r/PixelWatch

I've literally never gotten an actual reading aside when I put it on my knee which came back regular sinus rhythm. (Read that in some post)

Anyone know why? Or what's going on

This feature seems to be hit and miss no matter how quickly I start talking when I raise or pause before I speak, or I crease volume. Nothing seems to activate it, only once in awhile will it actually do anything?

Anybody else have any insight on what they do to get this to actually work each time?

Edit: I just adjusted the sensitivity up to the highest level and even then, only sometimes, will the indicator show at the bottom of the screen and even when the indicator is showing it doesn't register any voice.

Again, this is very inconsistent and sometimes it works but most of the time it is not

Apologies if already posted.

For those who don't know, DCRainmaker is one of the most thorough testers of sports watches, and he's been doing it for years. In his latest comparison with the competition, PW5 actually came out best for GPS performance.

For those who don't want to read the whole article he does summaries at the end.

I got the original pixel watch when it first came out, and since then I've never felt an upgrade was worth the price. However, I've just noticed I can get money for my old watch on a trade-in, and between that and store credit, the Pixel Watch 5 would cost around £150, but I'm still on the fence.

So, do you think there is a big enough upgrade to justify the price. What are the best things about the later watches that aren't available in the original.

I already use the Fitbit Air for my workouts which I've been very. happy with, so unless the new watch is massively better than that, I'm looking for non-fitness related reasons.

Thanks in advance for any help and advice

I am not sure how many others have reported this issue but it's my turn. I'll be a bit surprised if no one has this issue.

I've been using the watch for quite a bit now and recently got back into running and started using the watch as the primary run tracker.

After the fitbit app got changed over to the google Health app. The app has stopped showing GPS data on a map, watch pace tracking is horrible. I prefer not to run with my phone on me.

Yesterday I completed a 5km run, the Health app shows somewhat correct data. I turned on Syncing for Strava and saw the watch cut my run into 4.2kms, I saw the GPS dropped out twice during the run. (I always wait for the watch GPS to connect before beginning the run). It's a non-cellular version of the pixel watch 4.

I am not sure how good the support team is with handling these issues. They usually will ask to reset the watch fully and check updates.

Hello, I just received my pixel watch 5 in the mail.

I am having trouble pairing my watch to my phone as Everytime I go into the app I get hit with the message "this pixel watch is incompatible with this app version" been with support for 2 hour and all I'm getting is "reset the watch and turn your phone off" things I've done plenty of times.

For reference I have a pixel 10 pro, on the newest update of the OS, the play store is up to date, and my watch app is updated as much as possible.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thank you

Has anybody already tried out the Bellroy Leather Strap from the official Google Store?

Looks quite delicious in that Terracotta color way 😅.

It's a combination of Polymer and Leather. Don't know what to think about it. In Germany it's 80 Euros - so not cheap at all...

Are the Pixel watch 5 bands compatible with the Pixel Watch 5?

Will the pixel watch 4 get the same features as the watch 5

Google has claimed the Watch 5 features a class-leading 40 hours of battery life, and the new health tracking apps now include blood-pressure monitoring and Breathing Emergency Detection, which is able to automatically contact emergency services while sharing your location.

Hi all,

I'd love to try some new bands, I see the common recs here throughout the sub, most are North American. Anyone from Europe or Sweden have experience with any bands they would recommend (amazon or other preferably). I would like to try a metal and/or leather band on my P4 45mm. Tack!

Hello guys, I've just noticed now that the Gemini client on my Pixel Watch 3 (which a few days ago updated to the one with the new look - unsure if it's directly related to that though) no longer understands commands (or anything at all, really) in Italian, which is set as my second language in the Gemini app on my phone (English being the main language).

I'm quite sure Gemini used to understand whatever language you spoke to it, even those not set as primarily nor secondary.

Why has this changed recently? Is it a bug? Am I the only one affected, or are you guys seeing the same issue?

Thank you!
