Fitbit Charge 5 or wait for the Pixel Watch

This past week Google and Fitbit announced a pretty sweet-looking Charge 5 with some great features to boot. I like what Fitbit has to offer with this device but I couldn't help but think about what is Google going to do this year. Is a Pixel Watch coming in the Fall? What features will it have? I feel like I am in limbo with what I am going to do here. Let me explain...

Currently, I am using a Fossil Gen 5 smartwatch and it gets the job done, for the most part. However, as of late the Fossil watch has been prone to show its age and things just don't work as well as it has before. Also, with Wear OS 3 here there is really no future with the Gen 5 smartwatch I have as it will not receive the update. Now, this brings me to my debacle. It's rumored that Google will have a Pixel Watch this year and that would be my preferred choice but there is no real evidence out there. So... Do I wait or go with an option from Fitbit.

I tend to favor watches or smarwatches in this day and age because I like to see my notifications, glance at the news, or check my daily health stats. I can do the same thing with Fitbit or tracker and I would be happy with it but will miss the look of having a watch on my wrist. The cool thing is that I don't have to make a decision now as the tracker I am considering in the Charge 5 won't be available until this Fall when the Pixel Watch may be revealed. 

I guess I know what I'm going to do just wish we had some hard evidence of there being a Pixel Watch. For now, my plan is to go with a Charge 5 if there is no Pixel Watch. Considered the new Galaxy Watch for a split second but admittedly am more of a Google guy that prefers their UI and services. Not switching to Samsung Pay or Bixby. 

So those are my thought but let me know what you think. Are you a tracker person or a watch person? And, do you believe a Pixel Watch is coming this year? Let me know in the comments below.
