Google Pixel 8/8 Pro & Pixel Watch 2

Weeks of battery is more than I'm after. A few days would be nice but I don't think the Pixel is anywhere near that. The Fitbits probably aren't either. :(

I dont see the point of a smart watch that needs daily charging as the health, activity and sleep tracking is the most important to me and you lose a large slice of that when it needs daily charging. My 3 year old GT2 Pro still lasts two weeks between charging.
 
I have no issue charging a watch daily. Takes less than an hr for a full charge which rarely happens as I still have 50% left after a 14hr day on the Pixel watch. I rather have a smaller watch than a bulky one.

Fitbits last around a week. My charge (forget which one) easily lasted a full week. My versa 2 lasts 5 days.
I usually just charge them for the 10mins I'm in the shower per day and they are always fully charged.

Agreed. I wouldn't want to charge a smartwatch over night as I'd want the sleep tracking. Perhaps when I get home and have dinner I could charge it then if I'm not going out. Depends on how long it takes to charge up to a decent level to get me through the day.

I had another look at the Fitbit range and will investigate the difference between the Sense and Sense 2 as I can't see where the £50 difference comes in.

Even an Apple watch is a daily charge and they develop the entire stack.

Don't Google develop the entire stack for the Pixel Watch too? Or are you comparing the Apple Apple Watch to the Google and saying even Apple can't make theirs last longer than a day? :)
 
Pixel watch has a Samsung SoC, old one at that... so no it's not Google's entire stack.

New one supposedly has qualcomms latest and greatest.

Any ideas how the Pro might compare to the Samsung Galaxy Elite, is one generally better at some things Vs the other. My main priority is battery life, and potentially any features that help battery life like reduce charging to 80% or similar to help prolong it's health.

Battery life is excellent on the S23 ultra. The Pixel 8 pro won't beat that in my opinion.
 
Not interested in the watch I have a decent sports watch (Garmin). However I am keen on replacing my 6pro so hope there will be some good deals about!

So far it seems it'll be a reasonable upgrade from my 6pro.

I'm due an upgrade now and tempted with the s23U over the pixel 8 mostly for battery life.

There hasn't been any rumors/leaks of anything exciting yet.
 
I have a pixel 6 atm so would be tempted to upgrade to the pixel 8. I'm not jumping on right away this time, I will wait for some decent reviews first.

I was also thinking this, normally there is loads of leaks etc. Maybe that's a bad sign :/
