    Anyone have one?

    Have mine two days - liking it so far but not finding battery brilliant.

    Was planning to charge overnight and wear small Fitbit for sleep tracking but it seems not to be possible to have two devices on one fitbit account, which means having to charge the watch at some point each day.

    Coming from a moto360 which I found brilliant except for appalling battery life.

    I really like it and I don't do sleep tracking so battery has been totally fine for me. Few people have commented how nice it looks.

    I sold mine and upgraded my Garmin. My Garmin probably does all the fitness stuff a bit better than the pixel watch, and does have notifications and assistant, but I'm sure it's nowhere near as slick as you'd find on the pixel watch.

    The main reason for me is that I get 4 or 5 days of battery life with the Garmin, and I'd have to charge at least once per day with the Pixel Watch. I use sleep tracking, and I guess that's something I'd have to give up if I got a Pixel Watch. From what I gather, if you're going to use the Pixel Watch for 30-60 mins of GPS exercise tracking, you'd struggle to make it through the day. When you're looking at something worth almost €400, there shouldn't be major sacrifices.

    I know it's subjective, but I don't really like the look of the Pixel Watch. It looks very fragile, and I'd be constantly worried about scratching it.

    I'll wait to see what they come up with on future iterations.

    I like the Garmin's but find a lot of them too bulky.

    I have been sleep tracking and typically do 1hr of excercise each day and I fine I'm doing two short charges immediately before bed and again before excercise, which admittedly isn't great. The cable being usb C on the other end means it's not easy to top up from the office etc either.

    I like the look of it and its comfortable, if battery was improved (twice capacity) I'd be delighted so I'm a bit on the fence at the moment

    Battery aside reviews have been mostly positive..I guess it depends on what you want the watch for.

    I'm considering it myself as I need an upgrade on my to watch but hoping for a black Friday reduction
