Along with the new Pixel 10-series smartphones, Google today introduced its latest smartwatch, the Pixel Watch 4. The Pixel Watch 4 comes with a first-of-its-kind domed display, support for satellite communication, native Gemini integration, and more.
The Pixel Watch 4 still features the same circular shape. It will be available in 41mm and 45mm sizes. Google claims that the Pixel Watch 4 features a first-of-its-kind Actua 360 display. This domed display is physically curved to deliver a 10% larger active area and 16% smaller bezels.
Thanks to the 3000-nit display, users can expect a great viewing experience even outdoors. This display is protected by a custom Corning Gorilla Glass and an aerospace-grade aluminum housing. Google has also made the Pixel Watch 4 more repairable with a replaceable battery and display.
Android"s latest Material 3 Expressive with richer colors, new clock faces, and more glanceable UIs is now available on the Pixel Watch 4. Google has also included a new custom haptic engine that is 15% stronger and an upgraded custom speaker to improve the audio experience.
With the new Snapdragon W5 Gen 2 Wearable Platform and Google"s own next-gen ML-powered co-processor, users can expect better performance and improved battery life. In fact, the Pixel Watch 4 has a 25% longer battery life when compared to the previous generation. With the new Quick Charge Dock, the Pixel Watch 4 can charge from 0-50% in just 15 minutes.
The Pixel Watch 4 LTE supports standalone emergency satellite communications, a first for a smartwatch. This will allow users to connect to emergency services even when a mobile network is unavailable.
Google also highlighted that the Pixel Watch 4 comes with more accurate health and fitness tracking:
