Congrats! It’s Pixelmas!
Watch 2 is vastly superior to my Watch 1, way quicker, zero lag.
Ooo I have only just opened the box. I love the packaging. Can't wait to set it up.
Just ordered 2 watch bands coming tomorrow. Used the Google 1 cashback I got for my Pixel 8 order plus the 10% employee discount through my work which got me a leather band and a woven one for £56. Pretty good!
Yeah you should have seen some movement by now. Maybe contact Google support to see what they say.
Wow, looks great! I have the same case waiting for me with my Obsidian P8 Pro, that Bay colour looks better than I expected for the official case.The case has arrived
Now just wait for the phone tomorrow
The box confused the hell out of me, it looked like it was upside down when I tried both ways until I realised it opens like a book. 😂
Man the Pixel 8 Pro feels so light, I love it. Just need Amazon to deliver my case now.
I have ordered a clear case. The Bay is too good to cover up, even with the Bay case! Plus I didn't want silicone although from memory the official Google cases are much better than Apples at not sticking in the pocket.
That is so good to know! I hate when they stick to you.
don't hide that color ...
Just sent my iPhone 14 off to Google for trade in. Let's see how long it takes to be refunded and HOPE that no money is knocked off. It absolutely shouldn't be, that thing was pristine.
I've ordered the carbon fibre Mous case, I did nearly order the Bellroy leather but I have a magsafe popsocket I liked using on my 14 Pro Max which I'd like to keep using.
Which extra watch bands did you order? I might go all out and get the metal link band. I have £99.90 credit from Google One so it's basically half price.
I went with the sage (but looks more blue) woven band and I went for the dark blue leather band.
I already have the yellow / lime green woven band from Pixel Watch 1 which I love and I have the blue silicone that came with my watch 2.
I am sooo tempted by the metal Milanese style band.
I have the Obsidian, Hazel, Charcoal and now Porcelain (wife is having that) silicone bands, I need something different. 😂
My wife also wants one of the 2 tone leather bands for Christmas but I'm not keen on leather bands on any watch.
I'm at 100% on my irritation level with my iPhone 15 Pro Max (GPS & battery issues where Apple has been ZERO help), so I ordered a Pixel 8 Pro after seeing the keynote (and having previous experience with a Pixel many years ago). Does anyone have any tips on how to swap back and forth between iOS & Android on Verizon?
I thought about getting a new line (it was like $15) and then swapping the devices between my main number but I'd love to not have to contact Verizon each and every time I wanted to swap.

You and @UltraInstinct have got me looking at other watch bands now! The Milanese style looks very classy. My Watch 2 is the black matte / Obsidian so any colour band should work well.
Decent unboxing in German of the Bay P8 Pro.
Expect official reviews to hit YT today in about 2 hours when the embargo lifts.

You should be fine. Here in the US they use the company that they use as their service outlet, uBreakiFix. The three things they look for are: 1)if it turns on, 2)is the screen cracked?, 3)has the phone been reset. The rest doesn't matter. I was told this by a uBreakiFix store rep over the phone.
I've sent off a Pixel 4a and got back what I was quoted.
Stay away from Bellroy, I have it for the P7P, and the corners started wearing off in a couple of months. And this was only from the wear and tear of taking my phone out of my pocket, never dropping it.
The quality of leather doesn't sound good. I have a Bellroy black leather arriving, may have to return it.
Officially has been dispatched so will be here tomorrow 
Royal Mail though so could be anytime from 9 to 13.00

Anyone else in the US have an order that still says "awaiting carrier pickup"? I show a label was created Monday and a delivery date of Oct 12th, but it's not moved and it's many states away.
Bar the transfer of my WhatsApp chats (which was my error) which was a ballache, this phone has been a joy to use so far.
So I've turned off the iPhone now and it's a full week of Pixel usage to give it a fair shot.
