Looking for deals on PW2 for Black Friday and came across this. $300+ less than the new one is pretty compelling. Cheaper than when it was on deal earlier this year (that was $357 from memory). This is likely to be the Google shop promo for BF that they are teasing.
If I could get a PW2 at around 300-350 I'd jump on it. PW1 probably needs to be $150 before I'd get it. Worth a test at that price
I think the only real thing that's pretty polarising is how small the size is, from a tech perspective it's a pretty good package battery ok on the newer one but they're probably going to release a full sized pro version in the future to differentiate.
It's worth an extra couple of hundred for an unopened one on marketplace over this.
wow - great deal !!!
Had one for two weeks , hated it.
Required 3hours charging per day.
Have Samsung watch 5 pro now, much better 3-4 days battery with screen always on( except during sleep).
Weird, I used mine consistently for a full day and charged at night without any issues. Maybe yours had a faulty battery or something?
Why is charging each day an issue. I've never understood this issue people have. Like you're not wearing it 24hrs a day.
For some of us, one of the main benefits of a smart watch is the ability to track your sleep, can hardly do that if you are charging the watch while you sleep…
Yep, I alternate between a Garmin Forerunner and a Galaxy 5pro LTE and I only ever charge them while I'm in the shower and I never have issues.
Garmin goes days without needing charging, Samsung gets a daily top up and is almost never 100% but it gets me to my next shower.
What do you guys with battery issues on your Pixel Watches do with them?
I easily get 1 day out of mine, put on the charger at night before bed and it's about half battery left. Have got a day and a half plenty of times before when away from a charger.
I'd have screen on wake/notification on any smart watch I'd own. Always on seems like an overkill
I use two chargers - one at home and one at work - so I can do a top up for 30 min if ever needed. But do I long for the days of my week-long batter on my Pebble watch (RIP)
apart from the battery life - which i get is an issue, is there anything else that would compel you to get a PW2 rather than PW1? I think I can handle the charging issue
PW2 LTE going for 400-450 unopened on Facebook marketplace as they were giving them away, think that's a better buy tbh.
