But then again… I’m not sure what apps I want added. Maybe Authy… Hue? But I have the option to use Google Home or SmartThings.
Only thing I can think of is maybe something to do with sports or some RSS apps.
Got a tip for us?

I just received my OnePlus watch 3 yesterday and initial impressions are it's a decent bit of kit!I tell you OnePlus is just killing it, I'm about 27 hours off the charger I think maybe a little bit more and my battery is at 80%, I don't use it to sleep track as all my watches I take off before going to bed. Watch has been excellent so far with notifications no drain on the OnePlus 13. Early results are excellent
A little more work required setting up but got there in the end.
Took it off the charge at 100% last night around 11pm and nearly 12 hours later it's at 94% and thats with sleep tracking. Outstanding job

happy you got it and I think it will serve you well.
I'm hoping the gps is up to scratch, going to take it for a run later and see. If it does as well as my Garmin it'll replace it as my do it all device !Awesomehappy you got it and I think it will serve you well.
I will be curious to see how it does as I usually just use it for indoor workouts.
So, it passed the running test. It was only 90 metres different from my Garmin over a 10 mile trail run. The optical heart rate monitor did OK too!
On a side note that's 27 hours off the charger and the watch is at 75% battery. That's with a 90 minute GPS activity. Not bad for a wear os watch.
Thats not too shabby at alll and should get you a good amount of days before the next charge.
The Oneplus watch 3 whist a great smart watch is not such a good training watch.
Had it on for a steady state run the other day and it worked well enough but it failed miserably with my hill sprints this morning. It didn't pick up hardly any of the spikes in heart rate I should have seen and when it did it then showed an elevated heart rate even when I had rested for a short period.
I do have a tattooed wrist which for some watches can be challenging to read through, but others have managed,
With no way to natively connect a chest strap without subscribing to an app it's a major reason why I have never considered a Wear Os watch as a running focused solution, I just thought I'd give this one a try and see if things had moved on. The Pixel watch 3 I have nails the heart rate but fails with poor gps accuracy.
So it seems I'll stick with my Garmin for training.

Thank you for sharing your observations I'm sure this will be very helpful for others.
A little purchase hack for anyone in the US planning on purchasing a Pixel Watch 4. Right now, Google is giving $350 trade-in credit for any Apple Watch series 10. 
AW10 can be purchased on Amazon for as low as $299 (and even less via Swappa or eBay) so that’s an easy extra $50 off (or more). I’ll bet the trade in value will drop once Apple releases whatever new watches are coming next month (for comparison, Apple Watch 9 trade-in value is $125, Apple Watch Ultra 2 only $175) making the series 10 the old generation so I’d at least get your preorder in now to lock in the trade-in price.

Will the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic work well with the new Pixel 10 Pro XL? Considering switching from the S25 Ultra.
I would imagine so, although some of the health features (ECG if I recall correctly is one) may not work/need some workaround.
You'd lose the bedtime schedule sync, if you use that feature of course.
