Cool. I've been in similar promos where they tried to catch people out, void a claim, and offer no 2nd chance or conversation but I notice it said they'd come back if they need more info so seems like a more genuine promo.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] the_alchemis7:
There's this case I saw,

If you don't get the black one.

Ringke Slim Case [2 Pack] Compatible with Google Pixel Watch 41mm, Bezel [Frame Only] Premium PC Hard Thin Cover - Clear & Black https://amzn.eu/d/7CmbCoc
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
Just received my approval text message and email.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Bxperiaz3:
Why didn't you take the watch and sell it in that case?

Same here although Im not really sold on it. I might just sell mine when it arrives
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
Main issue I have is battery life. My current smart watch gives 11-14 days. Also, the pixel watch is tiny. I'm 6'2" and I have big hands and wrists, I tried my work colleague's Pixel Watch on and it looked a bit silly.

But conversely my wife is only 5' and has small hands and wrists, it will suit her so it will be a nice surprise.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Oorgle1337:
claim for what exactly, rma? just wondering as i saw this thread and my watch is coming in on friday.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
A free watch or buds if you purchased the phone between the 6th and 17th of October.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Oorgle1337:
Wait what?? i ordered oct 6 via pixel pass and got $200 credit didnt see anything about free watch or buds...is it bc i got the credit or did it via pixel pass or did i screw something up?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
Depends where you ordered it maybe. And alao maybe the country.

In the UK the Pixel 7 Pro purchased between the 6th and 17th comes with a free Pixel Watch if you ordered direct from Google or you can claim a watch from the 1st of November if you bought a 7 Pro from certain selected stores between the 6th and 17th. That's what this thread is about.

Check the link

Pixel 7/7 Pro Launch GWP
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Oorgle1337:
USA and from google store, contacting their support to see...*crosses fingers*
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Ghisy:
The Pixel Watch or Buds Pro were only offered in France, Germany and the UK if you pre-ordered a 7 Pro or 7 (respectively) from the Google Store or specific retailers. If you ordered straight from Google, the watch (or buds) came with your phone. If you ordered from anywhere else, you have to claim your present and wait for it to be delivered within 60 days.

The US got that $200 offer you got.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Oorgle1337:
what a joke. $200 doesn't even cover the cost of the basic watch. *sigh* anyways ty
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Shumitu:
USA did not have such promotion. It was mainly promo for some countries in Europe like Germany, UK.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Nekromantik:
mine was approved 2 hours ago

not sure if I will sell or use
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] AngelNine:
Because ebay was already full of these smartwatches from others and I thought the price will already be lower than the in ears.

In ears were hardly sold on ebay, so I had a better chance to get more of my money.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
No chance. In the UK the Pixel Buds Pros are £179. The Pixel Watch is £350. Even taking into account supply and demand on eBay, there is no chance you will get more for the buds. I'd be amazed if you see a new Pixel Watch go on eBay for less than you can get the Buds new in a shop, never mind on eBay where they will inevitably go for less money.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] meleelord:
Submitted my claim at midnight and got it accepted at 7 this morning. Will be keeping an eye on the DHL app if they send it out via them, like they did with the Bose headphones last year.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Crackeds:
Claimed this mornin, confirmed and approved 1 minute later
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Nekromantik:
I should have done it at midnight on 1st to secure a black color. Hopefully they have enough for first 24 hours of applicants. If I get rose gold then will sell for sure haha
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] miimaa:
I bought my phone from Amazon.de and I live in Finland.

