Customer Ratings & Reviews

I think the Google Pixel 4 is the best Android watch for the price. It is much more comfortable than its previous versions. The bright display is much improved. The battery life lasts about 48 hours before recharging is required. It is comfortable and lightweight. Fitbit health tracking is comprehensive. It has a sleek premium look. I am very happy with my purchase.

I was initially iffy about buying the smaller version, but I feel like it fits better with my everyday activity. I work outside and so far I have unfortunately bumped the watch face a few times. Although I have bumped it a few times, I have no knicks or scratches on it. So the durability is definitely there. I charge it once a day for 30 minutes and it last more than 24 hours. I have the original band and it feels comfortable, although there are some more comfortable options available.

I really like the long lasting battery, the silicon bands are ok, but the watch itself has been great, easy to pair with my phone, lightweight. I use the alarm on it every day to wake me up, ny arm gets vibrated and the watch makes noise for that, other smartwatch features are as you would expect from a smartwatch

Purchased the Pixel 4 Watch for my wife and she says that the Pixel 4 watch is a good upgrade from an android watch that she had for several years. That watches operating system was no longer being supported. The pixel watch includes numerous features in addition to the phone, email, and messages applications. Being able to speak commands and other hands free features make this watch very easy to use. The pixel 4 watch was an excellent purchase.

It is comfortable and has so many options of things to add. I love it. I love that it tracks my heart beat and shows me the rhythm since I have an arythmia. I can answer messages with a keyboard. It tracks my workouts. You can choose different activities. I will definitely stick with Google Pixel Watches when it comes time for a new one. It is extremely durable and the screen is clear. The only issue that I have is that the battery drains pretty quickly and you have to charge it every 2 days. But it doesn't take long to charge and it magnetically connects to the charger.

I had been waiting for this new watch to be released by Google and I am so happy with my fitness addition. It is functional and wears so comfortably. This design is repairable with replacement of the battery and face. It will give me many years of quality service.

Compared to the latest offering from Samsung, the more stylish and modern look of the Watch 4 caught my attention. Upon seeing, feeling, and wearing the Watch 4 for the first time, I knew I made a good choice. The domed, curved Actua 360 AMOLED display is striking, bright, and very stylish, and I appreciate the slim bezels all around. The watch has a minimalist look but it projects premium vibes. The glass is silky smooth, and it’s highly responsive to my taps and swipes. The crown rotates smoothly and predictably, and it also offers a satisfying clickity feel and sound. The side button located above the crown launches the Recent Apps function, and I found myself using it quite often to quickly jump between apps. Thanks to the Snapdragon W5 Gen 2 processor with a Cortex-M55 co-processor, 2GB of RAM, and 32GB of storage, the Pixel Watch 4 is snappy and responsive. Apps launch quickly, and the transition animations don’t lag or have annoying janks. When compared to my previous daily driver – the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic – the Pixel Watch 4 is faster turning the screen on and off, have smoother animations, and launch apps and voice-activated functions way faster and with more accuracy, especially when it comes to using the “Hey Google” or Google Gemini voice interactions. The speaker is decently loud, and although it’s not an ideal way of carrying a long conversation due to privacy and volume reasons, it’s good enough for short and quick chats. Fortunately, the watch is also very comfortable to wear all day long. It’s relatively light, and the soft silicone watch band wraps around my wrist without causing wrist strain or pain, even when I’m typing away at work for eight hours long. I initially thought I would hate the silicone band and was planning on ordering a fabric band. To my pleasant surprise, it’s very well-made annd comfortable. I still might get a blue fabric band though just to switch things up once in a while. 😊 My main exercises are resistance training, running, and cycling, and I was quite satisfied with the accuracy of the sensors that tracked my heart rate, pace, calories burned, and form analysis. I also appreciated the more accurate and reliable location tracking made possible by the dual-frequency GPS built into the watch. Compared to the competition, I was disappointed to see that the Pixel Watch 4 was missing two functions I was used to having – VO2 max analysis and body composition measurement. Although I know they aren’t known to be highly accurate in a smartwatch, having those measurements are still useful and nice because it enables one to keep track of historical trends and get a sense of fitness progress and development. Hopefully Google will include those functions in the future. When it comes to the software and ecosystem side of things, Google has done a pretty good job setting them up. Wear OS 6 is snappy and performant, and the app store offers a huge library of useful apps, both free and paid. The default watch faces are fun, stylish, and useful, and the Google Pixel Watch app offers a myriad of options to set up and customize the Watch 4 to your liking via a well-organized and intuitively laid out app design. Besides looking good on the wrist, being fast and responsive, and having a strong ecosystem for apps, the Pixel Watch 4 is fortunately a battery life champ. Even with the Always-On display function activated, the battery got me through two days of usage. The charger recharges the watch very quickly, and its side mount design means you can lay the watch down on its side and be able to easily see the time and other information. The 5ATM waterproof and IP68 dust and water resistance ratings are no longer novelties but it’s always nice to have them than not so no complaints there. All in all, I think the Pixel Watch 4 is a fantastic smartwatch worthy of being strapped onto everyone’s wrists. It’s stylish and premium looking, it’s light and comfortable, the performance and battery life are great, the health fitness sensors and tracking are reliable and accurate, and the app ecosystem is robust and diverse. It’s not THE perfect smartwatch for me yet (due to some missing fitness functions), but the Pixel Watch 4 still has several strong and compelling traits that elevate it to a top-tier level, making it an easy recommendation to friends and family. I give it 4.5 Stars.

