Watch Out!

The Pixel Watch 3 will reportedly be out in a few weeks - INFO HERE. Anyone planning on moving up from the original or 2? What is your biggest motivation for upgrading?

No plans to upgrade from my PW2. Does all that I need.

Pretty darned happy with my PW2, I like the size and weight of it.
Same with my 8 pro and buds pro, looks like I'll be skipping this round as I find no compelling reason to upgrade besides new and shiny.

What does 2 offer over 1 and what will 3 offer over 1 and 2. And while we are at it, what will 4 offer over the others? Yes, I'm stagnant at PW1 and reasonably satisfied.

So far, me too. Honestly, I'm wondering what it would take - beyond some unexpected catastrophe with my PW1 - to change my mind. I'm certainly open to it, but so far haven't seen anything (including non-Pixel smart watches) I thought was compelling enough for my (up to now) pretty basic usage case (time/date, weather, notifications, steps, heart, health).

I don't need a brighter display. Nor faster charging since overnight does it for me. I, also, don't see any really compelling features at this point in my NON-running career and after sleeping with it for the first month or so of ownership - unnecessary.

I need wireless charging. That would make me switch. And possibly the bigger size as long as it doesn't look giant.

Well, I don't know what I jinxed. Suddenly I have miserable battery life from PW1. The last few days (not quite a week, I don't think), I am down to about 7% by early evening. In the past I would have 30-50% at around 9pm. I think there was an update other than that I did not change anything EXCEPT it is now paired with the Pixel Fold 9. I have restarted it once or twice with no change.

Any ideas?

No issues with my PW1 - in fact, I am actually getting better battery life since the last update. I wonder if you have some sort of phone un-pairing/re-pairing glitch? Because it is relatively easy and painless, I would try a factory reset on the watch.

Well, as I think I reported elsewhere, Battery Life is still in the toilet after a factory reset. And since it did not offer a restore from backup, nothing inappropriate (apps, etc) was restored. Pretty much naked reset. Battery life after a day that way was no better than before the restore.

Anybody got a link to Google support. Either their forum or google itself?
