Pixel watch 4 is the first Pixel watch where I havn't had to ever worry about battery life, few minutes charge during a shower and it's good to go. This has also resulted in me wearing it pretty much everyday, all day. Previous Pixel watches I would often set down the charge and then forget to put back on. I would 100% upgrade from 2 to 4, even 3 to 4 is a significant enough improvement for me. I traded in my 1 when I got the 4 (still have the 2 and 3 that I hand down to family) and it was actually laughable to handle it again, it's tiny for a start with an even tinier screen due to huge bezel, I also remember the battery life was terrible. We have come a long way and I'm excited for the 5!

Currently using Samsung Galaxy Ultra, Moto Fit, and Google Pixel Watch 4. Ive used the Samsung the longest and is favored. Pixel is giving it a run for its money though. They both have cellular plans and both work well. The Moto is great at battery, used it a week without putting it on the charger. The other three I am putting on the charger every other day usually. If it wasn't for the domed glass of the Pixel, it would be favored. Knock on wood, it lasts for two years. I do have them tied to their respective company phones too. Workouts are similar however im still testing them out. Out of these three, I would suggest the Samsung. However if you don't have a Samsung, the Pixel.

I charge my Pixel Watch 4 about once a week. My Samsung Galaxy Ultra is every other day. Garmin may be what you're looking for though

The Galaxy Watch Ultra would be the best choice. Next would be Galaxy 5 Pro. Although my Pixel Watch 4 gets longer battery life than my Ultra does.

I'm impressed too. Coming from PW2. Currently I'm on the 25th hour with a 70 minute tracking workout(10 min treadmill, 60 strength training ) and it's on 56 %.

PW4 ? I have touch to wake, rise to talk turned and always on screen turned off. I'm just not s big fan of those three.

Pixel watch 3 or 4. Both will last you comfortably more than 24h, especially the 4. Some of the best sensors and sleep tracking there is. A step down on health tracking but by no means bad is the oneplus watch 3. Much better battery life and tougher build.

I got the Pixel Watch 4 because I read about the good sensors, so I wanted to use it, to track my health. Unfortunately, Fitbit doesn't help a lot with providing data or analysing the data - comparing it with a Ultrahuman ring, it's like a toy. To solve this, I downloaded Welltory to track my HRV and stresslevels, but yeah, it doesnt work well on the pixel watch due to limitations of Wear OS 6. Are there any solutions in the next future or should I return the watch?
