Google Pixel Watch review TL;DR: The tech giant's new wearable is already the second most sought-after smartwatch, but it's not quite as polished as Apple's market-leading Watch Series (yet). It's an excellent Apple Watch alternative for Android – especially Pixel smartphone – users.
Google has a long history of abandoning projects they spent tons of money on (just search 'killed by google' online). They don't mind dedicating resources to develop products and services that may or may not work out; after all, some of these are on top of their respective fields (e.g. Google Maps). Other times, Google (or, more like, its parent company, Alphabet) will assimilate other brands and use their R&D to develop their own products.
