I went from Pixel Watch 2 to Apex 2 Pr. You give up assistant is the big thing but get battery life in return which is way better because I only have to charge one or twice a month vs every day so I was rarely tracking my sleep because I had to charge every night.

After some time with a Pixel watch 2 here are my 2p: * The health tracking and sensors are awesome * Smartwatch / phone companion features are awesome * The GPS is shit * Battery life is shit * Which leads to me not fiddling much with the watch at all or it won't make it through the day which kind of negates the second point * Fitbit is a bit hit and miss * The app itself is very badly laid out, hard to read * Activity stats are really very basic * The health algorithms are second to none, and it's one of very few systems that give you a real TDEE with reasonable accuracy, instead of just tracking active calories.

I have budget aliexpress smartwatches with better gps tracking than my pixel watch 2. Let's hope the double band does the trick

My pixel watch 2 wobbles all over the place. Into buildings, teleporting somewhere else then back. In the middle of lakes. This is in the countryside, in a city it's even worse. I have a 30 quid budget watch that does far better.

Pixel watch 2 has been phenomenal for me despite the small screen and the poor battery life. But it's been dependable and still has some of the best sensors available on a watch. I've recently switched from it to an amazfit t-rex 3 pro and what an absolute beast it is. Better in every way that matters to me except maybe contactless payments. Top notch sensors, a large bright amoled display, the torch is excellent and more useful that I can express, sports tracking is spot on with plenty of detail and configurability, and I can squeeze about 10 to 12 days off the battery with heavy usage. Love 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.

Idk, maybe I'm not thinking big enough. But I just can't see anything making this worth switching from PW2

I've just upgraded from a 2 with decent trade in values, I also had some store credit. Best thing I've done for a while, battery lasts over 2 days and the screen is so much nicer!
