Morning Brief on the Pixel Watch 3 is way too brief and not too morning-y

To be clear, I am not a morning person by nature, but years of obligational early starts have trained me to handle waking up fairly well. I may have insane bed hair, and I will definitely not be able to see my own hands until I locate my glasses, but I do functionally adhere to the proverbial “up and at ’em.” In other words, I like to get my day started at a clip because if I’m getting up, then it might as well be for a reason. So, when Google announced the new Morning Brief feature headed to the Pixel Watch 3, I was excited to see a tool that would join me from groggy to caffeinated. Instead, the inconsistency of the new brief has left me wondering if even a smartwatch tool can hit snooze.

Inconsistently accountable

The prospect of waking up early is rarely exciting, but according to health professionals, consistency is key. Unfortunately, no one seems to have told Morning Brief. Since starting to wear my Pixel Watch 3 regularly, I’ve had multiple days when I don’t receive my briefs until well after I’m out of bed and have gotten my day started, and by “well” I mean hours later.
