This is by far my favorite smart watch, in the 11 years that I've been wearing them. I don't even know where to begin with my praise for the Google Pixel Watch 4. It's such an improvement over my last watch (that I was perfectly content with) that I can't imagine going back to the old one.
First off, the battery life on this watch is incredible. I like to turn on all the features of my watch, so I activated the always on display, the tilt to wake, and the raise to talk, which activates Gemini (Google's AI Assistant) without having to use the activation phrase. After charging to full, I had it on from Friday night to Sunday morning when I put it back on the charger at around 20%. I didn't have to charge it again until Tuesday morning, where it was again at about 25%. It didn't even take long to charge up that morning. I set it on the charger while I took a shower and when I finished getting dressed it was at 100%. Speaking of the charger, the watch sets sideways into a groove instead of laying with its back flat against it in a shallow divot, and between the strong magnet and because of the way it stands on it, putting it on the charger and being sure that it was properly charging is way easier than the older style. In fact, if you do put it on the charger wrong, you'll get a phone notification warning you of the fact.
I really enjoy the various watch faces. I've settled on the stock Field face as it has the analog time with 4 customizable complications. Currently I'm displaying my step count, heart rate, weather, and a quick launch for the Fitbit app. I like that the complications still appear even when the AOD display is dimmed. The only thing I really lose is the second hand when the AOD display is dimmed. The Field face is another one that I enjoy. There's also a ton of 3rd party faces available, with some super creative ones that I might take for a spin.
The health features on this watch are pretty incredible and tightly integrated with the Fitbit app. I've found the step tracking to be pretty accurate, and the watch knows when I'm out for my mid-morning walk, giving me detailed heart rate stats when I've finished. The sleep tracking has been very accurate, and yet another reminder that I need to sleep more. I like how I get a morning notification that informs me of my sleep score as well as a readiness score, which shows how ready my body is for the day based on my sleep activity and what it knows about my usual activity level.
The watch came with both a large and a small silicone band, and the small band works fine for me. Getting the band on initially was a big finicky because of the unique slide mechanism instead of your bog standard set of lugs with the quick release bands. The band has plenty of holes placed close enough together to get a precise fit. I like to wear mine about an inch above my wrist bone so as not to accidentally press the crown with my hand. The silicone band keeps the watch in place without feeling any tightness at all. This may be the first smartwatch where I actually keep the stock band on.
Gemini, Google's latest AI assistant, can be activated either through a spoken phrase, pressing a dedicated button, or by enabling raise to talk, where it knows to start listening if it detects you bringing your watch to your mouth. While it does use up more battery life, there's plenty to spare. There is some lag while Gemini parses your request, but so far it understands how to turn on and off my lights and has been able to answer simple queries without me having to find wherever I put my phone.
For me, this is finally the experience we were promised when the first Android Wear commercials came out and we were all hyped about the future. No compromises on usage or battery life, with all the things finally working the way they should.

I’ve been using the Pixel Watch 4 for a couple of weeks now, and I’m really happy with it. The design feels premium and comfortable on the wrist — definitely one of the nicest-feeling smartwatches I’ve owned. Performance is smooth, everything runs fast, and the battery life is surprisingly good, easily lasting me through a full day and more. Overall, it’s a great experience — clean, elegant, and just works well with my Pixel phone.

I really like the Pixel watch for I've had the two the three now before and this one is a big improvement in every way except for battery life. Still lucky to get almost 2 days with average use on one charge the battery life stairs out there.
The display seems more brighter and vivid to me over the last generation pixel 3, My biggest gripe with a pixel watches is the round glass face I know that's their distinct feature but to me it just screams it will break very easily without any kind of screen protector installed on it. Not a fan of the Apple style wristbands that the pixel watches use.
However this does pair easily with my Samsung Galaxy s25 ultra as well as the Fitbit health for sleep step tracking and all activities included. I don't like that Google still offers the weird charging pads and again this year they've changed the way it charges on its side versus flat. I really wish they would go to a true wireless style dock charging system for their watches.
As much as I really try to love the Google pixel watch overall, Google just does so many backwards things with it to make it not my favorite. I still lean hard towards the Samsung smart watch line up.
The biggest improvement to me would be to change it to a more watch style look rather than copy Apple's rounded edges and give the watch a increased battery life over the dreaded day and a half before needing to be recharged.

I love how seamless it connects and tracks everything. The display is clear and bright, and i like the curved face. Batrery seems to charge quickly. Like the sideways charger.

Finally got a watch that could replace my Fitbit Sense 1. Battery life is decent and the quick charge is a game changer. The display and big and bright and not so heavy on my wrist. It's a great buy!

