Best Android watch I’ve experienced! Granted, it’s also the newest but the other two are no slouches either. What makes the Pixel Watch 4 stand out are the plethora of sensors and true all-day battery life. In fact, it’s advertised to go for 30 hours and that’s about exactly what I’m getting. With the display in the “always-on” mode! I can’t even get my other watches to last 15 hours in that mode, so I’m already more than impressed. But to be able to maintain that battery life with a constantly running heart rate sensor and a couple other helpful sensors almost seems magical. It’s not a big watch either.
At 41mm it’s the smaller of the two Pixel Watch 4 models and a good fit for a small to medium wrist. I wear medium to large gloves and it’s right at the limit of what I’d consider small without looking out of place. I was a little worried about the screen display being smaller, but everything is remarkably sharp and easy to read. And if you want a better look it’s just a tap away on the touch screen display. Watch controls are by voice, touchscreen, and a little knob on the side that functions as a button and scroll wheel. Thankfully, the watch user interface is snappy, which also makes it a joy to use and explore its other capabilities.
If fitness and health tracking is important to you, you’ll love this watch. I didn’t realize it’s essentially a FitBit device as it’s one of the recommended free apps to download and a big part of how it measures and tracks your fitness. From heart rate, sleep patterns, steps, to calories burned, skin temperature, and seemingly even oxygen saturation, this watch has all of the latest fitness tracker options. I also love how it seamlessly integrates with Google Fit and the other devices I have synched to it. Things like my latest scale results automatically get added with the watch data to create a comprehensive picture of my health in the Google Fit and FitBit app. And if you’re shy about tracking some of your data, you can always opt out in the app settings or make an anonymous profile.
Thankfully, setting up the watch and Google Watch app was a breeze on my Samsung S25 phone. It can take a while to go through all of the options, but they’re fairly easy to understand and changing/customizing watch faces is simple as well. If anything, the most time consuming part is deciding what options you like, because there’s so many. Some of the notable ones you might not want to skip out on though are the sudden fall and car crash sensors. There’s even a no pulse detection monitor that will call emergency contacts and services if triggered. On top of that, there’s safety features like Emergency Location sharing that you can quickly activate if you’re in a troubling situation. It’s a feature I never really thought about wanting, but I can see it being quite beneficial today.
Should you get the Pixel Watch 4? Yes! I’m barely scratching the surface of what this watch can do so far, but I absolutely love it. It’s a good looking watch with a gorgeous display, outstanding battery life, and a whole plethora of useful sensors that I hope become a new standard. And what’s really neat is that supposedly all generations of Pixel Watch wrist bands are compatible as long as the body size is the same. So I should be able to use any generation of 41mm wrist bands for mine, which is pretty neat. And one more big feature is that it’s supposedly the first smartwatch that’s designed to be repairable. So a cracked screen doesn’t mean it’s the end of the road anymore!

This is the 2nd smart watch that I've ever owned, but the first one that I actually enjoy wearing. Its style, comfort, and functionality are all excellent.
Pros:
- This watch is perfectly balanced and lightweight, which makes it comfortable to wear. The silicone band does not irritate the skin and is well designed to wrap around your wrist with ease. The clasping design makes it easy to put on with one hand. There is an extra band provided for folks with larger wrist sizes. The smaller size worked perfectly me as I have fairly small wrists.
- The set up process was very simple. Everything is fairly automatic when using your Android phone. The Google Pixel Watch app helped quickly identify a nearby watch that was ready for set-up and I was able to get up and running within 5 minutes.
- It charges very quickly. I can take it from 50% to full in about 5-10 minutes.
- The default display provides me with all the information I could want/need and more (see photo). Not only do you get the date and time, but you can see the outdoor weather, and your heart rate. I love that I don't need to swipe to see these things and the display isn't overcrowded in any way. The interface provides easy access to other features via quick swipes.
- The AI tool, Gemini, can be accessed from the primary display with a single touch. I've found it very useful to get quick help or information without having to grab my phone from another room or even having to pull it out of my pocket
- All the features you would want in an activity tracker are present. Let the step counting begin!
Cons:
- It took me a few minutes to figure out how to dock the watch onto the charging base. Once I figured it out it makes perfect sense, but it wasn't obvious to me right away.
The design of this watch is extremely high-end and I am extremely pleased with it so far. I feel like it is going to make my life simpler and more convenient in many ways.

Worth the upgrade from the original Pixel Watch!

