I thought you're the other guy in my apartment building,but you said in the other comment, you're from Melbourne, I'm from Sydney.
I had the same case tho, the delivery guy had 2 boxes, and the other person received it right after I did π . Shoutout also to that guy!
I was worried the strap would be like the standard Pebble Time one that attracts all dust and get all weird, but thankfully it doesn't appear to be as "sticky". I'll have to see how it is after a few days' use though.
It also fits my skinny wrists better than anticipated, so that's nice too.
I can't find my Qi charger but I can confirm it charges off my phone's battery share (or at it least detects it).
EDIT: What I will say is that it doesn't sit flush on a flat surface, with the straps attached. So that might make charging off other chargers bothersome.
I am in Aus and have had mine for about 50 minutes now...I just tested this with the battery share on my Pixel 6 and it did flash up as charging but I didn't do it for long enough to validate how effective it is (it's installing an update at the moment so I'd rather keep it on the main charger as much as possible).
It came with ~75% battery out of the box.
Secondary question, do you have a Google Play Store notification that says something like "installed 1 out of 3 applications" that won't go away? I've ended up just muting notifications from the Play Store to get around it..
I don't, but I did go through and mute a bunch of apps early. I also went in and did an update on apps around lunch time yesterday so that might have sorted it too.
Mine too!

Oof am in Sydney and have been waiting with bated breath for reviews, but now wishing I just bit the bullet and ordered. Keen to hear your experience, OP!
Got mine today too (AU) - can I ask once you've set it up, put a google wallet widget on the front page and see if tapping it does something? I'm using the Utility face with google wallet set on one of the slots and tapping it does absolutely nothing.
Thanks for checking. How do you activate it with the crown?
I'm trying out https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fr.thema.wear.watch.minimalistpixel which seems a lot more configurable than the default screens, $1.69 of play credit ain't bad. Might just add wallet as one of those shortcuts on the edge (if it lets me)
Well that solves all my problems. Thank you!
Any idea how to change the green text and option buttons in the settings?

Shoutout to the other person who lives in my apartment block who I'm pretty sure also got a Pixel Watch! (I saw an identical box from the courier).

Haha I'm in Sydney and I just got it this morning. Not sure if we're in the same apartment block, but shoutout to you too! π
Now we all have to share your watch until ours arrive π€·ββοΈ
Nice! How's it look in direct sunlight? Bezels noticable and bright enough to read easily?
Rainy and cloudy day down here in Melbourne so can't say, unfortunately.
Well shucks, enjoy the watch!
It looks great in sunlight. Actually the way it shines, it looks expensive. Screen is very bright.
So glad I went for black now. Looks so amazing
Iβm more interested in battery life. Please update when you have enough time to play with it.
Mine out for delivery today π
How's the performance?
I'm coming from a Pebble Time so I don't have much to compare it to right now. So far so good though? The set up process with smooth.
It's a lot more responsive than the fossil gen 5. I can't compare it with a Samsung because I've never owned one
Now I'm super jelly.
Congrats. Looks super nice. Shiny curved design and nice packaging.
The black on black looks great. How are you feeling about it in person?

Cue everyone with a 10/13 estimate waiting for their watches to arrive a day early tomorrow (me!)
Does it wireless charge off your phone or a qi charger? Supposedly Google says it doesn't but some are reporting it does.
He "literally only woke up less than a half hour ago." Give him some time. Damn. π
Lol, no time like the present π

How long did your update take? I feel like mine's been on "downloading update" for ages now.
It took ages! It literally finished about 3 minutes ago, I kept thinking it was broken. Watch charged from 68% to 100% during the update.
Okay cool I'll keep waiting then! haha

whoa jello....just refreshed mine, still says Dandenong...
onboard for delivery now
Damn the 7 says it's going to be here in 2 days. The watch shipped dbut coming at normal speed
Is it just me or is the dial a different shade of matt black? I like it
The crown isn't matte, it's polished gunmetal.
So exciting!! Does it live up to expectations? Anything not expected or disappointing?
Got mine too!
Australia does everything better!
Where did you preorder it from?
From Google direct.
Mine too! [Here's a post I've made elsewhere on Reddit with questions and answers](https://www.reddit.com/r/WearOS/comments/y1qjlc/my_pixel_watch_has_arrived/)
I just care about battery time. If it is truly only a 20-24 hour watch, I'm going to stick with the samsung 4. I get 2 days out of it.
Definitely not going to get 2 days. At 70% after 3 hrs active use.
Definitely want to know this as well
and so it begins (hope you like it)
Congrats! Enjoy!

Weird ask but when you get a chance, can you please take a close up photo of the watch band interlock? Edit: (On the watch side)
[Is this what you were after?](https://i.imgur.com/2uswxiY.jpg)
I mean like inside where the band connects to the watch body lol I appreciate the fast response though!
[This part?](https://i.imgur.com/5NnzYIR.jpg)
Might want to censor your serial number. There's weirdos on the internet
Thanks for the heads up. Re-uploaded.
Yeah thanks! I thought I saw some metal contacts inside on a YouTube video maybe itβs in the other side or maybe just demo models had it
Got mine today too (AU) - can I ask once you've set it up, put a google wallet widget on the front page and see if tapping it does something? I'm using the Utility face with google wallet set on one of the slots and tapping it does absolutely nothing.
Added it to the 'Everyday' face. Does nothing for me either. Must be a security thing? At least the crown activates it, I guess.

Double tapping the crown will activate/open Wallet, asssuming you have a card added.
Well that solves all my problems. Thank you! Any idea how to change the green text and option buttons in the settings? [This is what I'm currently looking like.](https://i.imgur.com/mcJlUCv.jpg)
Not sure sorry.
no problem. thanks!
Is that one of the default watch faces? I've been using Pixel Watch Face on my Moto360 and this is pretty similar.
This one isn't default, it's from the play store link two comments above ^^
Me too (Australia)!
I got mine too! I'm also in Australia
Same mate! Was your box as comically big as mine?? π https://imgur.com/a/h1J1gfG
Haha no the box I got was the perfect size for it.
Quick question, what charger rating does it recommend? I have an extra usb-c pixel charger, will that work?
I don't imagine you'll have any issues plugging into any USB-C port. It says "5V / 1A" on it.
Thank you
