I did the Pixel 8 Pro + Pixel Watch 2 deal, with the trade in of my Pixel 7 Pro. Can't really say there is much of a difference between the 7 Pro and the 8 Pro. My original Pixel Watch was all banged up, so I was looking to get the PW2 anyway, and with the $420 trade in for the 7 Pro, I decided what the hell. I got the Spiegan rugged band for the watch, so hoping it will protect it a little bit. Makes it look more natural on my fat wrists too. The Pixel Fold 2 might be in my future, but the outer screen has to be bigger than the original for me to consider it.
Never cared about the color of devices before, always went with black but that Bay Blue is pretty nice. But what's the point. Like 99.99% of people, my phone is in a case, I'm using a different watch band, and I'm not going to re-buy my Pixel Buds Pro just for the new color.
Nice improvement on battery life on the Pixel Watch 2, Pixel 8 Pro seems to not get as warm. But overall not much of a difference for either device versus their previous generation.
Besides hoping to see an improved Pixel Fold, if there is going to be a Pixel Tablet 2, that needs to be vastly improved. Very disappointed in that Pixel Tablet, but it has great potential.