I finally upgraded to the Google Pixel Watch 4 because my original Google Pixel Watch could not last a day on a full charge anymore. I’m glad Google didn’t change most of the physical aspects, so most accessories can be used interchangeably. I own several bands already and I am able to use them on the new watch. The specifications stated that the bezel is now about 15% thinner, but I don’t notice it significantly.
The only major difference is the charger. Instead of charging on the bottom of the bezel, the charger is now sideways. Battery life is literally amazing! After a whole day, I still have a good 75-80% battery left. And I can typically get it to fully charge in 15-30 minutes. I can’t be happier with the battery life!
The screen is also much more vibrant, and notifications are bigger now, making it easier for me to see. One of the new functions that I noticed was the Loss of Pulse detection. You can set up to alert your emergency contacts just the same as if it detects you’re in a car accident. It’s supposed to ask you to confirm before it’s notifying your emergency contacts.
Overall, I’m super impressed with the updates and it’s totally worth the upgrade for me!

Pixel Watch 4 (41mm) - Wi-Fi - Matte Black

As a huge fan of the Google Pixel series of products, I couldn't wait to try out the new Google Pixel Watch 4!
There has been a lot already written and reviewed about the Pixel Watch in general. I'm going to focus on the stuff that is new to the Watch 4 specifically. Just know that the Watch 4 builds upon the already excellent Pixel Watch series and has added some meaningful upgrades that solidifies this as the best Pixel Watch to date by a very wide margin. It could quite possibly be the current best WearOS watch on the market and gives a solid running for one of the best smart watches, period.
First the foremost, the #1 best thing about this watch is it's battery life. Google states about 40 hours between charges, and I've consistently gotten 48+ hours after 2 straight weeks of use, wearing the watch 24/7 and enabling all of it's features. I haven't had to place the watch on the charger but once every 2 days! this is crazy from any other watch I've used to date, even including the infamous direct competitor to this one :)
This brings me to the next best thing about this watch, and that is charge time. From the 3-5% left battery I have after 48 hours pass, I place on the charger and within 40 minutes it's back up to 100%. After about 20 minutes it's nearing 80%. That's fast. The only con I have about the new charger is that it is yet another, different charger which makes all other Pixel chargers obsolete, including third part chargers. This makes it really hard for Pixel watch owners to confidently upgrade year after year and keep their previous accessories. I hope this one sticks around, with one exception. The charge port is on the underside of the watch which doesn't both me, but gives visibility to holes in the side of the case which many watch people may find obnoxious.
The new domed display with allows the OLED panel to reach to the edges of the case looks absolutely fantastic. The 41mm size I've been using is nearly identical to last years larger Pixel watch in terms of usable space and in a smaller footprint. I have smaller wrists so I appreciate this change a lot. The 3000 nits of brightness is also amazing in direct sun, the watch face is very easily visible even in the brightest of conditions.
The above reasons alone are enough to justify the upgrade.
I did find at the software level having Gemini integrated is also a huge plus. Gemini has gotten so good over the past year, it easily has replaced traditional Google searches and/or Google Assistant in my daily activates. Having access to it on my wrist is a welcome convenience.
Having a faster processor also means health tracking is even more accurate. I found Watch 4 to be substantially more accurate on walks in terms of step count and mileage than previous generations or even other competitors.
Watch 4 supports the same watch band clasp as long as the mm of the case matches. This is great, unlike the charger, where you can continue to use the bands you've invested in.
This is a must have upgrade for anyone with a current Pixel watch or even any Android user in general (though some features are limited to Pixel phones). Everything great about the Pixel watch is present here in gen 4 with some game changing improvements that solidify this as a serious contender in the space. Absolutely amazing job to Team Pixel over at Google and I cannot wait to see what the team comes up with next year!

