Fitbit
The Pixel Smartwatch is the first product to come out of Google’s acquisition of Fitbit and features many technologies that the fitness-tracking company originally developed. This means the Pixel smartwatch will come with several Fitbit features, including a heart rate monitor and GPS. It also has a variety of sensors that are designed to track your activity levels throughout the day. There is a Pixel smartwatch option that comes with LTE cellular support, but this will cost slightly higher than the basic option.
Updates
Google Pixel Watch will get at least 3 years of Wear OS updates, including feature drops. This means that owners will have peace of mind of their watches’ security status for quite a while.
Other features
The Google Pixel Watch has several other features like water resistance up to 50 meters, scratch-resistant Corning Gorilla Glass, sleep monitoring, and quick pairing with the Pixel Buds. It also has an emergency mode that will alert selected contacts in case you are in an emergency.
Price
The Pixel smartwatch has a starting price of $350, with the option of cellular support costing $400. This makes the smartwatch more expensive than the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 but still less costly than Apple’s latest models. In a nutshell, the Google Pixel Watch is premium, and has Fitbit support and is one of the most interesting Android watches this year. What do you think about this smartwatch?
