One separate note. There is apparently a pretty common problem right now with Pixel phones and galaxy watches. I never had a problem getting a full day out of my Watch4, but it was completely dead after about 6 hours after I started using the Pixel. The problem is apparent when you go into your blutooth settings and you will see that it keeps recycling the "connecting" even though the watch is connected fine. Turning off the bluetooth connection completely fixed the problem, and I can still get notifications. I'm not actually sure what functionality is loss in doing that.

I don't have a smartwatch anymore so I can't speak to the issue you're having. I do plan on getting the Google watch at some point, but not able to shell out that money right now. Getting the phone for basically free was still too much for me right now lol. I did have a Fitbit I liked for a while, but had a lot of issues with it.

As far as the screen protector, the glass one you showed me looked like it has a cutout for the fingerprint sensor, does yours have that? If so I don't think I would like that. I'll keep the TPU or whatever it is, one on for now, but probably gonna get the Whitestone Dome glass one here soon. Had that one on a previous phone a while back and really liked it.

Not a cutout exactly, there is still glass protection there. There is a section designed to specifically go over the fingerprint scanner though (not sure if it's thinner material there or what, but it is visibly different). In most cases though you can only see it when the screen is off or the background is very dark.

I used to switch between platforms a lot. Back in 2019 I switched to iPhone and have been using one exclusively since then. On yesterday, I got the Pixel 7. Man this thing is nice.
