I'm still rocking a pixel watch 1 LTE that I bought new a year ago for $180 US, they are going for much cheaper these days. The battery lasts about 36-48 hours depending on usage.
I just upgraded to a pixel watch 3 45mm LTE for $250 US, so that's an option also.
Cheapest option if you are on a budget and all you care about is music would be a used Pixel Watch 1 or 2. Install a streaming app of choice and listen on Bluetooth headphones.
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!
When I switched from PW1 to PW3 41mm, it was like a day and night difference. Both in terms of UI responsiveness and battery life. I think you'll be happy if you get a good trade-in deal and discount.
I absolutely loved mine until the face separated a few days ago. I got it when they first became available and it lasted me just fine all the way until now. Yeah, the battery sucked but I still definitely got my money's worth out of it.
I have a new 45mm pixel watch 4 on the way now though so I'm pretty excited to get my hands on it!
I have the exact same watch, in the exact same Nano Pop case, only mine is the dark blueberry with yellow ring.
Not my picture (or arm) but [this is the one](https://www.reddit.com/r/PixelWatch/comments/1hg79tu/i_love_this_caseology_nano_pop_case_the_bands/) I'm using.
It's a bloody shame this band is no longer available... like anywhere.
I have a brand new Pixel Watch 2 sitting in my closet, got it free when I bought my Pixel 9. I'm keeping it as backup if/when this watch dies. I don't like the charger on the PW2, prefer the smooth wireless chargers of PW1 than the gold prong crap of the PW2.
Just adding my "hell yes". I went from the PW1 > PW2 and I was fairly happy. But I'm a very heavy user, 2+ hours of tracked activity every day and while the PW2 was better, I still had some very real battery anxiety and did run it out before the end of the day several times.
The PW4 has been everything I wanted in my smart watch. All the features are roughly the same, but the battery life is amazing. End of my typical day it's 80%+ remaining, I love it.
I went the 45mm, mostly for the larger battery, but I understand the 41mm is equally improved, though not as long lived.

Long battery; but wrist HR tracking is inconsistent.
