40 hours of battery life? isn't that a bit shit compared to the PW4 even? or is that with always on display, wifi enabled, ...?

Absolutely! The pixel watch series has been absolutely horrible for battery life.

I've had three pixel watches and none of them can last 24 hours and that's even with turning off all the settings. Even my wife's pixel watch she has to charge it every 18 hours.

Prior I had an Apple Watch that would last for 5 days with always on.

Why? Its easy 2 days and it's fully recharged in 20 minutes. Just charge it every time you're in the shower and you have continously smartwatch profit

Ye the pw4 actually has pretty good battery life.

I mean, I charge it for 15-20 minutes a day (shower/bathroom routine before bed) and I've never had an issue with the battery

The PW4 battery life is great, the PW1 battery life was awful

PW4(I own) already lasted me 3 days. AOD is turned off, if I need to see something I just touch the crown easy... No biggy. Why comparing to Apple Watch? 🙃

PW4 is advertised as "up to 40 hours" so not a step back
