new GW8 44mm vs used grade A PW4 45mm with Xiaomi phone
I'm trying to decide between two smartwatch options and would really appreciate some advice.
- Brand new Galaxy Watch 8 for ~€240 (6000 CZK)
- Used Pixel Watch 4 (Grade A) for ~€320 (8000 CZK)
I like the design of PW4 more.
I don't mind buying used hardware, but I'm a bit worried about the battery health of the Pixel Watch since it's pre-owned. Battery life is probably my biggest concern.
I use a Xiaomi phone, so I'm also wondering if that changes which watch would be the better choice.
One thing I really like about the Galaxy Watch 8 is the customization of the Tiles. Can you customize the Tiles on the Pixel Watch 4 in a similar way, or is it more limited?
Is the Pixel Watch 4 also prone to cracking or breaking because of its curved glass design, or has Google improved its durability?
Which one would you pick, and why? Has anyone here bought a Grade A Pixel Watch before? How was the battery life?