Fits comfortably. Was able to customize to my liking. Should have came with screen protectors to protect the watch face but you can purchase them cheaply on Amazon. I do have to charge more often than my old versa fit bit but it charges quickly. I do wish they offered different backgrounds, even though there are several, I would like inspirational quotes or encouraging phrases.

Fast charging and full of data. Tracking is consistent

Here is a watch that does everything you could ever want in a watch, except it’s missing time travel. Every feature is well thought out and works excellently. Screen: The screen is crystal clear and curves around the sides of the watch. The screen can be set to be always on which I prefer and even in this setting, it uses up very little battery. You can change the watch face to your liking with many choices available. The default face shows you about the most information at the same time. Now while the screen is very clear and bright, even in the sun, along the edges if there is small text, it is hard to read so I don’t think having the screen curve around the edges is very helpful or buying you anything. Battery: The watch takes around 35 minutes to charge. With the display always on, I can get around two days of battery life which is great. There is a small charging base that magnetically holds the watch sideways while it is charging. No aligning necessary like my previous watch which I always struggled to align the charger, it just works. While charging, it will display the current battery charge level and how many minutes are left to charge it, which is fairly accurate. Connection to Phone: There is a Google Watch app that you will need to install on your phone to connect the watch to your phone. The connection is very reliable, and I’ve had no problems with it. It was also easy to set up. If you step away from your phone, when you return, it will connect immediately. Notifications: When you get a notification on your phone, you will get a quick vibrate on the watch and will briefly show you who it is from and the subject. If you scroll to the notifications area you will get a list of emails you have received recently and if you click on one, it will display all the text in the email. Sorry, no pictures. I do find the vibration to be very short and therefore sometimes I miss it, except I hear the notification on my phone if it is nearby. I wish the vibration were a lot longer. You also can clear all the notifications on the watch and phone. There are also other watch specific notifications that you will see in this area. Now, I have found that if I have the phone set to silent, the watch will no longer notify you. There are various settings around syncing the notifications between the watch and phone, but I have tried every setting and can’t get it to work. This is unfortunate since I would like to silence my phone in the office and still know when I get a new email. As a result of this, I can’t silence my phone, which is frustrating. I wish I could find settings that would solve this but couldn’t. But maybe some combination of the settings will fix this. Features: If you scroll up on the watch face, there are a ton of buttons you can press to do various things. • Settings: A ton of settings to control the watch. • Displays the battery remaining and allow you to put it into battery saver mode. • Ring and notifications on and off. • Bedtime mode: turns off screen and notifications. Only alarms stay on. • Do not disturb: Silences all notifications except from certain people and apps. • Theater mode: silences everything and turns off screen. • Airplane mode • Flashlight. Turn the entire screen bright white. I was spectacle about this, but it works. • Set brightness • Water disable: Now this is a very important feature. I used to wear it in the shower and the water that hit it would activate the touch screen. As a result, I stopped wearing it in the shower until I discovered this. It would disable the screen while you are taking a shower or in the water and pressing the crown re-enables the touch screen. • Google pay: You can set up a credit or debit card on you Google account and this allows you to pay using the watch on the store’s card reader, like paying with your phone. • Google home: Allows you to control smart devices around your home. • Ring phone: Rings your phone from your watch, I assume to help you find it if it gets lost. Various other controls: When scrolling to the left/right. • Start an activity • Display weather • Current steps and goal • Average sleep hours and time • Heart rate • Contact someone configured on your watch • Safety check • Gemini • Calendar and events coming up • Maps for where you are, your work, your home and other locations, and how long it will take you to get there and the distance. Google Watch App: The Watch App allows you to change a ton of settings beyond the settings that you can set on the watch itself. You can change settings for: • Notifications o Mute notifications from your phone o Hide silent notifications o Allow new app notifications o Mute phone calls o Mute notifications on phone o Smart replies • Google account o Accounts o Backup by Google One o Digital assistant o Google wallet • Fitbit o Sync • Play Store for downloading apps to your watch, including watch faces • Watch preferences o General o Display o Gestures o Modes o Security o Wrist preferences • Safety and emergency (haven’t had a chance to use this yet so I can’t say how good it works, but that is a good thing. o Emergency sharing o Safety check o Emergency SOS o Car crash detection o Loss of pulse detection o Fall detection o Emergency contacts o Medical ID • System o Find Hub o Calendar sync o Transfer watch • Accessibility o Magnification o TalkBack o TalkBack shortcut o Font size You can also select your watch face and see how much battery you have left Activities: There are a ton, and I mean a ton of various activities to choose from. If you can do it, it is there. I’ve heard it is over 40, and I believe it. I’ve only tried a few and I can say they are all very accurate. It is supposed to automatically detect your activity and start tracking it, but I found this doesn’t work so well so I manually start the correct one when I start that activity. Fitbit App: You can (and should) install the Fitbit App to use with your watch. It will continuously sync with your watch for various statistics, and body properties. This is the best way to keep track of your activities. It keeps track of: • Steps today (very accurate, watched count increase as I walked) • Miles today • Calories today • Sleep duration (very accurate) • Daily readiness • Cario load • Running distance for the week • Exercise days • Hourly activity • Floors (very accurate, counted to compare) • Average heart for today (very accurate compared to another device) • Stress and mindfulness • Stress management for today It can also view previous day’s statistics. If you get the premium subscription, you can get coaching. I didn’t get premium so I can’t comment on it. You can also see your goals and badges you have earned. As I can see, most of the readings seem very accurate. Maps: The maps is a great app that keeps a list of various places you want to store, such as home or work, and will display them on a small map. With that, it will tell you how far away that place is from your current location and how long it will take you to get there. If you give it a category, such as restaurant as an example, it will find nearby places and give you info like your stored places. This can be useful, although you can get the same info, plus more, from your phone’s map app. Gemini: Press the Gemini button on the watch face and ask your question with its built-in microphone. The watch will respond with the answer in its built-in speaker. It works the same way as Gemini on your laptop or phone. After speaking to it, it heard me accurately 90% of the time. It can also control and read from apps on your watch or phone. I was also able to control YouTube on my phone from my watch. This Gemini feature works well and is so cool. Conclusion: Here is a watch that does a ton of things and does them all well. Because of all the features it packs in, there is a learning curve on how to use it. If you’re very active or you’re someone that just takes a stroll and wants to easily see their notification, which is my favorite part, and you have an Android phone, this is a must buy. I can’t really think of anything that needs improvement.

