Yea but can you swop out a crap battery for one that will last longer than one day?.

The battery in the last two generation of Pixel watches lasts much longer than one day. I get around 2+ days easily on them. It’s the best smartwatch battery I have ever had, short of something like the Pebble or a Garmin. And they charge really fast.

@GravageI’ve got the oneplus3 and it’s running wear os and my battery lasts 5/6 days, I think that is considerably better than the pixel watch

companies only care about selling more, they don’t care about the environment or e-waste as long as they make more money. & consumers enabled them.