I didn't see the proposition that the you have to live in Germany. And the promo-rewards.com says "Mail forwarding addresses are not accepted" so I believe I lost my watch. :(
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Bxperiaz3:
Yeah this was basically my thinking. Watch is worth more all day even if you have to wait a bit for a buyer
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Nettwerk:
Finally my claim accepted as well.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] the_alchemis7:
Has anyone got any updates on a delivery date for their claim?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] meleelord:
Nothing yet, hopefully soon! I've got the DHL app installed in case there are any delivery updates from them (Presuming it will be them!)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Nekromantik:
its not even been a week lol

they say 90 days so i suspect first batch will be start of December maybe
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] emontes:
60 days, I believe they do that to prevent people contacting them after a week :)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Nettwerk:
Mine says delivery in 60 days.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] farnsbarns:
It's "within" 60 days. No one knows but if guess they start going out in a week or two.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Nekromantik:
oops yeah its 60 so thats 2 months but we wont get it that quick

i did the bose headphones claim last year and it took 4-5 weeks to get em
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] dodgebizkit:
what's this? I ordered a pixel online through google (UK), can i put in for a free watch claim? :O
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] farnsbarns:
In the thread you'll find the dates, the participating retailers and the claim link. Google sent them out with the phones if ordered direct so I'm guessing you were outside the date range.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Nekromantik:
no

the offer is for certain retailers like currys, cpw, very etc

offer was not on google store this time
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] StrangerWeather:
Getting impatient. ;)

Has anyone heard that their watch has shipped yet? I ordered mine on 1/11 and was approved the same day.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] meleelord:
Could be a while yet!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] LahiruRD:
Claimed on 1 of november, nothing new yet.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
Up to 60 days. It's been 10.

Patience.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] StrangerWeather:
Just checked, it was 22 days for my Bose Headphones to be shipped last year when I bought the P6Pro... Patience indeed. :)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Nekromantik:
yes i have no idea why people think 7 days later they will ship it haha you need to wait at least until the claim period ends. which is end of month
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] exocetdj:
Date claim updated has changed from 1 November to 11th although status is the same

It did this with my s8 ultra case claim a day or two before changing to shipping and I believe they use the same company for Thier rewards system as Samsung in the UK. Fingers crossed although no doubt means nought 🤣
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] meleelord:
It's been shipped! :)

It's coming by Yodel, although didn't mention it on the email or website, I only saw as it came up on the app.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] AmyClaraRose:
How did it pop up on yodel if you don't have tracking info/number
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] meleelord:
If you're registered on a courier app with your address details, it will pick up the tracking info automatically when something is shipped to you. Same happens with DPD and DHL etc.

It's coming from IngramMicro.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] LahiruRD:
Same, just got a SMS saying shipped
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
Mine still listed as Approved, but as I made my claim on the first day, I hope to hear something in the next 24 hours.

Anyone in the UK had it posted?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] meleelord:
Yodel is waiting to receive mine, I'm in the UK.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
Did you make your claim on the 1st?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] meleelord:
Yeah I did mine at midnight when it became available
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] AmyClaraRose:
I did mine so fast on website it said I started the claim 31st of October you lucky
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] exocetdj:
what colour did everyone get that has had the status shipped?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
Makes sense. Did mine around 9am so expect to get something tomorrow saying it's been posted.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] meleelord:
Polished Silver case/Charcoal Active band
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] exocetdj:
nice choice man - went with obsidian myself - hopefully everyone gets what they choose
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Nekromantik:
damn yodel/hermes!! they always deliver to the wrong flat they are useless lol
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] seadersn:
so uk gets it first as it looks? may I ask from where you did buy the p7p from? here for me it's germany and o2; I'm hoping hard for being served very soon since my current clock dies atm xD
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
I purchased mine from Very, and I made my claim around 0900 of the 1st of November, and it was approved that evening about 1730. Some people in the UK who made their claim at midnight of the 1st, around 9 hours before myself, have already had their watches sent. So I suspect mine might be sent today at some point but I'm in no particular rush as my wife checked one out in the Vodafone store on Saturday and has already claimed it.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] emontes:
Amusing to know I claimed mine after midnight on the 1st November and being approved later that day, just checking now the tracking site it says "last update 14/11/2022" so no idea what's going on :)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] seadersn:
hmm, i've got an unknown package registered at dhl with no message from anywhere else: "redirecting from 4px express". it only can be the watch, nice nice :)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] meleelord:
Mine updated on 11/11/22 saying the same thing and then yesterday it shipped.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] emontes:
Cheers! Hope you get the colour you wanted.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Nekromantik:
I hope it's DHL instead of Yodel for items worth 350 quid!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
Yup, Yodel are to be avoided, a terrible courier from my experience, even worse than Hermes or whatever they're now called.

