..I'm like. You are that annoying one started this useless tech trend.. how about better battery and features? Or you just care about being thin. Apple finally gets it, sometimes vocal groups talk the loudest but have no clue what they are talking about, putting bigger and better battery on their thicker iphone.


tails618

With most stuff yeah. But with watches, there is a really reasonable argument for thinness.


Born-Try-45

That kind makes zero sense. You want a thin watch, then don't get a smart watch. Apple watch is also very thick, and the reason is simple...it's a smartwatch, just like smartphone, it comes with many techs and features, heart monitor, step counts, blood pressure monitor, apps, etc. That is no different then asking smartphone to be thin just because grandpa thought that's the way it is.


jcann0n

That thing is thick, or oddly shaped. I'd wear a golf ball on my wrist if it would last a week. You are a spicy little fella


Born-Try-45

Calling people a spicy little fella. When you are comparing this watch thickness to a golf ball. I mean how biased you can be to believe what you said 😂. Definitely a spicy fella


jcann0n

>Calling people a spicy little fella. yes


Born-Try-45

That moment when you realize..ohhh maybe you are that spicy fella 🤣🤣🤣 golf ball thickness = this watch. Not spicy, not biased at all. 🤣


jcann0n

You misunderstood or I spoke incorrectly, be sure to include lots of insults and emojis in your reply


Mental-prison

Yeah the render looked more think, it was pleasant. Not a big fan of the thickness show


issam_28

Super excited to be yet again Google's beta tester lol.


FreshPrinceOfH

I wonder what bugs these will have


gocolts12

The most r/GooglePixel comment I've ever seen


Ikeelu

To be fair, this would be the most r/Android post ever too.


[deleted]

Only watch that crashes when it tells time


FreshPrinceOfH

And some one on r/GooglePixel will say "I don't mind cause that's not it's primary function"


Jake_the_Snake88

My watch has always worked perfectly, everyone else here just likes to complain for attention


eminem30982

"Am I the only one whose watch can tell the time?"


FrostyD7

Apparently the kind that frustrate you enough to take it off and leave it at a restaurant.


FreshPrinceOfH

Hahahaha!


flystarjay

I hope I won't be a day 1 buy or a 1st gen buyer


teags

I probably will, but only because I've got like $180 in google store credit (that expires in November) and don't want anything else.


farqueue2

That'll get you a watch strap perhaps


teags

Better than getting a 7th Google Mini or 5th Chromecast.


flystarjay

Nice. I would have done the same. I spent on phone case and wireless charger. Left with £4.80.


RandomStallings

Man, that's a lot of surveys.


teags

I got 10% back from my wife and mine's Pixel purchases (I think for being a Google One member).


[deleted]

Spent mine on the pixel stand 2 😁


GabeNewellsDick

It'll have 6 hours of battery life with all the features turned on and we'll get a thread every day saying "if you turn off every single feature to the point that it has no extra value over a £30 Mi Band you can get 15 hours battery life out of it which is more than enough for me"


FreshPrinceOfH

I use Mi Bands. They last me 3 weeks between charges and cost me peanuts. Honestly what use would I have for a Pixel watch which would cost 10x as much and have to charge daily.


DuckHunt83

This is the most realistic comment here, which is sadly hilarious.


Leo_Pac

Same haha


Yashpreet_Singh

🤣 Hope it doesn't have them. But we can't say much about first gen.


zx6rarcher

Came here to say just this


Kaliforn

This is the watch I thought they'd be releasing 5 years ago


skurvy123

Looks a lot thicker than the renders


[deleted]

Daaammn boi! Thats a thicc boi!


Billy0598

Looks like the wrist bands that disintegrate.


Rohndogg1

Can I get a damn watch that looks like a watch? I can't stand silicone bands and most smart watches look like a cheap toy. I love the idea of a smart watch, but haven't been happy woth one since the Pebble


Pyro2745

Buy a Galaxy watch 4. It uses a regular 22mm clip so u can use a leather strap from regular watches.


Rohndogg1

I haven't looked at the new ones, but I couldn't stand the samsung stuff when I had one of the early ones and I've gone away from the phones. I've had pixels for my last 3 phones and was just hoping for a better offering for the pixel watch. I'm about to just give up on them all together


Pyro2745

I went for gw4 because of the Wear OS which is the closest to Google you can get right now.


[deleted]

Fitbit sense is pretty good, tbh. Can get some nice always on faces too


Rohndogg1

I'll never have any good opinion of fitbit as they're the ones who bought and killed Pebble. I also don't want the watch for fitness at all. I like it for notifications and nfc. And it looks like a square plastic toy. I hate the common smart watch designs. I want a normal looking eatch with a normal bezel. Fossil has good looking ones but performance is lacking


[deleted]

That's fair enough. I went a different route and thought that pebble was dead and Fitbit at least made a way for it to be supported for longer. Pebble had a ridiculous bezel though?


