Might get the pro and just flog the watch as no interest at all in smart-watches.
Just read Google scrapped it for 6 Pro and with the 7, it can’t be used to replace fingerprint fully.
Apple really does face ID so well with their camera, always spot on.
I had higher hopes but clearly it’s turned out to be a flop.
It was always reported that it wouldn’t have a proper face unlock, as it’s simply not for the sensors available to do that. Been well done even before today’s launch

Looks like the ticwatch 3 pro I got for £70 is an ever better bargain.
Still boxed in case it ever gets the wear os 3 upgrade (it’s confirmed so hopefully soon).
The ticwatch are great… £70 is an absolute bargain.
Still in shock, they actually delivered it - need the wear os upgrade though for the google home app!
Had a look at what networks the Pixel watch works with, on 4G LTE, for the UK it’s limited to EE & Vodafone
Edit - and now I’m looking at the email from Google about it, I’m trying hard to resist actually pulling the trigger and buying it. Even though further up I made a valid reason not to
It’s probably an esim, given its size… so you’ll be limited to EE and Vodafone anyway - Three did an esim trial but never went live with it. (Edit: And O2, I always forget them, although they currently say samsung only it can’t be that different).
If they do it like the apple watch it’ll be a £7 a month data addon to whatever you pick as the one for the phone. Unfortunately for me that’d be a massive monthly increase, since I’m currently with smarty and currently pay about £5 a month, and the equivalent sim only plan from EE is about £30 a month…
My Vodafone plan would charge it at all additional £3.50 a month if I do decide to buy the watch. A standard plan would be £7.
I’m in a “do I need it” mindset at the moment, focusing on current spending given the current climate.
Maybe if I get a payrise

Three has launched esim for apple watch as it can be added to apple plans, just nothing else which is frustrating.
Apple watch can be the dummy 
They must be able to do eSIMs because that’s what the Apple Watch uses.
Edit: I see @Carlo1460 has already mentioned this…

I’ve talked myself out of purchasing it I’ll maybe wait and see how well it does and what the follow up model looks like.

I still have my series 6 here sat doing nothing bar collect dust.

Is it cellular? If it is do you want to swap it for a series 5 that can sit there collecting dust instead?!
Haha na sadly not, gps model. Cellular never struck me for anything useful as phone always near.

If I took the offer it would be just to flog the watch to reduce the price of the phone - no interest in it.
Just like the Bose headphones last year, have a feeling eBay will be flooded with bargain unused Pixel Watches.
I’ll buy it
