Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is the best pixel watch I've used. I'm also happier they added a bigger size option as well. The last pixel watch I've used is the Pixel watch 2. I find this larger screen lets me see it easier . Also the battery life is better from my experience so far with it. Also integrated with Fitbit as well which is great. You can also use googles health app as well if you want to. This is the wifi model but there is an option for cellular as well If you wanted that. I mostly use smart watches for notifications and etc but I do use it to track how much I walk and works well with that. Ive also used it to track my sleep as well. The best newest feature for me coming from the pixel watch 2 is the brighter screen with its peak brightness of 3000 nits. It makes it a lot easier to see outside. It's integration with Gemini also is great as well. I mostly ask it for the weather and the time and works great for that . Sometimes I'll ask it questions that might pertain to directions and I don't want to take out my phone . The battery life is rated as 40 hours with this model and I get close enough for that which is a major difference from the pixel watch 2 for me as well .

I haven’t received it yet. I’m excited to get my watch. I’ve heard great reviews on it. I like Best Buy.

TLDR: The Pixel Watch is tightly integrated with Google's Pixel phones, but suffers from a serious lack of battery life that the competition excels at. PROS Seamlessly integrated with Google Phones Google Gemini on your wrist Fitbit coaching and analytics at your fingertips Clear speaker and audio CONS Poor battery life Weak haptics SET-UP Every time I get a new Android based product, I'm pleasantly surprised at how iOS-esque the set-up process has become. I remember the early days of Android when getting a new device was a chore. Manually adding each and every app and setting, pairing, logging in, etc. The new process is so much smoother and less dramatic. It is a refreshing change from days past. I paired the Pixel watch with a new Google Pixel 10 Pro. The whole process was seamless and drama-free. With both products being from big G, the watch pulled over all my information from my GMAIL and other Google accounts. The only piece of information I needed to enter was my height and weight for the Fitbit app. Slick! USE This is my 5th smart watch from the 3rd different manufacturer. I started with 2 watches named after celestial bodies in the solar system because they match my phones, then to a smart watch I never thought about trying from the U.S.'s largest GPS manufacturer, now the Pixel watch. The difference in setting up my Pixel watch versus the other 4 is a night-and-day difference. Long gone are the days of manually entering data and apps and more data and more apps. I have a love/hate relationship with the Google Pixel watch. I really like how tightly integrated it is with my Pixel phone. It is the closest I've ever had to a watch being a true extension of the phone. This is primarily due to the Gemini app being so well thought out on the watch. It's not like a rudimentary assistant. If you can ask it, or type it, of Google, you can do the same with the watch and Gemini. Need directions? No sweat. Ask Gemini to route you. Not only will it show up on your watch, it opens the Google Maps app on your phone. Need an answer to a question? No sweat. Ask Gemini on your wrist. Need to add something to your calendar? Just tell the watch. No phone interaction needed. Need an alarm? Not to worry. Ask Gemini & she will set one on the watch and phone simultaneously. Like a said, it is neat and tidy integration with both devices being intertwined. Fitbit integration is another huge selling point for the watch. Fitbit functions nearly identically on the watch as it does the phone. Fitbit support and implementation is even better than my GPS manufacturer's product line and apps. It is a true seamless experience from the wrist to the phone. However, don't expect instant results. Fitbit needs a good 5 days of analysis before it really kicks in and offers meaningful feedback like sleep performance, cardio load, etc. If you are already invested in Google's ecosystem, you will love the Pixel Watch. It's like the final piece of the puzzle that will tie all your Google devices together. Phone, watch, Fitbit, Nest, Gemini, you name it and the Pixel Watch is the one thing Google needed to make their ecosystem feel complete. The last point I want to talk about is audio quality. It is tremendously better than my previous watch. Whether it be phone calls, talking to or listening to a Gemini response, you name it. Audio is crisp and clear. It was one of the very few complaints I had about my last smartwatch. Callers could not understand what I was saying when talking into the watch. Not with the Pixel. Callers have said I am very clear and understandable and same could be said about their voices. Everything is clear and intelligible. NEGATIVES I have only 2 major issues with the Pixel watch. First and foremost is the battery life. I've read reviews from around the interwebs with people praising the 45mm Pixel's battery life. I'm averaging about 2 - 2.5 days of battery life with Battery Saver turned on. Unfortunately, battery saver often delays or misses text notifications and alerts. So, while it does extend overall battery life, it does so at a cost of convenience. If I had come directly from my celestial named products, or even a fruit-based watch, I would have thought that doubling my battery life was game changing. My previous watch was made by the leading GPS manufacturer. I could easily get 5 days with moderate use, up to 7 days with minimal use. No battery saver, no skimping, no extreme measures to conserve power. The watch lasted a long time. I loved it. I travel a lot for work, and it was so nice knowing I could leave home on a Monday, come back on a Friday, and not have to take a charger, as I would still have battery left. Battery anxiety was a thing of the past. Not with the Pixel watch. Battery anxiety is back. No weeklong battery life. My second gripe is the weak haptics. Even at the highest setting, the haptics are considerably weaker than all my other watches. I often miss notifications because I don't feel the watch vibrate. I hear the notifications more than I feel them from haptics. CONCLUSION If you are heavily vested in the Google ecosystem, the Pixel Watch would be a no-brainer. As long as you can live with the battery life, it is a great addition to the Pixel ecosystem. Gemini and Fitbit are great additions. I find myself using the Gemini app more than I actually type to Google anymore. So convenient. But I'm still struggling with accepting battery life. Going from 5 - 7 days down to approximately 2 is a huge pill to swallow. Did my previous watch have Gemini? No. Did it become an extension of my phone? No. It was more of a true smartwatch. Excelling in fitness, texts, and notifications. I guess this is what the choice really boils down to. If you just want something that does the basics and does them well, the Pixel Watch isn't for you. If you want a device that becomes an extension of your phone and integrates itself into your daily life, the Pixel Watch is more for you. A must-have for a Pixel phone owner. RECOMMENDED