Google Pixel Watch 4 I recently received the Pixel 4 Watch in black and 41 mm. I was looking for a good smart watch that had better reliability than those knock-offs from China, and this was a great choice! The watch looked soooo sleek and smooth with the round face and the rounded edges. I have been wearing this watch daily for a little bit over a month and unlike other watches, smart or traditional, the watch face is still pristine with no scratches! Love! This is one watch that I am not embarrassed to wear to the office or a night out on the town. It looks good with everything! The watchband is made of silicone, and is comfortable. One can switch out the bands to some that are on the Pixel store, or some online that are available. Lots to choose from. In the box was a charging wire, but no cube. I had to buy a cube to charge, but that is ok since they are not that expensive. Charging is really fast, usually the time it takes me to take a shower, it is at 100%. I have yet to drop below 80% charge too, so the battery lasts quite long. Set up was a snap since I was a big Fitbit user since 2013, so had the app on my phone and my account was still active. I was not going to buy another Fitbit watch, and I always liked the information provided on the Fitbit app, so this worked beautifully. Connection was easy and the watch stays connected unless I walk the dog and leave my phone at home. However, when walking the dog, it still records my activity and keeps great time! As soon as I come back to the house, it automatically reconnects. I set up the watch to give me notifications from my phone, which is great! I can look at the watch and decide based on the message whether I need to get up and respond to it or read, etc.. I did have the watch answer my phone calls too, but found that to not be the best. I could hardly hear the person talking on the phone, so I had to raise the watch to my ear and then talk through it. Not for me. I turned that feature off. I do pay attention to my sleep duration and my sleep score as well as the resting heart rate and breathing. Ever since I got older, sleep has been a challenge for me, so I really strive to get good sleep, get a good score, and try to keep my stress under control and have good oxygen levels. Exercise is important to me too, so it is great to keep track. There are stairs in my house, so it is very interesting to see how many times I go up and down the stairs a day. I hate the stairs, but it is good exercise. I love that you can customize the watch quite a lot either through the app or on the watch itself like changing faces (maybe to match your outfit of the day?), and there are a lot of faces to choose from, changing target ranges for activities, sleeping, stress level, Cardio load, and even notifications for when your heart rate or breathing falls out of certain ranges, etc. One of the big things that I love (unlike early versions of Fitbit), the watch face is off when I am sleeping. Love that! I don’t get blinded at night from the watch! Overall, I really like the watch, how it looks, functions, etc. I am so glad I got it. I hope it lasts just as it is for many years.