Google nailed it with the Pixel Watch 4. Accurate tracking sensors, useful functions that integrate perfectly with my phone, and impressive watch independence when my phone isn’t nearby — all done with a beautiful screen and a great fit.
Let’s begin with the screen. It’s bright, has great contrast, and displays characters that are easy to read and navigate. Text messages, emails, pictures, and controls all look fantastic — to the point where I can’t keep my son away; he’s constantly running over trying to touch the screen. Easily one of the best watch screens I’ve had across all the digital watches I’ve owned.
Continuing with the screen, the touch controls are very responsive. Even with my thick fingers, I have no problem pressing the keys on the keyboard when it pops up. Sliding through tabs is extremely smooth, and I haven’t had a hiccup yet. The processor inside keeps the watch running flawlessly, and I haven’t encountered a single bug so far.
I’m using this with a Pixel 10 Pro, and while I can’t speak for other Android phones, the combination is fantastic for my daily activities. Just yesterday, while cooking, I received a couple of notifications — a quick flip of the wrist and I could see them without grabbing my phone. I can use Gemini to send text messages, emails, and more, and it works seamlessly with the AI component. All the connected features are well thought out — it truly feels like an extension of my phone on my wrist. I’m not sure how previous Pixel Watches performed, but as my first, it’s easily the best smartwatch experience I’ve had.
Now here’s where I’m really impressed — fitness tracking. This is where most watches fall short. For all of my fitness activities, my favorite heart rate monitor has always been the Myzone series. What often happens with other watches is that when I’m doing anything that squeezes the wrist, the heart rate reading gets thrown off and struggles to recover. Sometimes you’ll get no reading for several seconds, and by the time it catches up, your heart rate has already dropped — making the data inaccurate. This was very common with the Fitbit series.
With the Pixel Watch 4, it’s been going hand-in-hand with my Myzone. Whether running, lifting weights, or just during daily activity tracking, the new heart rate sensor technology is the best I’ve ever experienced for a wrist wearable. Beat for beat, it was on par with my Myzone, even surpassing my Oura Ring in accuracy and responsiveness. This is very important to me because I like having multiple tracking options to cross-check workout intensity.
Speaking of workouts, the new cardio capacity, cardio intensity, and workout display are great motivators for keeping the intensity high. Google has also taken a page out of Oura’s playbook with its recovery and well-being tools, helping you understand when you’re primed and ready to go. Having all of this available right on your watch screen makes it easy — just a quick flip of the wrist and you know exactly what to tackle and how hard to push.
As a former Fitbit user, I’m very familiar with their interface. Combining Fitbit’s design with Google’s ecosystem has created an incredibly effective platform for anyone serious about their health and wellness. The integration feels seamless and thoughtful. Compared to an Oura Ring, I’d say the price point is a bit high, but the features and metrics are absolutely worth it. I’m currently using the free version, and it’s more than enough to meet my needs. Overall, the fitness integration feels just as refined as the smartwatch features — it doesn’t feel like an afterthought but like a core part of the design.
Now for the bands — both good and bad. Google uses a proprietary clasp system that locks you into their band options. I’m not a fan of that since typical silicone bands often irritate my skin, and I prefer to choose my own. Fortunately, the included Google band hasn’t caused irritation so far, though time will tell. That said, the band fits well, doesn’t interfere with activity, and looks good enough that I don’t need to change it for style reasons. Google has mentioned new band options coming soon, so we’ll see how those go.
Lastly, the only sour point — battery life. This comes with a caveat, though, because smartwatch battery life is always a balancing act. You want maximum functionality in a small device that still lasts as long as possible. I have the 41mm model, which provides up to 30 hours of use. Since I use nearly every feature, I’m averaging closer to 24 hours.
Typically, this would be a point of criticism, but Google has improved the charging speed and convenience. Like other devices, they recommend topping it up while you shower or get ready — and it really does charge fast. I’ve seen it go from nearly empty to full in under 30 minutes. While I’d love multi-day battery life, I understand the trade-off for performance and display quality. Fast charging keeps me moving even with a quick 10-minute top-up.
I’ve only been using the watch for a short time, but every feature I’ve tried has exceeded my expectations. I know I’m still only scratching the surface, and I look forward to discovering even more of what it can do.
As of right now, it comes highly recommended!

This one replaced my previous Google Fitbit Watch 2 from 2017. Like the previous version it is very durable, very sleek, has all the functions of a Smart watch but comes with an improved battery life. If you are looking for a smart watch without a bulky watch face or price tag like majority of its competitors, you will love this watch. I wish they will continue to improve the battery life to 4 days or more.

I recently switched from iOS to Android and have been searching for a watch that is on par with thr Apple Watch and this is it! Notifications come quickly, battery life has been really good, it charges quickly and auto detection of activities is a great feature and has been really accurate so far. I’m loving the round shape after having a square watch so long. If you’re a recent Apple watch user and looking for a great replacement, this is it!

The size is perfect for the wrist, it snugs well. Getting a battery life of approx one and a half day, it depends how many apps are running behind.
The build quality is good, the out of the box watch faces can be customized, third party app can be installed for more watch faces.

Love the size, charging speed, great integration with Pixel phones (as expected) compared to non Pixel watches . Battery life is acceptable and to spec, not an issue since it charges so quickly. Durability of the domed glass is questionable, but not too worried since it's repairable.

I upgraded my pixel watch 1 to this and the difference is night and day. Battery life has improved dramatically and everything feels much snappier. The screen is also a big improvement over the original with a smaller bezel and increased brightness.

The watch works really well. My wifey always wanted one, just price wasn't on the budget. But I made it work this holiday season. The features on the watch and the accessibility and quickness of convenience she is amazed by it. Only issue was the size, my wife has small wrists and hands so the watch is a little big but she says she just needs to get used to having a watch on. I'd say give us a month on durability and we'll see how this goes for an update. Other than that, wife's happy I'm happy.

This watch is amazing. I have owned it for two weeks, and a few days ago, I had bent down to pick up dog toys on the floor. I stood up too fast and became very light-headed. I braced myself on the counter, and after a few moments, I felt myself falling and hit the floor. Immediately, my Pixel 4 watch vibrated and displayed "FALL DETECTED- CALL 911? YES/NO" Luckily, I immediately came to as my wife arrived in the kitchen. I have been so impressed with the operation and display. This is one incredible watch!