First let me start by saying that I am not a fitness expert, nor do I profess to becoming one. I am however at an age near retirement, and I have started to embrace a healthier lifestyle over the last 5 months. I have had several different smart watches but what appealed to me about the Pixel 4 watch was not only for all the current features that I can immediately take advantage of, like Steps, specific workout selections, energy burned, heart rate, floors climbed, etc. As I continue this path (I have lost over 30lb), I have increased my walking, started light running but also explore other activities.
Now for the design, this (I have the 45mm) face is amazing. It is by far the brightest and clearest to read. The Actua 360 domed display provides an edge-less design, it’s unique and when people see it, they ask which watch this is! It’s also made with Gorilla Glass and is dust, water and scratch resistant, perfect for the active lifestyle.
This watches Health tools are incredible. The Dashboard shows things like sp02, breathing rate, heart rate, skin temperature and variability of heart rate. The sleep tracking shows details which measure the quality of your sleep. It tracks time spent in the various sleep phases such as light, deep, REM and then provides you with sleep scores you can use to gauge the quality of your sleep. You can also store your medical condition, medications and blood type on the watch so that if you make emergency calls, your info can be provided to first responders.
Ok, so here is one of the coolest things. I use Googles AI Tool Gemini all the time for work and non-work on my personal and work laptops. Now, the Pixel 4 has Gemini built in! Just long press the button above the crown button and Gemini pops up! You can press the microphone and give it any normal question or prompt. It’s awesome if you quickly need an answer and don’t want to open or pull out your phone. Google has used a higher power co-processor for an improved AI experience. You can also leverage it’s ability to work across apps like calendar and mail.
For the safety conscious, there are some amazing features as well. It’s the first smartwatch to be able to use SOS satellite communications. It enables you to connect to Emergency services even when Cell and Wifi are not available. Loss of pulse detection which can connect to emergency services, which can provide quicker response to medical services even when you cannot. It has fall and car crash detection but also has a feature called Safety check which can be set up for example if you go out for a walk or run. You set the timer and if the timer runs out without your intervention, it will notify your emergency contacts. Really Cool !
In addition to seamlessly integrating with all other Google apps like Wallet and maps, the battery life on this thing beats anything I have had before. The specs say 40 hours on the 45mm and 72 with battery saver. I have been getting every bit of 40+ without having to go on battery saver mode.
Overall, I am very happy with this decision to get Google Pixel 4! It seems like every day I discover new things to do on it. I would highly recommend this to anyone who uses Google Pixel phones. I have the new Pixel 10 Fold and this is the perfect companion.
Nice smart watch, particularly if you have a pixel

The Pixel watch is comfortable and connected very easily to my Pixel 9. I'm generally happy with it and it does what it's supposed to do. It is not terribly intuitive, though no smart watches seem to be, but isn't very difficult to use. The charger comes with the watch and is very fast to charge while the watch holds a charge for more than a full day. Has the heart rate monitoring functions that I wanted, and really only bought it for.

I am coming form the pixel watch 3. I have also had garmins and apple watches in the past, so I'm comparing to both. The upogrades are rather minor overall. However, they are significant improvements that puts this watch on par and/or exceedes that of other wear OS watches.
The battery life is about 10-15 hrs longer than the pw3 which makes this last about as long as an apple watch.
The screen bezels are slightly smaller giving more real estate as well as a bit more brightness. This makes readability better.
The fibit health and exercise features are excellent. Some of the more obscure exercises are missing that the garmin watches have, but what is present is fine for the average user. I have been using gemini for exercise and diet plans. This is basic, but works as well as any human diet app I have used before.
One small note about the moonstone color is that there is only one band with matching lugs and thats the 45mm active band.

If you're looking for an Android watch I highly recommend this one especially if you already have a Pixel phone. The UI is very smooth and intuitive, and the health tracking features are exactly what I was looking. My only complaint is the pulse detection is always on when wearing it, which I assume uses a non negligible amount of battery, but so far the battery lasts me about 2 days before needing a charge.

I had the Pixel Watch 3 and this one seems better in the short time I've owned it. Much improved battery life. The watch charges way faster and the display shows more even though I have the same sized watch as my previous watch.
I've heard the watch can be fixed, if it is damaged (hopefully I don't have to experience that), but that is a huge bonus in my mind. I won't need to buy a whole new watch and instead just need to replace the display.

Got the Pixel Watch 4 a few weeks ago now. So far I'm impressed with the watch, coming from a Fitbit. It connects flawlessly to my Pixel phone. The battery life is great, I am usually at 70% when I go to bed at night. Wish there were more options for a screen protector for the watch, I hope it doesn't scratch easily, but time will tell.

The Pixel Watch 4 is an essential upgrade. Its battery life is good, lasting over 30 hours, but the new 45mm model makes it even better, pushing past two days of use. The brilliant Actua 360 display and the snappy Wear OS 6, powered by the Snapdragon W5 Gen 2, deliver a genuinely excellent experience than previous generations. This combination of endurance and performance makes the Watch 4 a true flagship.

While it looks like a small update over the previous models, the slight added curve on the display and the slightly smaller bezels make Google's watch continue to be the most interesting smartwatch style in the game. Battery life has also shown a small improvement as well, as I don't have to charge it every night. The new Moonstone colorway is also very nice.

A step up from Pixel Watch 3 with slightly better battery life, a better screen, and faster response times overall, but still missing some key features, such as active blood oxygen sensing and more options for watch faces. The google assistant is still a bit spotty responding and the google Gemini is so slow responding it is almost unusable. However, the google assistant experience is still better than experiences I've had with Bixby on the Samsung watches. Overall, I recommend.

Pretty good device, notifications are lacking

Overall a good device from Google. Good battery and screen, good fitness functions. Notifications are disappointing; they only show within a few seconds of arriving if you lift the watch. If you don’t, you have to swipe to see them. Further, if you do lift the watch while doing something else, they dont show in the notification count even if you don’t dismiss then. This means an accidental arm raise can cause you to miss one.

The Pixel Watch 4 is a solid upgrade—sleek design, super bright display, and Gemini AI makes interactions smoother than ever. Health tracking is accurate, and the new repairability is a huge plus. Battery life is decent, lasting over two days. Wish the charger was backward compatible and some Fitbit features weren’t locked behind a paywall. Still, a great smartwatch for Pixel users!

Looks and feels great. It's a great match with my Pixel 10 Pro Fold. The two work seamlessly together. The battery life is the biggest seller here. I go 3 days on each charge and I use it for daily workouts and sleep monitoring.

Much snappier than the Pixel Watch 3 as well as increased battery life and charging speed. Raise to talk to Gemini is a game changer in terms of convenience not to mention they finally have Google Home integration figured out.

bit of a learning curve at night when I do not want to be awakened by light. However, I do like the sporty look and instant notification of emails and texts. Very lightweight
