Google Pixel Watch review: both you and Google can do a lot better

The Google Pixel Watch is not quite what we were hoping for. Our Pixel Watch review explains where it all goes wrong, and what you should buy instead.

Very comfortable to wear Fitbit app is comprehensive

Short battery life Only one size Missing health tracking features

“The Google Pixel Watch is an expensive smartwatch that's only available in one size, comes without many of the features offered by its rivals, and is further let down by poor battery life.”

Google Pixel Watch Review: Fitbit's Best-Looking Watch Yet

The Pixel Watch showcasing Fitbit's fitness tracking is the Android watch to beat, but it's not perfect.

Gorgeous design with curved glass screen ; Plenty of health exercise tracking options through Fitbit ; Easy to use software ; Accurate heart rate tracking for a smartwatch

Relatively short battery life ; Bezels are noticeable on certain watch faces ; Only one size option ; Can't automatically start a workout ; No high/low or irregular heart notifications

Google Pixel Watch review: it’s a smarter Fitbit

I was cautiously optimistic — dare I say, excited? — following my hands-on with the Pixel Watch last week. While I hadn't been impressed with the dozens of leaks and official renders, the $349.99 ($399.99 for LTE) Pixel Watch left a much stronger...

Sleek, compact design ; No caveats for non-Pixel Android users ; Competitively priced ; Good performance

Battery drains quickly ; Wonky GPS results ; Strap mechanism can be finicky ; We cracked one already

Correction, October 12th, 2:40PM ET: A previous version of this article noted that fall detection was coming later this year. Google reached out after publication to say that the feature will instead arrive in 2023.

Google Pixel Watch Review: Surprisingly Convincing - SlashGear

The Pixel Watch is here, and it's making a case for Wear OS with its launch. Does Google's smartwatch swim or sink in a sea of other wearables?

Bright, sharp, colorful display ; Speedy charging ; Touchscreen, button, and crown UI control ; Intuitive software ; Feels like a focused, finalized product

Battery life barely lasts a day ; Requires phone to activate ; The price is a bit steep ; Subscription trials

Google Pixel Watch review: Not the Apple Watch of Android (yet)

Review: The $349 Google Pixel Watch is a luxury Fitbit with a charming figure for all wrists and sizes. But does it bring enough to sway you from Samsung and Apple?

Lovely AMOLED display and basic design ; Simple, refined user experience ; Fitbit ecosystem well supported ; Affordable band options ; Reasonably priced

Limited battery life ; Some apps are not fully functional ; Questionable durability

We have heard rumors of a Pixel Watch for years. Now, Google is ready to stake its claim in the wearables market. The Fitbit integration is a key element in making the watch more compelling, but there is still work cut out for Google to simplify the...

Google Pixel Watch 2 Review: Here's All the Ways It's Better

The original Pixel Watch finally showed up in 2022 after years of rumors and speculation about a potential launch. When we did get one on the wrist and learned all of its specs and features, I think it was pretty obvious that we were getting a...

Google Pixel Watch review: more than just a pretty face

If you're in the market for a great watch for your Android Phone, I highly recommend you give the Pixel Watch a try.

To conclude, let me just say I walked into this review thinking I wouldn't do it. Not sure if you've noticed but my reviews on the Apple Watch Ultra and Galaxy Watch 5 Pro are still not done, and it's mainly because I feel those products in many ways...
