Google introduced its new generation of smartwatches, and the Pixel Watch 4 is without a doubt its most ambitious yet. This is not just an aesthetic refinement, but a package that combines premium design, more advanced health features, and full integration with Gemini.

The most noticeable change is the display: Google calls it “Actua 360,” and it is essentially a domed panel with more usable surface area and thinner bezels. It reaches up to 3,000 nits of brightness, making it one of the most readable watches in direct sunlight. The body is made from recycled aluminum, protected by Gorilla Glass 5, and ready to be submerged up to 50 meters.
The new Snapdragon W5 Gen 2 processor makes everything feel more responsive while also consuming less power. It also includes:
La opción compacta del Pixel Watch 4, con pantalla Actua 360, GPS de doble frecuencia y toda la potencia de Gemini. Suma comunicación satelital y reparabilidad real, algo raro en un smartwatch premium.
El Pixel Watch 4 grande, con batería de hasta 72 horas en ahorro y más superficie de pantalla. Mismo combo de Gemini, salud avanzada y reparabilidad, pensado para quien prioriza autonomía.

Advanced features such as loss-of-pulse detection, ECG, stress monitoring, and blood oxygen tracking.
Key new features:
Google gave Gemini, its AI assistant, a starring role. You can now raise your wrist and speak to it directly to get answers, health advice, or quick directions. The experience feels much more natural and useful in everyday use. It also includes emergency satellite communication without needing a phone.
Both the display and the battery can be replaced without losing water resistance, something that sets it apart from other premium smartwatches.
The Pixel Watch 4 was announced on August 20 and will officially arrive on October 9.
Starting prices:
If you have a first- or second-generation Pixel Watch, the improvement is clear: a brighter display, longer battery life, more complete health features, and, above all, satellite communication. If you are coming from the Watch 3, however, the decision depends more on how much Gemini AI and repairability appeal to you.
In any case, the Pixel Watch 4 reinforces Google’s bet: a watch that does not just aim to compete with the Apple Watch, but to become the heart of its ecosystem.
