Out with the old
Introduced in October 2022, the Google Pixel Watch was a great first smartwatch for the company. But it has been improved upon not once but twice, with plenty of features, functions, and usability upgrades that make this one outdated and worth upgrading from.
For
- Compatible with older versions of Android
- Made of stainless steel
Against
- Still pretty expensive
- Only comes in one size
- Older version of Wear OS
- Battery drains quickly with always-on display
- Not as much screen real estate, not as bright
