I don't own a Pixel I use a Sony device(Great devices with terrible software). Pixels 3+ are by far the most secure android devices out there.
I recently bought a Samsung watch. It's a solid responsive device with ok software, depending on what you may do in the wearables app it may or may not crash(The watch itself seems to have good battery life and pretty stable). I had an apple watch for a while that I gave my mom and unfortunately I have to say the Samsung device feels like a device with a lot of potential but not quite there yet. A lot of it has to do with the ecosystem. Tizen seems great, but the app store is so-so. The entire samsung login, region, payment, app store experience feels half-baked compared to the experience on a mac/apple device. I've been recently trying to figure out if I should buy a samsung device to access the ToF camera, but the documentation is virtually none existent(it's scheduled to come "eventually")
I somewhat wish they would license their tizen version to other vendors since it's way better than the WatchOS alternative.
I haven't been using mac/iphones in a few years rather than to test stuff, so maybe it really got a lot worse since then. But from what I remember the general experience felt a bit more smooth.

- zentiggr 7y agoUnless there's been a foundational shakeup, I'd be wary of Tizen. There have been numerous reports of horribly shoddy development practices and massive bugs. Never used a Samsung myself so I'm just remembering stories.
- rjzzleep 7y agoI'm not at all surprised. The whole meego, tizen whatever development process was a complete mess. But then again android was too. I still think it's unfortunate. But, you can you elaborate?
- zentiggr 7y agoNot very well. Months ago I came across a couple of references to egregious security problems and outright horrid development practices, of which I've forgotten 95% of the content and only have the left over sense of "nope, don't ever want to rely on that ever". https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14752446 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14752446
