I own a pixel watch, I'm on my first RMA.

If they offer an upgrade option to send in my current watch for the new version, I'll probably take it. If I get 50% off or better, then I'm in.

Hopefully their second attempt is better than the first.

Same. I think that's smart as far as being able to trade it in. I haven't heard anything about Google Pixel Watch trade in though.

I haven't either, but they've done it with phones before, so I'm currently hoping they'll extend that to the watch.

I guess we'll find out on launch.
