If objectively looking at the reviews so far, better to with 4 then 3 :o

Like example the repair portion is way ahead if u need replacements.

The charging portion yea, but imo minor annoyance over the other perks.
Yeah that's true, so far most PW4's reviews are quite positively received.

That's why still thinking hard if should switched to 4 instead. Maybe will go down and try the demo sets first then decide. (y)

But the charging puck keep changing uh, last 3 years was on the back of the watch which is much more convenient for the watch to stay upright on the stand and can view easily. Now the charging port is just awkward at the side which must charge at 180 degrees. Also, this means all your old chargers and stands must throw away already zzz. Why can't they just adopt QI2 for PW4 as well?

Still thinking if should go for watch 3 instead since it's much cheaper now but the improvements this year are quite significant especially the dome display but the only caveat is the charging port position which is really :s22:
If it's just the "dome" display that you find the most significant, need to ask yourself whether it is worth paying almost $300 more for a Pixel Watch 4 over the 3..... I personally can't tell a difference in aesthetics based on the online images.

A brand new Pixel Watch 3 45mm wifi is going for $329, directly from Google Store. The equivalent Pixel 4 is $599.

(Btw, there's a separate thread for Pixel Watch.)

Yeah, that's why it's a dilemma for me now. Planning to try out the demos first this weekends then decide.

Oh btw, FYI for anyone planning to buy anything off Google Store the previously shared code "teampixelsg" still working as of today I've tested.

I think the repairibility and fast charging is enticing to me. I need something with dependable heart rate and sleep monitoring, Garmin is not it.

Ifixit rates it as the most repairable watch, just some screws and you can replace the screen and battery yourself.

but hor, what is the main point, does fast charging, stop charging 80% actually helps prolong the battery?

ChatGPT the video transcripts:

📊 Key Results

  • iPhone:
    • Slow charging lost 11.8% capacity
    • Fast charging lost 12.3% → only 0.5% difference
  • Android:
    • Slow charging lost 8.8%
    • Fast charging lost 8.5% → fast charging slightly better
  • 30–80% charging range:
    • Improved battery wear slightly (2–4% better), but not dramatic.
  • Leaving phone at 100%:
    • After one week, no measurable difference — long-term effect only.
Conclusion:
👉 Fast charging barely affects battery health.
👉 Keeping between 30–80% helps a bit but isn’t necessary.
👉 You can charge your phone however you like — the impact is minimal.

🔧 Battery Replacement Findings

  • Phones with 85% health or below showed shorter battery life but not slower performance.
  • After battery replacement, runtime improved by 6–24% (about 1.5 hours more use).
  • Performance throttling happens earlier when the battery is degraded (e.g. lags start at 11% battery instead of 5%).
  • Recommendation: Replace battery once it drops near 80–85% health.
tl:dr: fast charge to 100% not much dif than slow charge 30 - 80%.
