How can a person consider themselves a reviewer and at the same time, have issues connecting the bands on these smart watches. It takes me literally 8 seconds to swap them out. Maybe she really wasn’t trying.

It was actually difficult for me the first time admittedly, but once you get it, it’s super easy
@archangel115

@1meen1 I agree with you completely. But this is the reason why I think some reviewers, especially those that are exclusive Apple users, aren’t really invested in the product so their experience will be compromised. That’s why I would trust someone who actually uses the product and not someone who just needs to do a job.

@archangel115I do agree that after a month is odd to still have an issue unless you have some sort of wrist issue

May be relatable to a lot of people outside of you.

6:50 – There is no real health data on any of these watches. Real health data is diagnostics and treatments that you receive from a hospital. These “smart” watches have none of that real health data, so it’s a moot point and an irrelevant concern. The watch just has very incomplete sets of data of exercises and sleep. You can all too easily fudge the data by feeding in fake inputs, so the watch’s data is wildly inaccurate for sleep and exercise.

I want to know why I STILL can’t sync my timers between my phone (pixel 10 pro xl) to my watch (pixel watch 4). The most basic function of a smart watch

Just realized this over the holiday as I just got my watch. I set a timer on my phone thinking it would also appear on my watch

Works fine on my setup. Try uninstall updates on the Pixel alarm then updating it again. I had to do that once when I repaired it from a different device.
@HawkLad

Works fine for me
@1meen1
December 1, 2025 at 11:30 pm
@Betancourtdmyou’re right. I didn’t know I had to manually update the apps on the watch. The option came up on my phone

@1meen1Nice. You shouldn’t have to but once in a while things go awry

New fitbit models will be released next year

Yes, a full Fitbit Coach review would be great.
@Betancourtdm
December 1, 2025 at 7:36 pm
It ks neat, but it makes the fitbit app soooooo wordy in every single screen. I hope they find a way to streamline it.

@Betancourtdmneeds text to speech for sure, and a live/advanced voice option

The Pixel Watch 4 is so beautiful! It’s the best looking watch on the market. The battery life is really good too, 2 days AOD
@Alex-pm8wr
December 1, 2025 at 6:38 pm
No ECG, no BP measurement, no lap counter, less accurate step count, no fall alert, no long battery life (longer than 6 days at least), no no no no no no nooooo
@Betancourtdm
December 1, 2025 at 7:35 pm
It definitely has ECG, lap counting ability, fall alerts to address your concern. I understand battery life but mine lasts for 3 days which is fine for me. Step count accuracy is better this gen than last gen.
@Jodogaz

Mine has absolutely everything that person says it doesn’t have. I’m so happy with this.

So would you take it over Samsung Galaxy Watch 8, or Ultra?
@foetor
December 2, 2025 at 5:53 am
3:06 a round display just make no sense. Look at the cut off words
@Gle-lv2fm

A circle looks better on watches IMO, but yeah a rectangular shape is more functional.
