I've got no issues with anyone saying they won't buy the watch because it isn't aesthetically pleasing to them and I guess Google will have no-one else bar themselves to blame when the lack of sales on the thing will have them stop producing any further iterations.

It was such a home run - round watch, thin bezels.

Sigh...

Looking like it’s £849 with the Pixel Watch thrown in.

I’m not sure if the fact that they’re giving the watch as a freebie is a good deal or it’s essentially saying it’s not worth a dime if they’re willing to give it away for free…

I wouldn't count on it being a slick and polished device, knowing Google they will have cut corners somewhere.

Yeah that’s what I’m thinking as well.

Like that’s not me saying that I don’t want the watch to succeed-we need viable competitors to the Apple Watch, but you don’t see Apple saying “Buy an 14 Pro, get a Series 8 for free” do you…

Just doesn’t fill me with confidence. But then again, it took until the Series 3 for Apple to get going with their watches so hopefully if they stick with it they can get to that point as well.

The 6 Pro was £649 discounted which to me is the true price that I think people would happily pay. So £849 for Google has a enough margin to give away a watch that is probably closer to £200 when discounted.

Or they're trying to get people to buy back into the Wear OS ecosystem and what better way to build a big user base quickly and cheaply.

Based on previous Google attempts at anything new you're probably closer to the mark, but you never know :D