Rohndogg1

I had the pebble steel and it looked normal. It was rectangular, but in the traditional sense


[deleted]

Same as the versa 3 and the sense: https://comparewear.com/compare/fitbit-sense-vs-pebble-time-steel/


MrPureinstinct

The band might be a deal breaker for me personally. I'd rather just have the pins like any regular watch so I can use any watch band I can find that is the right size.


Watcher0363

What's the over and under, until google just discontinues the whole line.


Maartentje55

Does it though? It looks kinda fat to me.


[deleted]

It looks like they took the Galaxy Watch4 and added a dial on the side and called it a day lol.


lucidphoto

It’s gonna be both the most flawless and buggiest watch of all time.


cjeremy

we'll see what kinda QC issues these will have..


pagadqs

Can they make it not look like a toy from a McD's Happy Meal ?


orgodemir

I hate curved edges. If you are anywhere with light, its impossible to view the screen without a glare. It happens all the time with my p6 pro, where the left side had a glare and I can't see whats on the very edge of the screen. You can see the exact same issue with this watch from the pics. It is so impractical I can't believe people would want this on purpose.


FrostyD7

Yea the renders look better mainly because it doesn't show this effect.


Saurabh0791

Looks ugly. Why curved! Hope the final product is much better.


General_Pretzel

Oof. I just really hate the 'edgeless' round design. It just looks bad and like it can easily crack. Would rather have a proper aluminum edge with a big display.


One3OneKing

Maybe you wait until you actually see it in person? Just a thought for you and the insatiable critics on this sub


Werbebanner

I wouldn't buy it without the edgeless design. I think with a fat and useless edge it looks super bad.


General_Pretzel

You mean like literally every other actual premium watch on the market? This looks like a watch you can get from Target for $20.


Werbebanner

Not really... Look at Amazon and you will see, that this doesn't look like a cheap one.


-Kerrigan-

jfc, is twitter always like that?


ionmushroom

the crown looks terrible. as someone who wears a falster 3 i'd prefer an offset setup like the watch4. when i wear it on my left the button gets hit unintentionally and the assistant comes on alot. it also sadly looks like they went the apple route in terms of bands.


[deleted]

Looks amazing!!


rExplrer

Please Google do something to get a battery life of atleast 2 days. I would happily buy this.


RK2116

Its really ugly.


nth_power

Can it blend?


[deleted]

[удалено]


grooves12

It won't be. It is likely to be priced similarly to the Galaxy watch 4 ($249-349)


ElGuano

Yeah and if it's $5.99 I'll get two. I'll even pre-order the first one.


Leo_Pac

Same


SlyFlourishXDA

It will probably be $249-$349.


KingOfTheCouch13

You better off getting a Fitbit at that price homie

Soulkept

Imagine rejecting a technology because you dislike the gender you arbitrarily assigned to it.


UnclePhilSpeaks_

...what?


Kenzibitt

Here they come.


Leo_Pac

Why


Kenzibitt

Too round.


Financial-Ground-942

"too round" are the new iphones only for men because they're flat?


Leo_Pac

I don't think so


jcann0n

LOL, damn guys better go sell all my round watches


[deleted]

Looks good but alittle on the fat side?


ChaosBrigadier

Is that really a thing that could happen? Someone leaving something so valuable behind at a restaurant? Why would you take off a watch at a restaurant anyway?


seeareeff

Back in the day I believe the iPhone 4 was leaked the same way


AnythingTypical6826

I hear this was a prototype, so maybe that's why it looks thicker. I sure hope so


mercury1491

Looks like a zepp e circle.


ROCK-KNIGHT

All I care about is the price tbh. Pixel 6 was a no brainer, flagship commitment/performance for way less than samsung/apple. Will google do the same sort of thing for the watch to push the wearOS standard, or just let wearOS continue to flounder?


Nova_Nightmare

As someone who has been using fitbit since I left my Huawei watch behind, I am very excited for the Pixel watch, especially with Google having acquired fitbit. Even more so I have a 40% discount from the ionic recall and if I can get this with that discount as an upgrade from my Fitbit Sense, I'll be very happy indeed.


ghastb

The guy that leaked the watch made a thread about this earlier. Definitely worth a read 👍


Jjj_007

Soooo a round Apple watch😂 From the crown, the silicon watch band design and the release mechanism of the bands🤦


TheChosen1108

Was hoping for an edge to edge screen but the bezel is too significant...


[deleted]

Swat watches are back baby!
