Pixel Watch

Lots of specs where the Pixel watch comes out ahead, some noted in my post above. Consider that Apple charges several hundred more for a stainless steel body....

Value is in the mind of the buyer, though. I have a Watch 3 which I have enjoyed, and I don't know whether I'd prefer to update to the Pixel Watch or Watch 5, if either. Going to wait on reviews, but do know that Pixel phones are, for me, routinely far better with lower spec than Samsung devices (I "upgraded" from a Pixel 3 XL to a 2-year newer Samsung S20 FE 5g and found it a downgrade in experience in every respect other than battery life and display quality).

If I were still using a Samsung phone, though, I'd almost certainly go with the Samsung watch. If I used an iPhone, an Apple watch. Being as I'm back with Pixel and going with an update there, though, if I do move, it'll more likely be to the Google watch unless they really screwed something up.

For me that isn't the case. I use my, atm, watch5pro whether I am using my Samsung Phones, pixel or OP10 Pro. You do you but not everyone matches their watch brands to their phones.

Oh, I agree wholeheartedly. There's no mandate to maintain the same brand; I was just alluding to the benefit of doing so as there are some features with Samsung watches that only work with Samsung phones, and the same for Pixel phones with Pixel watches.

I haven't found the features yet that don't work with a Samsung watch. All of the samsung health features as far as heart rate, steps, snore detection, sleep, blood oxygen, calls, etc.. work

This was helpful for me - definitely some things I wouldn't have found (at least for a while) that can enhance my experience.

This video should be a sticky all by it's self. It's very useful and explains on how to save the battery.
