Does everyone else assume it'll be a joke/junk/horrible before clicking the link, or is it just me?

How can people tolerate a watch that's half an inch thick? That's like twice the thickness of my phone.

Eh, at least the bands won't be made out of "finewoven".

I have an AW Ultra, never notice it.

Edit: I absolutely love the watch so maybe I've just learned not to care, I agree it's a little bulky but the value I get out of it makes any bulk worth it.

I dont really understand how you could possibly care about thickness of a watch at the inch level

I really wanna like Google products but so many abandoned Google projects, inconsistent ecosystem, Google privacy nightmares, poor aftermarket experience, and lack of attention to UI and UX (remember the jump from Android 11 to 12?) have made me settle on iphone and Apple’s ecosystem.

My midsized Garmin is significantly thicker than my iPhone 13 mini. I don't really care though because it's lightweight. It's much lighter than any of the watches I ever wore as an adult.

At this size it interferes with putting your hands in your pockets.

I think if you decide at all that you want a smartwatch, with all the functionality that entails, you are aware that you’re going to have a thick object on your wrist, so you’re either not bothered by this in the first place or you make peace with it. For what it’s worth, I have an Apple Watch— which is considerably thicker than the Pixel Watch— and I don’t notice the thickness at all, except maybe when putting on formalwear with tight cuffs.
