January’s Pixel phone, foldable, and tablet update hit earlier in the week and you might be wondering when your Pixel Watch will see the same. Unfortunately, the Pixel Watch is not expected to see an update this month or next month.
For those who missed the news, because it dropped back in November, Google confirmed to us at the time that the next Pixel Watch update isn’t scheduled to arrive until March 2025. They made mention of the November update being the last update until March in the changelog for that update and we followed-up to make sure we understood what they were saying. They were indeed saying that Pixel Watch updates would resume in March.
We don’t know the reasoning, but at least there was a December Feature Drop for some Pixel Watch owners to at least see some new goodies. There wasn’t an actual system update in December, though, so we are clear.
If you own a Pixel Watch, Pixel Watch 2, and Pixel Watch 3, sit tight.
I won't be owning one of these, nor a Samsung one again anytime soon.
i picked up a Garmin Fenix 7 pro solar and for the life of me cannot figure out how this lasts for several WEEKS on a charge (no solar) while seeming to do a much better job with everything, HR, ECG, Step/workouts, broadcasting HR etc, yet somehow Google, Samsung, Apple can't figure out how to do the same?
Something is WAY OFF with Sammy, Google, Apple watches.
My Apple watch has been the best I've used, however, I haven't found a watch that knows how to calculate weight lifting. The Apple watch tried, but it's clueless. It's for sure better than the Samsung I had before it. I've wanted to get a Garmin, but I've never pulled the trigger. I have a father in law who was just gifted one from his wife and he really seems to like it.
Part of the reason I didn't get a Garmin was because of the notifications and I wanted more integration with my phone. However, I discovered with my job, that I can't stand getting too many notifications, so I've disabled most of them and I'm really using my watch more of a fitness tracker. Looks like my next watch will be a Garmin!
You won’t regret it, I was and am AMAZED how well it “just works” and runs forever on a charge.
I finally charged mine for only the 2nd time yesterday because it was making me anxious seeing 25% one day, 22% the next, 18% the next … It would have surpassed 3 weeks had I not charged before it was actually dead.
And, coming from Samsung watches, this does everything and more (ECG with my pixel for one) that my Samsung did and it does it better.
I don’t know about the lower tier Garmin like the forerunner series rtc, but at least for the Fenix series, unbelievable battery life and I have screen brightness set to high, long timeout etc. I’m guessing if I pushed it I could easily get a month out of it.
Yeah, I’ve always been looking at the Fenix series. I see they also do weight training in their watch. I hope it’s better than Apple’s. I feel like no one has really figured that out and I can be a total gym rat when I want to be. At least the step counting is better than Samsung’s. I used to drive to work and having a manual transmission car, the darn thing would say I took 2500 steps on my drive in. lol
Im just baffled as to how Garmin can do this and Samsung, Apple, Google apparently can't.