I actually wonder what comeback there would be if the 'award' isn't delivered. Who would you be meant to go to if some dodgy delivery driver nicks it or it simply 'goes missing'? Would Google send another, or would you be expected to just deal with it given that it's something that wasn't paid for.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] seadersn:
since it's shown up in my dhl account i'm positive :) i even don't know yodel...? hermes, jep, i know; mixed experiences with them... the last two years were okay when hermes delivered packages to me, but the years before were terrible...!!

hopefully it's the colour i've chosen (obsidian), when it's pink i"ll cry lol
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
I don't believe Yodel operate in Germany. Think yourself lucky.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] seadersn:
looks like it's been sent from china. means (most likely) that it will arrive earliest in two to three weeks -.+
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] StrangerWeather:
Just got my email:

"All rewards are sent by our courier service, Yodel. They will contact you with a delivery update soon – that's if you haven't received it already."

Claimed in the morning of 1 November, 9 or 10ish.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] farnsbarns:
I just got a shipping notification having claimed just after midnight on the 1st of Nov. Now it's just fingers crossed it's not a horrible colour. Requested black.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Nekromantik:
I claimed 9am also but no emails yet.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
Nothing for me yet, still listed as approved. However, contrary to what I thought, I claimed at 1030 on the 1st, and not 9am. So I suspect I will get my notification tomorrow.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] emontes:
I claimed mine 5 past midnight and still haven't got any email so not sure how they are handling them, maybe tied to which company you bought it from , totally random or maybe by colour?

Not sure.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] meleelord:
Mine is coming on Thursday with Yodel
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
Next week then. 😉
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] StrangerWeather:
Yes, I just checked and it was actually just before midday when I claimed mine on the first. I'm with EE and asked for the Hazel one.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] exocetdj:
mine hopefully is imminent then as i claimed at 12.45pm and was approved at 19.09pm the same day

has anyone had a black one shipped yet?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] meleelord:
Won't know until it arrives, doesn't say on the shipping email what colour it is, will be a surprise!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Nekromantik:
seems random. dont matter if you bought from EE or Currys if you claim via that website its via same company.

unless they shipping colors together.

mine was black, those who had shipped emails what color did you request?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Nettwerk:
I requested hazel color. Will see what comes.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] J0nhy:
How this works? I purchased my p7p on those dates directly on US google store
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
You don't get a watch or the buds in the US, it was exclusive to European countries like the UK and Germany I believe.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] the_alchemis7:
Same i claimed shortly after midnight on the 1st no updates on any shipping yet
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] seadersn:
summary of my claim in Germany, UTC/GMT +1:

I claimed on 1st of november at 6:30 am, positive feedback message arrived 6 hours later = 12:30pm. first happiness kick.

next was an status update on 11th on googles promotion partner site = low happiness kick.

then, on 15th, there was an update in DHL app (without any mention on googles promotion site btw) that some package is registered, awaiting arrival at dhl. DHL app (I've got an account at DHL, anything that's sent to me is automatically inserted and registered there. what's really nice and practical) tells me that another carrier called '4px express gmbh' (never heard of them) is sending it to them and they're waiting for it = next light happiness kick, because 4px will take roundabout 2weeks until it delivered to DHL. promotion sites status didn't change since 14th.

next kicks pending (low = DHL got the package and will deliver soon. heavy = when it arrives; followed by depressions when it's not the colour I've chosen :LOL:).
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] exocetdj:
I know patience is a virtue and all that but the waiting for shiny new things is making me vape a tonne more flower lol:ROFLMAO:
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] LahiruRD:
Mine was shipped on 14th via DHL, I'm awaiting their email. When I claimed on 1sr of November, I had the choice to select between 4 colors. I took the black one. I live In France.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] farnsbarns:
Had confirmation from Yodel (blek!) That they will deliver on Friday.

