    I agree that the battery life isn’t great, but that’s the only issue I have with it.

    It won’t notify you when it’s getting close to dying (Why would you need that on a watch last lasts a day and a half?)

    Mine vibrates and gives a notification when the battery hits 15% or something. Might be 10%. I largely get by with just charging it when I get ready in the morning. And the battery life has also gotten way better since release, some of the updates made a big difference. It’s gone from maybe getting a full workday to easily getting a day and a half now if I put it in night mode overnight.

      Mine lasts all day, reminds me at 10%, and I charge it while I’m in the shower and it’s full. I just put mine on the charger and checked for updates and was pushed the latest.

        I researched after noticing no reminders because I thought it was a config issue. I ran into multiple articles stating there is no reminder.

        If there is one now, It’s either a different generation watch or got added in the last 6 months or so. I’ll check again.

          Got mine right after it released and I get the notification. As far as I remember I’ve always gotten it. But it doesn’t appear on your phone, just on the watch.

            I’ve never seen it there either. When I had the Sense, it reminded me on the phone and perhaps I’m used to that. I keep the watch face off unless I push the button to try to conserve battery.

            Its cool that at least some of your get a reminder, but overall I’m very disappointed. For me, articles like this show that it’s a design issue.

            I’m not some Google hater either, I love my Pixel and have been loyal since the 3. This was just a huge let down.
