Looking at the Google Store page that compares the Pixel Watch with existing Fitbit smartwatches (https://store.google.com/magazine/google_pixel_watch_compare), I'm not sure why most people would buy the Pixel Watch. It's more expensive than the Sense 2 and Versa 4, but it is not a clear upgrade in terms of features.

I think the "good looks" part is subjective... reminds me of those Oakley "over the top" sunglasses: https://www.maxim.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/oakley_atob...

Yes, it's definitely subjective.

To me the Google watch looks a little blob-esque and cheap. Similar to the Nickelodeon splat tat logo.

No iOS support either. It's also pretty hilarious that the Fitbits don't support Google assistant but only support Amazon alexa.
