Would like to know more about Pixel Watches (self.googlepixel)

I see pre-ordering a Pixel 8 Pro would get me a free Pixel Watch. A quick look makes me see they can be used with FitBit (which I don't use nor need).

For those of you who use those watches, what are the other features you enjoy the most? What has improved your daily routine? What would you miss if you lost the watch? Etc.

Thanks for any insights!

Yeah, it's pretty terrible. For me a smartwatch should be complementary to the phone, reducing the amount of times I need to pull out my phone to do things. Google seems content on making you do everything you do on your phone twice, by making you repeat steps on your watch. With the pixel watch you've essentially strapped a standalone smartphone to your wrist.

For you, I guess free is free but there are a lot of design decisions that make me question google. Maybe one day they can match apple in the astronomical technical know-how required for alarm sync.
