Looks like I can get a watch free with a new one of these. My current watch is a bit old and I am using a Pixel 6, so thought this might be a good time to change.

I got the same deal with the 9 pro. It's fine, it still doesn't measure up to the 3 XL. Battery life on the newer stuff is sub par. They say the camera is better but the pics look the same as on the older models and not nearly as good on my wife's iPhone.....nekid pics of her incoming.
The watch is a mystery to me. It serves no useful purpose. I tried the native Fitbit for bike rides but Strava is vastly superior. Seems like Fitbit is just an app for fatties that need encouragement

I have a Pixel 8 Pro. Bought it around Christmas time when my old previous Pixel (I cant remember exactly what version it was) went kaput.

I have no issues with the 8 Pro. Battery seems fine, although I am not a power user. Phone calls are good (I'm on Verizon).

I lean more toward the Google ecosystem (versus Apple), so everything integrates seamlessly.

Love my Fitbit. I don't use the health features though.
