Smartwatch

Good7/10Mid-range

The Pixel Watch has matured into a solid Wear OS watch with good Fitbit tracking, though battery life and past durability worries trail Samsung. Fitbit's role is shrinking to simple trackers, and subscription upsells annoy some owners.

Good at

  • Clean Wear OS with Gemini and Google apps
  • Fitbit health and sleep tracking built in
  • Pixel Watch 4 is designed to be repairable
  • Fitbit trackers are cheap and simple

Weak at

  • Android only; no iPhone support
  • Some Fitbit insights need a Premium subscription
  • Forced Fitbit-to-Google account migration upset owners
  • Fitbit smartwatch range largely wound down
