I see pre-ordering a Pixel 8 Pro would get me a free Pixel Watch. A quick look makes me see they can be used with FitBit (which I don’t use nor need).

For those of you who use those watches, what are the other features you enjoy the most? What has improved your daily routine? What would you miss if you lost the watch? Etc.

Thanks for any insights!

    I like being able to see notifications from my phone on my watch, check the weather, and set alarms, but I mostly just like using it as a watch.

    There used to be days when I didn’t put it on, thinking I wouldn’t need or miss it. But the number of times I wanted to quickly check the time or my notifications by turning my wrist but couldn’t was a lot higher than I expected, so now I wear it all the time even if I’m staying at home or near my phone.

      Same here. I always have my phone near me, but it leaves me reaching for it less. I think the notification system is pretty robust.