Coming from Amazfit and Garmin products where battery lasted up to a week or more, i didn't expect much from Wear OS, how eer i can tell Google put much thought into the charging experience as a whole.

My wife wanted a new Fitbit. I bought her the new Google pixel 4, and she loves it. The watch has all the Fitbit features she wanted built in.

Lots of bells and whistles! Gemini works amazing. But I'm not sure how accurate the heart rate is but I'm sure people have checked. Oh, but the battery life is not the best.

It was amazing service and the staff were very helpful when I was there and looking for a smart watch. I love my watch and it is great quality.

This was a birthday gift for my Dad. He loves the watch. This is is first smart watch highly recommended.

The hallmark of Google products in general are their style and elegance and this watch is no exception. The Pixel watch 4 is a great looking, stylish and sleek watch that looks great on the wrists. It’s extremely light weight and feels comfortable to wear it all day. The display is stunning with Actua 360 domed display that allows viewing from any angle and the 3000 nits brightness enables to view it in bright sunlight day with ease. All the watch faces are great looking with customizable complications to display any information required. Speaking of information, this watch can track and display steps, distance in miles / km, calories burnt, floors climbed, heart rate, weather, battery and many other complications to choose from. Gemini is just a gesture away – lift the wrist to invoke Gemini. The watch has a decent speaker enough to interact with Gemini or to even take a call. With earbuds connected, you can summon the watch to call and take the call with earbuds. Google claims this to be the most accurate heart rate tracker (I will be verifying this when I go to the doctor’s office) and the watch can detect the loss of pulse and call the emergency services. The sleep tracker can track how long light and deep sleep and provide a sleep score. Setting up the Google Wallet enables to pay via watch, which is extremely convenient. Multiple cards can be linked and its v easy to choose from. I have used other leading brand watches for Android and undoubtedly, the Pixel watch has the most natural swap actions to navigate through the notifications, quick settings etc. The greatest highlight of this watch is the battery life. It easily lasts more than 24 hours with ease never needing a top-up on the same day. It charges extremely fast with 15 to 100% in just 45 minutes. Watch has a whole list of Activities that can be tracked. Common ones are Walking, running, Biking and a whole bunch of sports like Badminton, Pickleball, Canoeing, Cricket and many more. But my qualm with activity tracking is the inability to auto detect if I am on a treadmill or outdoors. I understand why the watch asks the user to tell the watch whether they are on a treadmill or outside - to track it accurately, but with location access ON and GPS options available, it’s a shame the watch doesn’t auto detect and relies on user input. After activity ends, once again the watch ask the user to confirm, which is even is even more annoying with sweaty hands. Getting the activity to auto track has been a tedious task. If you run into the same difficulty, please note, both activity start and end tracking auto detection needs to be enabled for this to work. Pixel 4 is a huge step up from the previous generations especially in battery and display department. This watch is a perfect companion to a pixel phone and when coupled with Pixel buds, it feels complete. Being a Pixel/Nexus user for the past 13 years, it’s a no brainer to use a pixel watch but I really wish Google would enhance the Auto Activity tracking features to make it a seamless experience.

