Here's everything you need to know about the upcoming Google Pixel Watch 2 specs, including ultra-wideband, a new chipset, and more.
Use the snapdragon w5 gen 1, no more tensor on the wearables for now.

I really like mine, but the battery left a lot to be desired. For day to day I just use one of the smaller fit bits now that have like 10 days of battery. Now I only take the watch when I'm going on trips or driving long distances since the notification system is far superior. If they came with a decent battery life bump I'd be all over a new iteration.
Yea I get roughly a day out of mine. If I don't charge it in the mornings it won't make it through the day. I'd love to get a couple days out of it.
Eh that’s how my Apple Watch is and I don’t mind because I charge my phone every night as well.
A day is fine, more than a day is nice but not necessary, less than a day is unacceptable.
Well when using it for sleep monitoring it means I can't charge it overnight. It doesn't charge quick enough to get a full day while charging in the shower or something so it's inconvenient
After coming from a fitbit, I put it on charge and then forget to put it back on. The wireless charging makes it slow. The versa would charge in 30m
I've recently changed to a Fitbit Versa 2 after having a Huawei Android Wear for years until it literally fell apart. The Huawei never lasted more than a day, but I can get 2-3 with the Versa, which means I can use it for sleep tracking. Charging up only takes 30 minutes or so, so every few days I just pop it in for a bit. I ended up never using most of the features of the Android, so the Fitbit does me fine. The only thing I miss is the "now playing", but I can live with that.
I have used mostly Xiaomi bands, I'm currently wearing a Redmi Band 2. It is not a smartwatch, it's just a fitness tracker, but it can also control media, take photos and receive notifications, and lasts 10 days between charges. That's all I care about (for now). When smartwatches batteries get better I may consider a full fledged one.
I think a lot of people take it off at night, allowing them to charge it for the next day, making the battery issue less important. It sucks for those that want to track their sleep though.
I know my ticwatch only lasts 2 days under light usage, so I make sure to charge it every night. But I don't care to track my sleep, so I'm one of the people it doesn't matter for.
This is missing one of the most awesome features of these devices - vibration wake up alarm. It is literally life changing, and doubly so when your partner is using it. 🥲
I don't use alarms either, I'm one of those annoying people who just wakes up on time lol
Not sure whether to be happy for you or sad. 😄
I bought some really nice watch off Temu for $12 and it lasts days. I didn't know if id wear a smartwatch, so i started with that. It's lasts probably 5-7days. I've heard a lot of great reviews on garmins compared to Samsung, pixel, etc. I don't care about all the fancy stuff, just want the time, steps, and texts.