The journey for finding a watch that is compatible with Android that is solid, attractive, and useful may be over with the Pixel Watch 4. This is the first Google watch I have experienced. I had been watching (pun intended) the Pixel Watch evolution with interest, I liked the shape and concept of WatchOS they were showing, but they were too small for me and weren’t showing the best numbers for battery and health stat accuracy at first. This generation seems to have solved the issues that mattered to me. First, I have the 45mm size and I really like it. It’s not huge but big enough that the screen is easy to read and interact with, but it’s also small and svelte enough to wear for sleep tracking which is not something I would say for many past watches I’ve used. The screen has the roll off effect on the edge that makes the watch faces look so slick and yet the edge doesn’t detract from the function of the apps and watch itself. The animation of scrolling through things like notifications also look really sweet on this roll off screen. It gets plenty bright in sunlight and the brightness autocorrects for your surroundings smoothly which is appreciated. I have been able to wear it for two days without charging if I’m just using it as a smartwatch. From a fitness standpoint I am pleased, although Google puts some fitness tracking and statistics behind the Fitbit paywall and I’m not happy about that, but it’s not the watch’s flaw. There is still plenty of included tracking and statistical reporting that you can easily use it for working out, hiking, etc. I’ve never used smartwatches for swimming but there is waterproofing enough for it. On a hike I get about 15 hours of battery for the day using gps and maps. Pretty respectable. I have also compared the heart rate instrument to a chest strap monitor and the heart rate tracking is pretty accurate. No worries there. I don’t use the functions of body readiness and sleep scores generally, but there is that sort of functionality too. The band mechanism for attaching is pretty slick too, albeit proprietary so if you want other bands, third party options, you’ll have to make sure they are made for the Pixel. I really like the Pixel Watch 4. I paired with a Pixel phone as well as with a Samsung device and both worked seamlessly. There is some additional functionality with the Pixel phone, but I actually really enjoyed using it with the Samsung device. This really won’t work with an iPhone, so it’s best to keep that in mind. I say don’t hesitate to consider this watch when looking for an Android centric device.

I am very pleased to be wearing a Pixel Watch 4. The domed design is beautiful, and fit and finish are exquisite. When paired to my Android phone I have ready access to Gemini as my AI assistant. Things I do with my watch include: - Tell time, day, and date of course! - Get a full weather forecast with a simple swipe of the watch face - Initiate a voice query with Gemini by raising my hand and talking (my favorite feature!) - Plan a bus route through my city - Set an alarm - Play music to my ear buds - Snap a selfie with my wife while my phone is 10 ft away (with my Pixel phone) - Receive and answer text messages (using voice or the extremely well designed keyboard that supports swipe input) - Answer telephone calls! - Pay for my groceries - See my steps, heart rate, calories burned, and check my sleep score (full workout and sleep data are available in the Fitbit app) - Check workout and training data - Check my calendar - Find my exact location within Google Maps, right on the watch face - The watch has a feature called “safety check”, but I haven’t tried this yet The watch is easy to read in all conditions, including full sunlight. I have the 45mm model, and it might appear large, but it is extremely comfortable. (I often forget that it is even there!) I like the larger size so that I can see details on the watch face more easily. Options for personalization are plentiful. The battery seems to be reasonable, in that I only have to charge the watch every other day. Charging is performed wirelessly with an elegant little charger that plugs into any USB-C power source. Charging is very fast! I would definitely recommend the Pixel Watch 4 to anyone who has an Android phone and wishes to have an elegant wearable assistant with all the features one would expect from a premium device.
