My first Android Wear smartwatch was the Moto 360. My second was the Google Pixel Watch. Smartwatches have gotten a lot better in that time, but I still didn’t keep one on my wrist for more than a few months. Why?
The primary reason I’m not wearing my Pixel Watch anymore is because of scratches across the screen. I read the reviews. They warned me, but I didn’t think it would get this bad this quickly. I apparently should have bought a screen protector, but I didn’t know that was a thing I should buy for my watch, nor do I necessarily want to.
We all feel differently about our watches. Some of us will strap on a $20 digital watch because it is filled with features. Others will pay substantially more for a timepiece that only tells the time.
I’ve never been someone to spend a bunch of money on watches, but if I’m going to buy one, I’m closer to the latter. If something will be strapped to my wrist where I and everyone can see it, I want it to look nice.
Durability isn’t an issue that all smartwatches face, but the Pixel Watch was the option I found most attractive. It’s relatively minimalist. It features a stock version of Wear OS. It doesn’t require installing a companion app from an OEM different from my phone’s.
Sure, the Apple Watch is considered the gold standard, but I have never liked how it looks. Besides, you need an iPhone to activate one, which I don’t have.
If you want something Android-compatible with stock software and good software support, your options are rather limited. Software updates are the Mobvoi TicWatch’s weakness. Samsung’s watches come with One UI, which isn’t bad, but I don’t want that unless I’m also running One UI on my phone. Plus, there are certain things Samsung watches can only do with Samsung phones. Motorola’s smartwatch runs a different OS entirely.
The OnePlus Watch 2 is a decent option, but it wasn’t out yet. It's also on the big side, like most other smartwatches. I have small wrists, and I want a thin watch. My wife found one in the Garmin Lily, but that doesn’t run Wear OS, nor is it quite the look I’m going for.
I can’t say I loved everything about how the Google Pixel Watch looked out of the box. One of my intentions from the very beginning was to replace the plastic strap. Unfortunately, Google used a proprietary standard incompatible with most third-party watch bands.
I ordered a few bands, but the experience was rather frustrating. I took a chance on the official metal mesh band from Google. At $129.99, it cost nearly as much as my Pixel Watch, which I snagged during a Black Friday sale. The band uses a magnetic clasp that simply does not

If you've ever caught yourself jamming out to a Latin-filled song in a Final Fantasy game, or any other game in which Nobuo Uematsu was credited as a composer, you might've been wondering just what the heck the singers are saying so elegantly, yet powerfully.
I never planned to watch Sex and the City. Nothing I heard about the series drew me to it in particular. My main familiarity with it involved being loosely a part of conversations where friends assigned themselves characters, like being “a Miranda” or “a Carrie.” However, on one sleepy Friday evening, my partner had turned it on to watch as they cooked. Content to try something new, I plopped myself down on the couch with a chocolate martini in hand.
The news that won't be getting DLC or a sequel from developer Larian Studios came as a big disappointment to many fans, but when looking at all the facts, it isn't that much of a surprise. This update was delivered at a GDC 2024 panel hosted by Larian, where CEO Swen Vincke clarified that the studio is leaving the license behind to turn its work in other directions. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it's hard to imagine any other studio following up with something of equal ambition and quality.
