Has there ever been such a quickly improved intersection as thePixel Watch ? Google ’s first try was n’t great , but thePixel Watch 2was much better , and theGoogle Pixel Watch 3was , frankly , excellent . So it ’s safe to say there ’s a destiny of expectation depend on on the Pixel Watch 4 . Will it be a showstopper like the Pixel Watch 3 ? Or will Google come full circle and release another duffer , like the first Pixel Watch .
Here ’s where you ’ll line up all the tardy leak and rumors hem in the Pixel Watch 4 . However , since we do n’t have too many of those yet , we ’ve also included a list of everything we ’d like to see from the newest Pixel Watch .
Google Pixel Watch 4: Release and price
We have n’t see any leak appertain to either of these yet , but it ’s dependable to assume the Pixel Watch 4 will make it in the pin of 2025 , and while a toll advance is n’t our of the head , we have n’t seen anything to point Google will be pose terms up .
Google Pixel Watch 4: design and charging
We do n’t have a lot of news leak for the Google Pixel Watch 4 yet , but what we do have suggest thatnot a sight will be changingin Google - domain for the fourth Pixel Watch . harmonize to leaks from OnLeaks and 91Mobiles , the Pixel Watch 4 will rollick the same iconic round look , albeit with somewhat pocket-size bezels around the display . The Pixel Watch 3 had reduced the larger bezel we ’d seen on former models , and it ’s impressive that Google is further shrinking them down .
There are bigger changes around the back , with the biggest modification being what ’s missing . While the four detector are still in place on the back of the gadget , there are no shoot down pins , potentially indicating that Google will be moving to wireless charging for the Pixel Watch 4 . This is n’t a seachange by any means , as we ’ve seen similar bear down methods on theSamsung Galaxy Watch 7 , but it is a nice addition .
Google Pixel Watch 4: What we want to see
The Pixel Watch 3 was a very good smartwatch , but it was n’t perfect by any means . Here ’s a abbreviated list of improvement we ’d like to see in the Pixel Watch 4 .
An even longer battery life
The Pixel Watch 3 ’s battery lif was pretty good by smartwatch standards , lasting around a solar day - and - a - one-half on a single charge . But we ’ve visit a muckle better recently , most clearly from the OnePlus Watch 3 . OnePlus ’s smartwatch was capable of lasting multiple day on one charge , above and beyond jolly much every other smartwatch around .
Could the Pixel Watch match this performance ? It ’s solely potential it wo n’t , but it shows that smartwatchescanandshoulddo best . The Pixel Watch 3 did well in terms of battery life , but we ’re hoping the Pixel Watch 4 will knock it out of the park .
Fewer features locked behind the Fitbit paywall
Google ’s purchase of Fitbit meant that it had a ready - build fitness platform for its smartwatches , and the Pixel Watch has become the most premium fashion to have Fitbit ’s excellent exercise and health trailing . Only , it does n’t feel very premium , entirely because you still have to pay a subscription for Fitbit ’s best feature .
The contraceptive pill is sugared a scrap by the six month of complimentary access to Fitbit Premium you get for buying the lookout man , but when you ’re devote premium smartwatch prices , to not get exchange premium features feels like you ’re being cheatedjusta small bit . The Pixel Watch 4 is a premium smartwatch , and it needs to drop the subscription if it need to continue to be examine as such .
Upgrade the smallest size
The Pixel Watch 3 lastly introduced a 2nd , larger size of it to the roster , and it ’s fantastic . Only , now the 41 mm size needs looking at , because , frankly speak , it ’s just too modest .
Better durability or better repairability
The Pixel Watch 3 had all the usual lastingness you ’d carry for a smartwatch , let in swimmable water - resistance , but it was certainly scratch - prostrate , particularly on the rear . Plus , that model had someterrible reports where repairability was touch , meaning you were mostly ineffective to replace that back instrument panel if it became unsightly with scratches .
Granted , this is n’t a vast batch , but it ’s one we ’d still like to see Google branding iron out . A slightly tougher back jury would act upon wonders for Google ’s Pixel Watch 4 , but so would a dedication to repairability .
