It's shit like this that's the reason I haven't gotten another pixel. My pix 5a died in within a year, I sent it to a Google certified repair shop, they couldn't fix it, concluded it needed to be sent to Google.

Once it got to Google they claimed it had water damage. It took me 3 months to go through all the bullshit and get a new phone from them. I had gotten an Azus Zenfone 9 by that point.

If you are a google product adopter in 2023 then you deserved to be relieved of your money.

This doesn’t surprise me. This is exactly what i would expect from google.

I own a pixel watch, I'm on my first RMA.

If they offer an upgrade option to send in my current watch for the new version, I'll probably take it. If I get 50% off or better, then I'm in.

Hopefully their second attempt is better than the first.

Same. I think that's smart as far as being able to trade it in. I haven't heard anything about Google Pixel Watch trade in though.
