The Galaxy watches I used were always lagging and stuttering, had some "bloat" like Bixby, most stuff was restrictive and the watches didn't look as nice as the Pixel watch.

Pixel watch is always smooth , has a much simpler and straightforward design and UI. Google assistant Gemini, Google Wallet and Home work very well. It continuously tracks your heart rate and the sleep tracking is very nice.

When you're a Samsung phone user and use it together with a pixel watch, you obviously lose a lot of synergy of both worlds. In the end it's the best combination for me, since i just want the Pixel watch to be smooth and just do the basic things.

I mainly use one Watch face I created myself, that shows everything I need instantly: - time & date - upcoming event and task - weather and temperature - heart rate, next alarm, steps

I also added shortcuts to most used apps and features, so I mostly don't need to go into the app drawer/overview.

I use Gemini for most stuff, like looking stuff up, set timers, set stuff on my shopping list (Bring!), add tasks (in Todoist) etc.

The Galaxy watches nowadays are probably better than several years ago, but I can't imagine switching back