I am a big fan of the Pixel watch. I have always liked its simplicity and clean looks. I own a Pixel Watch 2 that is being replaced by this Pixel Watch 4. They have much in common, and that is a good thing. The initial appearance is so similar, it is difficult to tell them apart. Both of mine have the 41mm bezel, which looks best on my small wrists. The Pixel Watch 4 has an improved display that is curved to result in a 10% increase in the active area, and the display is 50% brighter- up to 3000 nits which makes for better viewing in direct sunlight. This model offers integration with Gemini out of the box, which should be welcome news to those of you who have had the pleasure of interacting with Google’s AI persona. Richer colors are offered in the display, and a beefed-up haptic engine and custom speaker spice your interaction with this model. You will enjoy these new improvements the moment you finish setting up the watch. Battery life is said to be 25% longer, or up to 30 hours. My experience easily confirms this spec. This model certainly betters the battery performance of the Watch 2 which, for me, was not bad. The charger is different. The Watch 2 required you to lay the watch face up, being sure the cord came out on the same side as the stem. If you didn’t, you might find out later in the morning that you did not successfully fully charge the phone. A new dock has you place the bezel on its side, so that the face is vertical to you in bed, so that the time is visible to you lying in bed. A quick charge will result in a 50% charge in 15 minutes! I really like that feature as I walk with my wife in the morning after wearing the watch all night for sleep monitoring. The Snapdragon processor is 25 percent faster while drawing ½ the power. The Corning Gorilla glass and aluminum housing is water resistant to 50 meters, and now has a replaceable battery and display- a welcome first for this model. The Pixel Watch 2 already had me sold on its health and fitness features. A couple of months ago the phone alerted me to an abnormally high pulse rate while I was at rest, sitting at my desk. This warning had me visiting my provider and the ER as a precautionary measure. My issue has not evolved into an official diagnosis of AFib, but I now monitor that status on my Pixel Watch on a frequent basis. That feature is, of course, retained in the Watch 4, and it is a great one which is not always available as a feature on other smartwatches. Improvements to the health and fitness capabilities on the new model include better and more accurate sleep tracking and skin temperature sensing as well as more route tracking via GPS. If you monitor your walks, like I do, the phone uses AI to automatically detect and classify your activity, even if you forgot to start the monitoring yourself. This is perhaps my favorite of the new features. I liked the old model. I love the Pixel Watch 4 and recommend it.

Full disclaimer that I'm not the kind of person who really understands smart watches. I see friends and family with them, but I don't understand the point. I've tried one in the past - a fossil e-ink hybrid smartwatch - but I don't remember the last time I even saw it, much less wore it, or thought about it aside from now. All of this to say that I didn't really come into this knowing exactly how I was going to use it. I must confess that even after using it constantly for several days, I'm not sure I understand the point. I tend to not want to look on my phone. I don't like being attached to it, I don't like using it. A smart watch only makes me feel more attached to it, and it's not my jam. That being said, it has a lot of very cool functions, and gives helpful information. Not to mention that it can be used for sleep tracking, which I find very helpful. As far as looks, it's simple. Straightforward. Not trying to grab your attention. I like that a lot. I don't want to be flashy and loud with it, I don't want it to stand out too much. It's pretty comfortable, as far as watches go. The strap is a little obnoxious to secure to your wrist, as it's a bit unusual compared to every other watch I've used, but it's not difficult to put on or anything, and it stays very secure. It charges quickly, and the battery life is about a day and a half to two days, I've found. It's fantastic! I wear it to bed. I use it with Pokemon Sleep, for more accurate tracking. Pokemon Sleep itself is a little finicky, and so is the sleep tracking on the watch - if more than one app has sleep writing permissions, it won't track properly - but once you get that all figured out, it's excellent. It has a lot of functions I didn't use, but I think could be helpful for a lot of people. I don't think it's for people like me. But it's a lovely, feature-rich watch that would be great for a lot of people.

The Google Pixel 4 watch is a great all around smartwatch. It does everything that you would expect a smart watch to do, while having its own identity that is solidified by its own unique theme. Build Quality of the watch is very good. I was skeptical of the band that comes with it, but I was pleasantly surprised at the comfort of it. Its like its not even there. Its very easy to put on and take off as well. It comes with two sizes for bigger and smaller wrists. I used the bigger one, but I may have been able to use the smaller one as this one I have almost down to the last hole. The face of the watch is semi bubble shaped and after 2 weeks of use in a pretty rough job I haven't scratched it, so it seems very durable. The charging base is really nice as it allows the watch to double as an clock while charging. Battery life is decent as far as smart watches are concerned. I've been able to stretch a charge out for 2 days, but if I'm being active and recording my workouts, its about a day and a half. This aligns with nightly charging habits though so I had no issues. Only complaint I have with the watch is sometimes the touch detection isn't the greatest, requiring more finger tip to touch it to get it to respond than I would like. It also can get a little laggy at times when swiping or moving through apps. The software on the phone side is great. It allows you to customize tiles so that you get the information that you need readily available. There are also plenty of different appearances that you can select from.
