I've had several android smartwatches over the years, with varying levels of success and enjoyment.
Most recently I've had the pixel series, the pixel watch 1 was good until it got wet and died. I had a fitbit with color screen(forget which one) but it also suffered a watery death.
I have a pixel watch 2 that I used alongside a pine time for m 2 or 3 years, and honestly I really loved that combo. I wore the pixel watch on my days off, and the pine time to work, where it took a lot of abuse. But I loved it's week long battery life.
But the pine time always had little issues, heart rate not working consistently, weather not updating... Almost ever. But then sometimes it would? But then it would break again.
But the biggest problem was connectivity. Both my pixel watch 2, and pine time, started disconnecting randomly during the day. Eventually I stopped trusting that messages would actually show up on my watch. Eventually it was basically disconnected 100% of the time, and I was wearing a stupid little screen for no reason.
I reset the watches, I reset the phone, tried a different phone entirely. Checked all the battery settings etc. No dice. It would SEEM to work, but then randomly disconnect at some point during the day, never to return unless manually set.
But this pebble watch? Not only does it last a solid 5 days for me, but it does it with many of the features similar to pixel watch. And they all just work.
For the first time in forever, my watch stays connected all day, and my weather is updated, and messages come through, it's amazing.
No complaints from me, a very happy customer.
