Great Watch and Upgrade - you will not miss your Fossil Gen 6, or any other
This is a fantastic watch. I've been a long-time Fossil smartwatch user. My Fossil Gen 6 watch started acting up, and I recently learned that Fossil has exited smartwatches. Once I switched to the Pixel 3, I was thrilled and do not miss my Gen 6 at all. I should have switched sooner.My 2nd Fossil replacement alternative was the OnePlus 2. The Pixel looked better (to me) and has Wear OS 5 which is the most recent version. It was hard to decide between the two using online descriptions and reviews, but I am happy with my choice. The Pixel battery life is better than the Fossil, even with the always on display, and easily gets me though the day. The charge may not last as long as the OnePlus 2, but I do not wear it overnight and instead put the watch on the charger, so the extra battery life is not an issue for me. Others may see this differently.The Pixel 3 screen is MUCH brighter and sharper than the Fossil, the processor is faster, and the watch operation is intuitive and easy to learn. Activating the watch, setting it up, and switching from the Fossil was quick and easy since most of the apps and info are tied to my Google account.Long-time irritants with the Fossil were how the end of the watch band kept flopping loose from its holder band, and how the crown button constantly activated when I sharply bent my wrist. The Pixel fixes both of these issues. The Pixel watch band is a bit tricky to attach at first (YouTube helps), but it works MUCH better than the Fossil and is more comfortable. The Pixel has a nice feature where you can rotate the watch display 180 degrees (make it upside down) so you can wear the crown button on the left side of the watch. No more accidental app activations, restarts, or 911 calls!My primary watch use is for business to monitor emails and texts, and to see/screen/take phone calls. All these work beautifully, and are handled much better than with the Fossil. Even the weather app is upgraded in the new OS, and there is a timer that can be added to the tiles. I use my watch secondarily for the health features, and I was sad (at first) to learn Google Fit would not be on the Pixel. I used Fit on the Fossil to track steps and distance walked. The new FitBit basic version is a true upgrade and gives me all the info I had before, plus a lot more. I did not opt for the free Premium FitBit trial.I bought and recommend a set of the plastic watch covers for scratch and impact protection, and a charging stand. Both work great.

Great watch
This watch is just what I was looking for, as it looks beautiful, the band is sleek and extremely comfortable, and the watch face is streamlined; plus there are many watch faces to choose from whenever you feel like it; it isn't too heavy, it's accurate, I feel that it is a good value for the money, the connection is appreciated, it does need to be charged frequently but that's the only downside (in my case once a day on average but does charge quickly). I chose this particular watch because of the added safeguards; it has fall detect (I got diagnosed with P.O.T.S so there is always a chance that I could pass out) ECG whenever my heart seems to be acting weird for added peace of mind, crash detect which is always a nice bonus, I have had a FITBIT for over 10 years (not the same one:) ) and I have found that all in all they are great watches and I really like the FITBIT app; so this time I thought that I would try GOOGLE and I am glad that I did.

Google pixel watch for the win
Love this watch- it was a total upgrade from Fitbit but figured that the Google watch may get me more life expectancy. The only thing I do not like is having to charge once a day- my Fitbit watch would last 4 days or more on a charge. But I understand this watch does so much more and relies on Bluetooth to run. I never have any issues with the connection and it is accurate on fitness monitoring- although it does not count my steps as fast as my Fitbit did- maybe it’s just me!I can do so much more on this watch than my older Fitbit. If you are looking for a new smart watch this is worth the money- the 41cm fits my small wrist well, 45cm would be better for bigger wrists. Also I have bought the watch covers- cheap plastic cover to snap on- to keep the face looking nice as it is just the glass. So far I have had no issues with it breaking or marking.

GREAT watch, lasts more than a day, but annoyingly locks when you take it off, even for a second.
A decent, stylish smart watch that does exactly what it should, perfectly uses all the native Google Android Wear OS apps WITHOUT bloatwear, and lasts over a day on a charge. BUT, it locks whenever it loses contact with your wrist (no way to change that ANNOYING setting).

Smart looking and smart acting
My wife uses this watch constantly to monitor her steps and get texts among other tasks. The list of functions is really quite remarkable. It is well made and -- in our opinion -- worth the price.

This is the perfect watch for your Pixel, or other Wear-OS compatible phones.
Purrr-fectly integrated with your pixel phone, Fitbit app, and Wear-OS compatible phones. Sync's great operationally so you can set it to dismiss alerts on either your phone or the watch - no double-display or dismiss required. The excellence of Fitbit tracking, including all the fitness features you expect, heart rate, blood oxygen level, sleep tracking, and more. Get the larger screen model, you'll be glad you did. Excellent gym/workout companion - keep your phone in your pocket. Biking? Nav on your wrist, make/take calls over Bluetooth without touching your phone. Keep the display on all day if you want, or auto-off. Tons of watch faces.
