Smart watches that last a day or two are just trash. £100 Mi Watch does a load of similar stuff and lasts a month.

All smart watches are trash

Only ever wear an automatic. Fancy having to charge your watch??

Does anyone here use eSIM?

I didn't realise the Pixel 7 was Nano SIM + eSIM and not your standard Dual Sim

Unfortunately I'm with Voxi & BT Mobile and neither of them support eSIM. It appears all eSIM packages are only available via Vodafone, EE, and O2 and all are 12+ Month contracts.

Anyone in the UK who ordered direct with Google received theirs yet?

I ordered on the 8th but it is still showing not yet dispatched, for both the 7 Pro and Watch.

I never had a screen protector on my S10 (and not a single scratch mind you, after 4 years+) due to the curved edge, however I would like to put a screen protector on this one..

What do you recommend, Glass Film or softer TPU film?

Weird, even been in the same pocket as coins and keys absolutely scratched my S10 to bits

For those who have received, is there a pre-applied SP on the pro?

I ordered direct with Google on the 6th & received the phone & watch today.

Got my phone and watch in hand.

Opening the box my first impression is that the watch is far too small. Hard pass.

Here's a signal strength comparison to a Pixel 3 XL (yeah I live in the middle of nowhere, so not great numbers...):

Ordered mine direct from Google on the 7th. Mine is showing as ready for delivery with Royal Mail, I suspect given the strikes I won't get it until tomorrow. Which is fine, it's not like it's replacing a broken phone or anything like that.

Yup pure eSIM user here with EE , I intend to move over from my iPhone to the Pixel 7 Pro via the EE app when I get it all set up.

Did Google ever fix the issue with the majority of apps being cropped due to the punch hole?

Whats the best process to move apps/data/etc from 1 Android (Samsung in my case) to Pixel 7?

Have to agree.

What was Google thinking when they made it.

If I had to guess, they designed it based on a typical Watch shape and size.

I don't know how they even get out the design room, how can they get them so wrong? My fenix lasts weeks and does all the smart watch stuff I'm interested in.

It's too small for a smart watch.

Maybe the watch 2 will be bigger.

Try cabling them directly into each other. Worked a treat going Pixel 4 XL -> Pixel 7 Pro. I'm sure it said it would even do iPhone so another android from a different manufacturer should be fine.
