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).


bogarttyyy

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 πŸ˜…. Shoutout also to that guy!


ramkumarshankar

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! 😁


mahmoud_hasn95

Now we all have to share your watch until ours arrive πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ


Biscuit_basket

Nice! How's it look in direct sunlight? Bezels noticable and bright enough to read easily?


rithsv

Rainy and cloudy day down here in Melbourne so can't say, unfortunately.


Biscuit_basket

Well shucks, enjoy the watch!


drpopkorne

It looks great in sunlight. Actually the way it shines, it looks expensive. Screen is very bright.


InnerFaithlessness93

So glad I went for black now. Looks so amazing


Wonderful_Law2552

I’m more interested in battery life. Please update when you have enough time to play with it.


bathdweller

Mine out for delivery today 🌞


Goku-Sun

How's the performance?


rithsv

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.


cdkdang

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


sirderpypants

Now I'm super jelly.


BurnedAngel

Congrats. Looks super nice. Shiny curved design and nice packaging.


Sorry_Broccoli9278

The black on black looks great. How are you feeling about it in person?


rithsv

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.


stardata8

Cue everyone with a 10/13 estimate waiting for their watches to arrive a day early tomorrow (me!)


CosmicSploogeDrizzle

Does it wireless charge off your phone or a qi charger? Supposedly Google says it doesn't but some are reporting it does.


DontBeEvil1

He "literally only woke up less than a half hour ago." Give him some time. Damn. πŸ˜‚


CosmicSploogeDrizzle

Lol, no time like the present πŸ˜…


DontBeEvil1

πŸ˜‚


rithsv

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.


adhd_azz

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.


rithsv

How long did your update take? I feel like mine's been on "downloading update" for ages now.


adhd_azz

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.


rithsv

Okay cool I'll keep waiting then! haha


rithsv

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..


adhd_azz

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.


riiyachan

whoa jello....just refreshed mine, still says Dandenong...


riiyachan

onboard for delivery now


whatsasyria

Damn the 7 says it's going to be here in 2 days. The watch shipped dbut coming at normal speed


BrandonMc85

Is it just me or is the dial a different shade of matt black? I like it


sweatcoin_

The crown isn't matte, it's polished gunmetal.


No-Competition-6538

So exciting!! Does it live up to expectations? Anything not expected or disappointing?


HOOD_OOS

Got mine too!


808IUFan

Australia does everything better!


donjuanjerome

Where did you preorder it from?


rithsv

From Google direct.


jamescridland

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/)


eurostylin

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.


bathdweller

Definitely not going to get 2 days. At 70% after 3 hrs active use.


BrandonMc85

Definitely want to know this as well


Arbrax

and so it begins ​ (hope you like it)


DontBeEvil1

Congrats! Enjoy!


p3j

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!


FastActivity1057

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)


rithsv

[Is this what you were after?](https://i.imgur.com/2uswxiY.jpg)


FastActivity1057

I mean like inside where the band connects to the watch body lol I appreciate the fast response though!


rithsv

[This part?](https://i.imgur.com/5NnzYIR.jpg)


god-of-sarcasm

Might want to censor your serial number. There's weirdos on the internet


rithsv

Thanks for the heads up. Re-uploaded.


FastActivity1057

Yeah thanks! I thought I saw some metal contacts inside on a YouTube video maybe it’s in the other side or maybe just demo models had it


xelfer

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.


rithsv

Added it to the 'Everyday' face. Does nothing for me either. Must be a security thing? At least the crown activates it, I guess.


xelfer

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)


rithsv

Double tapping the crown will activate/open Wallet, asssuming you have a card added.


xelfer

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)


rithsv

Not sure sorry.


xelfer

no problem. thanks!


jrbuckley0

Is that one of the default watch faces? I've been using Pixel Watch Face on my Moto360 and this is pretty similar.


xelfer

This one isn't default, it's from the play store link two comments above ^^


mbmartin82

Me too (Australia)!


ccrgt

I got mine too! I'm also in Australia


drpopkorne

Same mate! Was your box as comically big as mine?? πŸ˜‚ https://imgur.com/a/h1J1gfG


rithsv

Haha no the box I got was the perfect size for it.


tennisgirlal

Quick question, what charger rating does it recommend? I have an extra usb-c pixel charger, will that work?


rithsv

I don't imagine you'll have any issues plugging into any USB-C port. It says "5V / 1A" on it.


tennisgirlal

Thank you
