Google Pixel Watch announced with 1.2" display and ECG, has Wi-Fi and LTE versions
Nearly a year after the first rumors about it came out, the Google Pixel Watch is finally here. It runs Wear OS 3.5, though that version is rarely seen without Samsung’s One UI Watch skin on top.
The Google Pixel Watch
The Pixel Watch is available in two flavors – Wi-Fi and LTE – but only one size 41mm. At least you get a small and a large band in the box (we’ll get to the bands as there are several options that can customize your look).
The watch is equipped with a smallish 1.2” display, which peaks at 1,000nits of brightness for outdoor visibility and has an Always-On mode. The Gorilla Glass 5 covering the watch is dome-shaped, the only physical control is the button on the side. The chassis is made out of stainless steel, so it should be quite durable.
The Pixel Watch has a heart rate sensor on the bottom as well as an ECG sensor for more detailed heart readings. Google tapped into the expertise of the Fitbit team to develop more accurate algorithms for overall health tracking - the watch can even tell you when it would be best to take a rest and recover.
You can also take this watch swimming at it is rated at 5ATM water resistance (what you often see listed as “50m”).
Instead of a custom chip like on the phones, Google picked a standard Exynos 9110, which has been used on Galaxy Watches as far back as 2018. It has been paired with a decent 2GB of RAM (the new Watch5 Pro has 1.5GB) and Google believes the battery is enough to last 24 hours.
Let’s round things off with the connectivity features. As we already mentioned, there is an LTE version if you want to use the watch without a phone. Otherwise you get the usual Wi-Fi (2.4GHz) and Bluetooth (5.0) connectivity, plus NFC for Google Pay (or other mobile payment services).

In Europe the Pixel Watch (Wi-Fi) will cost you $350/€380, while the LTE option can be yours for $400/€430. You can even have it for free, if you pre-order a Pixel 7 Pro. By the way, the Pixel Watch comes with 6 free months of Fitbit Premium (, plus 3 months of YouTube Premium.
Anyway, you get a silicon “Active” band in the box, but you can also pick up other colors and other styles of bands to customize the look of your watch. There are Woven bands as well as metal and leather bands.

Marketing images of the Google Pixel Watch leak
Wear OS shot up in popularity after Samsung dropped its in-house platform in favor of Google’s software. But Google will still make a Pixel Watch, right? Apparently it tried, it was supposed to launch at the Pixel 6 event, but the chip shortage pushed back the release to early 2022. After years of waiting, a few more months doesn’t seem like much.
Leaked marketing images of the Google Pixel Watch
The design and branding have reportedly been decided – it will be called the Google Pixel Watch and it will have a bezel-less display with a crown as the only hardware button. Above are marketing images shared by Front Page Tech’s Jon Prosser.
The UI has the Material You look and it seems that health tracking will be in the spotlight. This may include the integration of Fitbit services (Google bought Fitbit earlier this year), although one of the health complications seems to use the standard Google Fit design.
