With all of the leaks coming out it seems that the Pro has got a few updates compared to the 7 Pro but the regular model hasn't, it has a smaller screen as well. Only difference is Tensor G3.

Seems little reason to upgrade, especially if it's still using the same camera sensor.

Brighter screen, macro on the UW springs to mind. Oh yeah and a godly update schedule.

I was tempted to get a coloured phone this year.. not liking the colours I've seen so far. Guess I'll stick to black.

I am sure you can sell the watch and buy the buds, or I might be down for a trade as I want the standard pixel !

check MM after release, will be tones on there for reduced prices brand new unopened, and you can sell your watch there too.

If I remember correctly you can choose the buds and not the watch from the Google store.

Lot of people crying out for that smaller screen. That's why I still use the pixel 5

None of those justify a £100 price hike for regular 8 IMO.

I don't like the hikes either. But 2023 is full of them.

My tip is decide on what the "correct" price is and then buy when it drops to that. Obvious I know but so many people succumb to FOMO...

I'll be going for the Pro but not sure to take a chance on the Watch to sell or get the buds to keep...

Indeed. Stand firm.

Struggling to see what the difference between the first and second watch is from the leaks. Hardly a compelling upgrade!
