I use my phone for Maps, Music, Google Questions, and a couple of texts when I am out and about. To me this little device seems like a no brainer. You can literally carry everything you need If you were to go shopping for groceries, going out to clubs, etc. The advantage is that you can't lose it and It's way less weight in your pockets. But the $400 price tag is a bit high for some minor convenience.

I guess it depends how much the convenience is worth to you and your pocket haha. Anything can be seen as not worth it

Hi great review. Can you clarify on the LTE watch do you need to install a seperate SIM in addition to your phone or does it somehow communicate with your phone to make calls?

Thank you. You will need an eSIM to use the LTE feature

@@GadgetsBoy I'm not so familiar with eSIMs. Does this mean you've got 2 different phone numbers? One as normal on your phone and another new phone number on the watch? You have to pay for 2 phone numbers / data plans each month?

Best to go ask your provider they will explain it to you. You don’t get a new number it’s an eSIM designed for your watch which would be linked to your phone

@@GadgetsBoy I think I get it, the eSIM is virtual and is downloaded to the watch. It's linked to your phone account and let's your share the data from the phone plan on the watch.

Don Grose - I've been asking the same question so I called Verizon (my carrier). They said it's $35 to activate the watch with no extra sim card and $5 additional on my monthly plan (I have an unlimited data plan). I hope that helps.

It absolutely is not a Fitbit. I had a Fitbit Sense that lasted maybe 2 years. The fit and finish of my pixel watch is miles about the cheap plastic of a Fitbit. The beauty of google is the software. I expect google will improve this first gen watch as time goes on. Can't wait for the CO2 sensor to activate

How is the vibration motor? I found the GW4 and GW5 really weak. I missed notifications when my phone was on silent so i had to return those Samsung watches.

Can we use it using BT/WIFI instead of LTE? I know they sell another model, but I want to know if there is an option to always use BT/WIFI if I want to.

good question, I've ordered the LTE (comes free with a Pixel 7 Pro in the UK right now) but I'd assumed WiFi /BT would also be on the LTE. Very difficult to find details from google. In their product descriptions they extrapolate everything up to user benefits rather than explaining the tech