UK

EE

Black/obsidian requested.

Claimed just after midnight on the first.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Nekromantik:
no emails yet for me
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
Me neither, still listed as approved and I requested what I thought would be the easiest colour to source, silver with a black band. Got to be random, at first I assumed it was first come, first served, but I put my claim in only 9 hours after another person on here who had their email a couple of days back.

I'm fortunate that this is going straight to my wife, or the wait would be far more annoying. As it is I'm sort of looking from the outside in, and she is the one constantly asking if it's been sent. ;)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] StrangerWeather:
Has yours arrived yet? Got an email from Yodel with a tracking number; mine will be delivered on Friday.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
I post that and less than 10 minutes later my email from Google arrives. Downside is that it's being delivered by Yodel.

I'm not going to hold my breath that it will arrive before the middle of next week (assuming it gets delivered at all given that it's Yodel being used), so I'm not saying anything to the wife.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] StrangerWeather:
I've never had any problems with Yodel. They usually come on their bikes lol...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
They get on them as far as I'm concerned.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] the_alchemis7:
Has anyone ordered their pixel through John Lewis?

I'm still awaiting any update aside from approved
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
Where it's ordered from is irrelevant I suspect, it will be mostly down to when you made the claim.

I think everyone on here who has received notification from Google that it's been sent made the claim in the first 12 hours of the window, or before midday on the 1st of November.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] emontes:
I don't think it's when (my email when I finished my claim came at 00:05). I am starting to think it's related to where you ordered it from. Mine was at mobiles.co.uk.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] exocetdj:
shipped :}
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
I think it's a combination of factors, but the main one is the time ordered I still believe. I'm struggling to believe that Google approve a claim, then fast track some in comparison to others simply because it was bought from a particular vendor. It's either a valid claim or isn't from their perspective, and I think the delay on yours could be another factor.

How long after your claim did you receive notification of approval?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] emontes:
Could be, yes.

Next day around 16:00.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] the_alchemis7:
I claimed shortly after midnight, and approval notification was 9:53am same day
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
So on the 2nd? Or the same day, on the 1st?

Which matches my time frame, claimed around 1030, received approval 1730 same day.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] meleelord:
Update: Got mine through today and it's the colour I wanted! Hope you all get yours okay! Yodel delivered a day earlier than they estimated :D
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
That picture on the box is the colour I ordered.

How long after Google said it had been posted did you get any contact from Yodel? Had the Google email 4 hours ago.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] meleelord:
I got an email from Yodel the next day, and then received the watch the next day (today)

If you have the Yodel app and are signed up with your address etc you should be able to see the parcel.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
Got no tracking number yet.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] seadersn:
update on 4px package in dhl app: it's not the watch :( i've ordered sth (a longer time ago which i forgot) from amazon which seems to be sent from china. so, no update on pixel watch here. and it again looks like UK is getting it first, i've found no one from germany has a status change or email or package arriving from google.

is someone here not inside UK who has an update regarding the watch?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] T1Cybernetic:
I submitted my pixel watch claim on the 1st of November but apart from confirmation of my claim I have not heard anything about it being posted yet. As soon as I know anything I'll update here ;)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] exocetdj:
Due for delivery tomorrow but already at delivery hub , could be today lol
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Nekromantik:
I kinda knew yours is not watch as make's no sense for Google to pay to ship it from China. They have distribution in most countries. 😊
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Bxperiaz3:
Mine just landed! All black lte. Wish I could open it 😂
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
Now out for delivery according to an email from Yodel, estimated 4pm this afternoon. From nothing to delivery in less than 24 hours.

