Google really brought its A-game last year with the Pixel Watch 4, improving the smartwatch’s hardware in various ways to make it competitive with Apple Watches. The new Pixel Watch 5, announced together with the Pixel 11 series phones ahead of today’s Made for Google event, sticks to the same round-screen design and instead focuses on its health, fitness, and wellbeing functionalities aided by Google’s Gemini AI.
Aside from new colors (Canyon, Olive, Fog, and Obsidian) and a new “Weave” watch face, the Pixel Watch 5 looks identical to the Pixel Watch 4. It comes in the same 41mm and 45mm sizes and has the same 3,000-nit brightness and up to 40-hour battery life. It’s still a classy-looking smartwatch, in my opinion.
Google’s new smartwatch has mostly under-the-hood updates. There’s a faster Qualcomm Snapdragon W5 Gen 2 chip (12% faster CPU with 20% faster on-device intelligence), 50% more RAM (3GB), and a more accurate GPS for route tracking.
