There are many smartwatches out there, but if you are a Google Pixel aficionado, you must have it, right? Keep in mind that this is a first generation device, so there are some flaws, as manufacturers rarely get things 100% right on the first try.

Boasting a round, pebble-shaped design that is both minimalist and elegant, the Pixel Watch is aimed at those who prefer smaller devices with its 41mm size.

Despite its attractive aesthetic and fitness tracking capabilities via Fitbit integration, the Pixel Watch faces criticism for its all-day battery life and proprietary band swap mechanism.

However, the device received mixed reactions, mainly due to its small size, which may not appeal to everyone, and the use of the outdated Exynos 9110 processor, affecting performance compared to other watches smart devices like Samsung's Galaxy Watch 5 series. Despite these disadvantages, the Pixel Watch stands out with its premium stainless steel construction, offering durability and a variety of strap options for customization.

From a software point of view, the Pixel Watch integrates Fitbit for fitness tracking, but has some first-gen issues, including stuttering and occasional performance bugs. Although Google has made efforts to refine the experience through updates, the smartwatch still lags behind competitors like Apple and Samsung in terms of smoothness and feature integration.