Still not told the wife. Might put it on and see how long it takes her to notice when she gets in from work.....
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] StrangerWeather:
Mine arrived this morning. Hazel colour which is what I had selected. :giggle:
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] exocetdj:
delivered and colour i chose (black - in uk)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] StrangerWeather:
Guys, this is my first smart watch so this is probably a silly question, but if I wanted to use the watch independently from the phone, eg, to go for a jog, would I need to pay for a new Smart Watch plan with its own phone number on top of my phone plan? :unsure:
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] meleelord:
You don't need to no, it will sync up all the info when you get back to the phone
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
Arrived, and got the colour I ordered.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] seadersn:
first german users are reporting that they've got the sending message, me too now. nice, let's wait and see when it arrives.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
Ok, a quick verdict. I've played around with it for a couple of hours or so after pairing to my phone. It's nice, but I've seen nothing to make me regret agreeing to give it to my wife.

It feels and looks great, but just using it for an hour (with the screen on for most of that to be fair) and updating the firmware resulted in a battery drop of 20%. I can't deal with that after being spoilt by the Huawei GT2 with its 10-14 days. No doubt a couple of full charges will improve things, but all the reviews I've seen indicate that any fitness features being used and/or a lot of notifications result a day of use but no ability to then sleep in it without a 20-30 minute charge before you go to bed. Just too inconvenient.

Also, I have big hands and wrists as said previously. And at only 41mm, it looks a bit girly on me, for want of a better expression. I prefer the more traditional watch look of my Huawei.

It feels so premium though, and I love the crown. And it doesn't look like a watch out of a Christmas cracker, which the Apple Watch has always looked like to me.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] exocetdj:
Behold my feminine wrists 😂😂😂😂😂😂 watch fits me well
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
One annoying thing I've noticed. I've given the watch to my wife, as indicated, but despite having it paired to her Samsung S21, I'm continuously getting requests to also pair it to my P7P, by virtue of the fact I'm in the same house as the watch. Each notification can of course be cancelled, but there doesn't appear to be a way of cancelling it and stopping all future notifications. It's happening every 2-3 minutes and is starting to annoy the hell out of me, not to mention playing havoc with my phone's battery life.

EDIT - think I've seen the issue. She left it at home today (I'm WFH) as the battery had no charge, so I think these auto pairing requests only happen when it's not connected to the watch it's currently paired to. I hope. Will see later when she gets in from work.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Nekromantik:
still no dispatch :(
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] farnsbarns:
It arrived. Got the colour I wanted.

Getting the eSIM sorted was a nightmare.

Maybe this will help anyone on ee...

You'll be offered 2 plans, both 10GB of data with calls and texts shared with the phone but no info on price or contract length. There's no difference. £7/month on a 30 day contract. Choose either.

If you then get a 212 error, reboot your phone and keep trying. I spent a good couple of hours messing about speaking to various people at ee and tried again several times while on hold and eventually it just worked.

There's a system update which is either huge or coming via the phone by Bluetooth. Taking for ever.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] nomfway:
Has anyone bought their Pixel from Amazon.fr and received thier watch? Claimed the watch on 1st Nov, approved on 4th, now that I just visited the promo site again it shows Last updated: 11-15. Yet to receive any emails since 4th. BTW I picked Polished Silver case / Charcoal Active band.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Nekromantik:
Everyones said updated 11th even in UK now you have to wait for email or text message to say its been shipped. They say 60 days since approval so could be anytime.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
The wife absolutely loves it, she came from a Samsung Watch 3 on Tizen.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] seadersn:
i love it too :love: it arrived today, the colour i've chosen, fully set up now and first payment already done with it (y) at the same time protection covers and a metal band arrived, so perfect alltogether now. the only thing i don't get is how to install the protection on the watch without bubbles...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] nomfway:
Oh definitely! Seeing comments here that people are starting to receive them, have me worried that they might forget about mine XD
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] exocetdj:
battery is pretty good compared to my old watch 4 (42mm classic) - c25% used from 9am to 7.30pm - my old watch would have tanked it by then lol
