DAY CREW: WORKING HARD

Fun Shoe
First time smartwatch shopper here. Prime Day has some very nice discounts and I'm looking at these 3: Pixel Watch 2 for $269, OnePlus Watch 2 for $210, and Galaxy Watch 6 for $160. I am a Pixel user and the Pixel watch seems like the obvious choice, but it's significantly more expensive than the other two which also have a lot of positive reviews.

The OnePlus Watch 2 looks very nice but unfortunately it also looks very chunky. The Galaxy Watch 6 is a great deal at $160 and the hardware and performance seem excellent, but I'm not sure how well Samsung watches play with non-Samsung phones.

If the Pixel Watch 2 is a much better experience and much less noticeable for daily use then I will spend the extra money, but the other two options are significantly less expensive. Any testimonials or advice to offer me?

I've been very impressed with the Pixel Watch 1 I bought super cheap during the last big Amazon sale. The hardware quality is very high and it looks & feels premium.

Yeah the larger size of the 2R is a big difference from the Pixel Watch I was wearing last week. It looks fine on me but for a lot of people it just won't work.

I got the OnePlus 2R with my OP13 purchase and while it is a bit chonky on my tiny wrists, the increased battery life compared to my OG Pixel watch is wild.

I always keep AOD on and from 10am to 8:30pm it had dropped to 78%. It had more charge at the end of the day than the phone which is not something that ever happened with the Pixel watch, but I guess it makes sense since the Pixel watch was smaller and not the greatest on battery life to begin with.

Same boat! OG Pixel --> OnePlus 2R! I'm really liking it now that I'm used to the larger size.

I got a free OP 2R when I bought the OP13 and it's an excellent watch. The screen is beautiful, the hardware quality is great, and the battery lasts 3-4 days.

I love my OP watch, and I was a smartwatch skeptic prior to this. It's very good.
