Fold and Watch not coming until October 9. I’ve preordered both.

Nice, can you keep us updated on the Watch 4, I really like the look of the MoonStone one. However I'm an Apple Watch user who uses Apple Fitness + so it would mean transferring over to not only the Watch 4 but also Fitbit Premium.

I’m staying in both ecosystems, keeping my Watch Ultra 2 and iPhone 15 PM. I tried a Galaxy Watch Ultra this past year and found some shortcomings compared to Watch OS but early impressions of the Pixel Watch 4 are quite enthusiastic so I want to more fully immerse into the user experience.

I’m really thinking about moving my primary line into the Fold and relegating my backup line to the iPhone for the first time in years so hopeful the Watch 4 will suffice.

The Apple Watch is the stickiest Apple product for me (hardest to leave behind) so would love to make the Pixel Watch 4 work. That being said, since I’m keeping the Apple Watch, I won’t lose access to Fitness+.

What are those shortcomings? I am using a Watch 8 Classic, together with my Pixel 9 Pro XL.

Lots of missing apps in Wear OS, less app functionality (ie I use Pocket Casts, will automatically download episodes to my Apple Watch, not an option in Wear OS, FitBod fitness app missing functionality available in Watch OS). Offline music listening not available in either of my music apps in Wear OS. That’s just off the top of my head.

My Casio G Shock has all the apps I need.

But I will probably get a Pixel Watch anyway since I have a $200 credit with Google now. The Gemini raise to talk could be fun. Not going to use any fitness or sleep features though.

I’m going to wait and see what Apple announce at their September 9th event. I’ve noticed that Google’s offers will still be available until the 11th of September, so that means i can watch the Apple event and then decide if I’m going to buy the iPhone and Watch 11 this year. I’m currently on the iPhone 15 Pro Max and Apple Watch Ultra.

Seeing a lot of articles about how the GPU is worse than Tensor G4, but that has to be software, right? The benchmarking apps have not been updated for the G5, so the drivers are just wrong. Seems lazy reporting.

I watched a video yesterday discussing that. I don't remember everything that was said because some of it is over my head but yes, the new GPU isn't worse than the last generation.
 
This doesn't bode well....

ETA for that config is now showing 20-22nd sept... Not the end of the world, but annoying because it's been ready to ship since Sunday
