Revisiting the Google PixelWatch has reminded me why I love smartwatches and all the associated benefits. But also why I don't love the Pixel Watch.
I was disappointed with the Pixel Watch when I first used it, something that’s made very clear in my Google Pixel Watch review. Following that, I wanted to give the Pixel Watch a little space before going back and giving it another try — just in case my opinion softened, or feature updates arrived to make it a better purchase.
They haven’t. The Pixel Watch is just too small. Dainty, even. That’s fine if you want a dainty smartwatch, but not if it looks like you’ve picked the wrong size when it’s on your wrist. Like wearing a medium t-shirt when you usually choose an extra large. Samsung, Apple, and Huawei all solve this problem by offering two sizes, so I can pick the one that looks best on me.
I’ll just wear another one I like smartwatches and get a lot of value from wearing them. The Pixel Watch is a decent smartwatch and wearing it has only reminded me about what I really like about them. The sleep data, tracking workouts, making sure I stay vaguely active, and not always having to check my phone to see an incoming message are all big, positive aspects for me. But the Pixel Watch’s shortcomings just make me turn to the Galaxy Watch 5 or the Apple Watch.
Steps are an outdated way of monitoring daily activity, and Fitbit’s Active Zone minutes require my heart rate to be high, and that only comes with exercise. I’ll accept that some people will find this motivational, but for those who aren’t athletes or really into fitness, it will do the opposite. Apple and Samsung’s system works for more people more of the time.
No, you don’t have to pay, but all the data behind Fitbit’s paywall is available for free with other smartwatches. A 40mm Galaxy Watch 5 will cost $280 on January 1, 2023 , and that won’t increase at all. I just can’t see any reason why you wouldn’t do this instead.
