I got one 2nd hand for about £200. The battery life is terrible. At best you'd get two days of light use out of it. I have just cancelled the Fitbit premium subscription after the free period as I'm not really using it for fitness or tracking, or else the battery would be even worse. I do like the notifications however, and how easily it paired and works with my Pixel 6Pro phone. I had a Garmin Vivoactive a while ago, and while the battery was better, the charging method was flaky and the connection to whatever phone I had was not consistent. And they recently released whatsapp beta which has an app for the watch so I can see full conversations and pictures now which means not having to get my phone out if I get a message. Reading and deleting emails is handy too, but I imagine many other smartwatches also do this.
Would I spend £200 again? Probably not. Would I spend £279? Definitely not. But, as always, YMMV

i'm still really happy with my fitbit versa 3.
i've said it before on this thread - it might not look as slick as the pixel watch, but it seems like it does everything the pixel watch can do, only better, with much better battery life, and they're available for £116 -
Wouldn't waste your money, my wife has been using it and its been really hit and miss, not recording some actives or the actives appears a few days later. Battery life is terrible doesn't get a whole day. She doesn't really us any of the smart phone features so can't comment on that side.

Pixel Watch available for £279 at the moment.
Gotta say I'm tempted.
Does anyone have one? Is the battery really shite? Will I got locked into a Fitbit subscription I don't want?
