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 picked up the 41mm Pixel Watch 4 in Champagne Gold with the Lemongrass band at Best Buy, and I'm glad I did. The gold is warmer than the product photos suggest — not flashy, more of a soft understated shine that works with jeans or something dressier. What sold me in person was the edges. They're sleek and smoothly rounded, no hard corners anywhere, so the domed glass just curves right into the case and the whole thing slides under a shirt cuff without catching. Lemongrass was the part I wasn't sure about, but it's a muted, soft green-yellow that goes with more than I expected. It's become my default band. The thing I was most worried about was compatibility. I use a Samsung phone, and I'd read enough forum posts to be nervous about pairing a Google watch with it. Total non-issue. Setup took a few minutes, notifications come through exactly like they should, and I haven't had one dropped connection or weird sync hiccup since. On the technical side, it's rated 5 ATM, water resistant to 50 meters, plus IP68 for dust. I've had it in the pool, and I've stopped thinking about it — which is really the point. Worth knowing it's water resistant, not scuba gear, but for daily life it's more than enough. Charging is where it genuinely surprised me. Google claims 15 hours of charge in 15 minutes, and that's roughly what I see — a quick top-off while I shower and get dressed covers the rest of my day. Rated battery on the 41mm is about 30 hours, and in practice I comfortably get a full day plus the next morning. On a quiet day where it's mostly sitting idle tracking steps and pushing notifications, I've stretched it close to two days before it nagged me. I've settled into charging nightly out of habit rather than necessity. The new dock stands it upright and turns it into a little bedside clock, which is a small thing I didn't expect to like as much as I do. Heads up: older Pixel Watch chargers don't fit this one. Buying it at Best Buy with my membership made the whole thing easier too. The pricing worked out better than I expected, and having a physical store to walk into if something went sideways is worth something on its own. If you're on a Samsung and hesitating because of it — don't. Sleek build, great color combo, no regrets.

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

This is my first smartwatch and I am enjoying having technology on my wrist. Google sometimes does mess up with the updates (ex. recent Fitbit to Google Health rollout), but I do depend on this watch for notifications and seeing things at a glance without having to totally drop everything and look at my phone. Step tracking is a plus as well as sleep tracking. You do have to sign up for Google Health, but you do not have to pay a fee to use (only if you want extras). The band is comfortable and good for work and for workouts. I included a picture of me taking a picture of my watch using a single pinch gesture. The photo mode is pretty cool. I hope future software updates make this better. There is waterproofing and a water lock so this is safe to use for washing hands.

I bought a Pixel Phone first then decided to switch from my Garmin watch to this Pixel. Leagues ahead of the Garmin. I love being able to use a touch screen for checking notifications and adjusting settings. Also, besides just getting notifications through the watch from my phone, I can even take a call. I can use Gemini to voice open and select music through my Spotify app on the phone from the watch. This is very handy when driving. Best decision ever. I bought the stainless steel mesh band through Google store, more classy for work. The magnetic charger is so much easier than having to get the connector into a port.

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.

Fantastic. Completely fantastic. I can't compare it to previous versions, I was upgrading from an old Samsung Galaxy watch. But this thing is a real powerhouse. Charges so quickly. Can juggle so many tasks simultaneously. It's so cool to be able to see who is at my door just from my wrist. My need to take out my phone has diminished significantly.

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.

I like the style and how easy it was to pair with my Motorola razr.

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.

Very sleek and integrated well with my android device

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.
