Its issues are fixable so long as Google stays the wearable course.
. So long as you can access the Play Store and download the Google Pixel Watch and Fitbit apps, you’re good. The only phone users the Pixel Watch excludes are folks on iOS. I was also satisfied with the Pixel Watch’s smart features. Google Assistant was easy to set up, and it’s a heck of a lot better than Bixby. Using it to make calls, send texts, or figure out the weather was easy and efficient. I also used it to turn on my two smart lights.
All in all, nothing blew my mind as both Samsung and Apple have done this already and done it better. For example, Apple’s handwashing timer is also automatic, whereas you have to manually start Google’s version by hunting through the app menu or swiping to a Tile. Samsung and Apple’s contactless payment shortcuts are smoother. You only have to long-press a button.
on the Pixel Watch. Despite Samsung’s claims on the Galaxy Watch 5, I got a similar amount on my 40mm review unit. Meanwhile, Apple has been getting around 18–24 hours on its Series watches for a long time. But I was surprised by how fast the battery drains with normal usage. Sure, you’ll be able to get 24 hours if you take concerted battery-saving efforts — but that’s the rub. It requires you to make a conscious effort.
The caveat here is that Fitbit is not for hardcore athletes. It never has been. Fitbit’s platform has always been best suited for casual activity and beginners looking to build better fitness habits in a gentle, holistic way. This can be a pro or a con, depending on what you’re looking for.On the one hand, this heavy reliance on Fitbit gets you FDA-cleared EKGs, excellent sleep tracking, industry-leading stress management, and good recovery features.
Likewise, there was a noticeable lag in the Android Fitbit app with regard to logging my Active Zone Minutes for a 55-minute evening run. Based on my heart rate data, I’d expected about 90–110 AZM. Instead, I was given 66 AZM. It showed up accurately in the iOS Fitbit app syncing to my account, but the number didn’t update correctly on my Pixel 7 Pro until noon the next day. I asked Fitbit and Google why these issues might have happened but have not yet received a response.
