Design & customization
As you’ve probably seen in the various teasers that Google shared over the last few months, the Pixel Watch features a pebble-shaped body with a Corning Gorilla Glass 5 dome on the top that seamlessly blends with a stainless-steel case. It features a digital crown on the right side along with a button and a microphone, a speaker grille on the left side, and a host of sensors on the back.
The Pixel Watch comes in three case finishes — Matte Black, Gold, and Silver — each with a complementary silicone band included in the box. But Google has also launched a host of other band options that you can purchase separately to customize its look.
The company has seven different types of bands on offer, ranging from bracelet-style straps for fitness enthusiasts to metal bands that give the watch a premium look. You can pair these bands with a wide range of new watch faces to further personalize the Pixel Watch.
Fitness tracking & other useful features
Along with a myriad of customization options, the Pixel Watch offers support for a wide range of fitness tracking features. The smartwatch runs Wear OS 3 out of the box and comes with the Fitbit app preinstalled, which offers features like ECG measurements, continuous heart rate monitoring, AFib detection, Readiness score, real-time exercise tracking, and sleep monitoring. To help users make the most of these features, Google is also offering six months of Fitbit Premium for free with the smartwatch.
In addition to the fitness tracking features, the Pixel Watch has a couple of other handy features on offer. These include notification support, calling/messaging support on the LTE model, Google Wallet payments via NFC, camera controls with the Pixel Camera shutter feature, new Google Photos watch faces, smart home controls with the Google Home app, and Google Assistant support. Other noteworthy features include an SOS mode for emergency calling with the Personal Safety app, fall detection support, and Google Fast Pair support.
As far as battery life is concerned, Google says that the Pixel Watch’s 294mAh battery will last up to 24 hours on a single charge. For charging, Google will ship the Pixel Watch with a magnetic charging puck with a USB Type-C connector which will charge the smartwatch up to 50% in just half an hour. A full charge will take about 80 minutes.
Google Pixel Watch: Pricing & Availability
The Pixel Watch is available in one size only, but buyers can choose between Bluetooth/Wi-Fi and LTE variants. The Bluetooth/Wi-Fi model will retail for $349.99, while the LTE version will set you back $399.99.
