![]() You’ll have 40 workouts to choose from for the watch to track, and Fitbit will provide you with a Daily Readiness score to help you get the most from your day. But as for Fitbit, your heart rate, blood oxygen, activity, sleep info, and more all filter into it, and the service will provide insight into your health. This was something that we have been waiting on for Wear OS ever since Google purchased the health and fitness wearable brand in January 2021.įitbit’s data chops will be in full effect on the Pixel Watch without mentioning if or how Google’s own Fit platform is involved. The Fitbit integration is unique in terms of software and the Pixel Watch. With a refreshed UI and rich notifications, see even more at a glance so that you can stay present at home, at work, or on the go." According to Google, "The new Wear OS experience is designed to feel fluid and easy to navigate, bringing you the information you need with a tap, swipe, or voice command. It's unclear if there will be any special features or integration specifically with Pixel phones as Galaxy Watches do with Samsung smartphones.Īs for Wear OS 3.5 and how well it does or doesn't work? Well, for that, you'll just have to wait for our full review when we have more time to spend with it. Sorry, no Pixel Watch love for the Apple fans. But the smartwatch will work with any Android device running software version 8.0 and up. The watch will have tight integration with your Google account and interact seamlessly with your other Pixel devices. So, is the Pixel Watch following the same path? Of course. Instead of relying on software magic to stand out in a crowd. Google hasn't always gone for the most powerful hardware in its devices.

Though Samsung's feature isn't yet active, the hardware is there and ready for use. So no temperature monitoring like on the Apple Watch Series 8 or the Galaxy Watch 5 series. For example, when scrolling through a menu with the haptic crown, it is a short tap but something more noticeable for an incoming message.Īs for sensors in the wearable, you're getting a compass, altimeter, blood oxygen sensor, heart rate, and a multipurpose electrical sensor for tracking your health and fitness endeavors. I asked one of the Googlers on hand about the haptics and was told that you'll get different haptic feedback depending on what is happening on the watch. Google says the watch has "premium haptics," and when I used the watch, the vibrations did feel purposeful. The Pixel Watch comes with 2GB RAM and 32GB storage. That was last seen in the Samsung Galaxy Watch 3, an excellent watch for its time. We'll be putting this processor from 2018 to the test. The Pixel Watch is launching with Wear OS 3.5 with an Exynos 9110 SoC running the show.

While Google did have the metal bands at the hands-on event and felt well-made, they won't be available at launch. The leather bands feel high-quality and like they will wear nicely over time. I like the woven bands and how Google incorporated colors from the rest of the Pixel lineup into them, which the stretch band also does. The other band options are also quite lovely. ![]() They don't feel so thin that they'll break easily or too thick and stiff. As for how these bands feel, they have a pleasantly soft feel and are overall quite nice. They connect much like the Apple Watch has done since it launched. That band is the rubbery active band with two sizes for wrists 130-175 mm round or large for 165-210 mm around. As for the single 41mm case, I have large wrists and enjoy watches like the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro and the TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra, but I think the size is a good middle ground that should look good on many different-sized wrists.Īt launch, Pixel Watch, you can't pick your band style that comes in the box aside from its color when you purchase the watch. When I was told that Google was using stainless steel for the casing, I was concerned that it would be really heavy, but the 36g is quite comfortable on my wrist.
