Hope you like it as much as I do. I admit it was hard for me to move away from my AW Ultra but it has been sitting on my nightstand untouched for 2 months now.
I'm sure it's going to serve me well, I'm still keeping the AWU in rotation but looking forward to comparing

I recently got a black Apple Watch Ultra and I think it's fantastic. Activated e-sim and use it alongside my 9 Pro XL. Almost feels like it's connected to the Pixel :)

The AW Ultra is great and if the iPhone was my daily driver it'd be a no brainer to keep using it. But as I mostly am using Pixel and Samsung devices the Samsung Watch Ultra is a perfect fit for me. Lots of little things that get missed out on when you try to do a cross platform solution like that. I was trying to use my AW Ultra when on the lake this summer. I leave my phone in the boat but when i'm out in the water I like to use my watch to control what spotify is playing on my boat's stereo system. Can't do that when wearing a WatchOS device with an Android phone. Just little things here and there.

Yeah, I was trying to do the Family Sharing feature with the AW Ultra… have it connected to another family member’s iPhone while I use Android as my primary device.

But using the AW Ultra standalone without an iPhone is very limited… realized it after the first day and immediately gave up on the idea.

How are the Buds Pro 2 doing so far? Thinking of getting a pair for my Pixel Tablet/Google TV Streamer.
I've been using them a little bit, they are definitely very light which I like. When I tap controls from them they feel hollow lol, My left ear fits better than right so think I need to adjust to smaller tip for the right ear. Noise cancellation is good. I always find voice recognition to stop play back to be a little delayed but I feel the same on most my Android side buds compared to Apple Pros are spot on. Sound wise they are okay for music but I'm picky and I also like loud which I feel they need to be louder but personal preference. Plus EQ adjustments I barely notice. They are exceptional for calls which I'm on plenty for work and right now using only one from this morning it's 52% from full this morning.

This has always been my complaint with the Pixel Buds. I ordered a pair with my Google Store Credit which should be here by the end of the week but I may just not open them and send them back and keep my PB Pros from last year and maybe pick up a set of the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro.

I have Buds 3 Pro coming today, I will keep the Google Pros bc I like calls on them and use them strictly with P9PXl .

Let me know your thoughts on the B3P. I have ordered twice and cancelled both times just because I'm mostly using my Pixel devices and the B2P just make better sense to use with the Pixel.

Got to admit as an AirPods Pro user, they look great. Can you let us know what they like, maybe compare to AirPods Pro 2?
Definitely will run them though the paces, I briefly set them up last night and they are very lightweight. I changed the tips to a larger size for fit and noise cancelling. I'm switching to the Fold on Thursday so will see how they perform while out on calls and gym music.

How many of you guys here have the 9 Pro? Seems most bought the XL.

Interested in reading more experiences with the regular Pro. Size and battery are the only differences with the XL right?
