Google Pixel Watch 4

Honestly it seems like people have ups and downs with their experience. Mine was perfectly fine. That being said the PW3 & 4 are excellent competitors to the Apple Watches core features.

Looks like I'll trade in my PW3 for the PW4 45mm. Why? Battery life. It feels like my watch's battery has degraded since getting it Day 1.

i used to love my Fenix 6, then I got an lte pixel watch and never looked back. it does everything and more. the upgrades from the 6 have been mostly useless and still are.

Only 2 LTE wearos. Galaxy watch and pixel watch. Biggest battery is galaxy watch ultra but pixel watch charge Soo fast that it will last enough if U charge everyday when U bathe (U should definitely take your watch off when you bathe) Galaxy watch charges much longer but lasts a bit longer.

I use a Pixel watch. Golf Pad (the app I use to track my rounds) is compatible with the watch.

Apple Watch doesn't work on Android and Pixel Watch doesn't work on iOS

But it doesn't work on Android, it's a comparison of Apples and oranges

The sensors and software smoothness are better, battery is a bit behind but the 45mm last 40h+

OP, may I make another suggestion for you to consider? (I'm wearing a Pixel Watch right now so don't come at me Pixel lovers) The battery life is indeed a concern on these watches. If you want Wear OS and are open to a suggestion - take a look at the OnePlus Watch 3 in the smaller 43mm size. It will be very similar in size to your Garmin Venu that you had. You can get about 3 days of battery very easily and if you switch to the battery saver mode can easily go for days longer. I had the larger 46mm size of this watch and loved it - battery life is so good - but ultimately I needed (wanted) LTE connectivity for my watch and so I got the Pixel Watch 3 45mm LTE version. It's a nice watch but battery life is not good compared to Garmin, etc. Anyways, my suggestion is to check out the OnePlus - it's a beautiful, full featured, Android watch!

I personally like the advantage of not having to keep up with yet another thing to keep track of and keep charged up every day - and that's not a perceived difficulty - that's a real thing for many people. I'm glad that you don't mind it, but many other people do. My father is now wearing an Amazfit Active 2 and he is *so much happier* that it lasts ~5 days vs having to charge every day for his Galaxy Watch 6 Classic that he had before.

You appear to not get a lot of things - perhaps the rest of the world doesn't move to the same rhythm that you do? I find it hilarious that by just responding to your statement you downvote my reply, lol - that is some funny shit. I wear my Pixel Watch 24/7 except for when it is charging or when I'm wearing a different more dressy watch to dinner, etc. I like my Pixel Watch tracking my health with its continuous HR monitor, stress monitor, etc. I paid for it so why shouldn't I wear it. For me - I would far prefer if the battery lasted for days+ so I didn't have to worry every day "Oh shit, I didn't charge it yet - let me remember to do that" because I've got enough stuff going on to keep track of.
