Copy King, 09 Jun 2022Irony. Android fanboys say Apple iOS copy everything. ... moreoh please, how did they copy apple this time? the rotating dial on the side? that watches have had since before smart watches where a thing?
and don't say its the design of the body, because apple didn't exactly invent the concept of "minimalism"

          My Amazfit Band 5 could do that 🤦🏻‍♂️

            Charging the watch one time or two times a day as in this case will be another stress for me beside charging the phone!So,as in this case I will never think buying a dead expensive "toy" for my wrist!

                  A band for 60 dollars does exactly the same thing as this and many have a battery life of a week, until that happens I don't spend more than 100 dollars on smart watches, but stupid in the main

                    Isn't Smart Unlock already part of other Android OEMs. Google is always late in providing features.

                      I have said long ago, this is the only way forwards for android, not taizenOS or any custom ones. Else its better to just buy health bands like fitbit.

                      But Google took too long to focus on this.. Now they are just learning, while WatchOS is already moving light years ahead in optimisation.

                        Irony.

                        Android fanboys say Apple iOS copy everything.

                        And here Google is copying Apple watch, Apple iPadOS, and Apple MacOS.

                        But that's ok, Apple did this secretly with iOS/iPadOS/WatchOS/MacOS.. while Android only work on their mobile phone section. Now they are sorely lacking in the other segments.

                          upto 1 day battery life... the rest is just nonsense even if the watch could fly you to mars :)

                            The lack of comments in this article shows no interest at all. Smartwatches are for getting notifications and you can do that by buying any cheap smartwatch.
                            They are not good at tracking fitness yet.

                              I've seen many smart watches with great battery life.
                              So what makes pixel watch drains battery too much?
