The Google Pixel Watch will allow users to integrate their favorite Google apps, listen to music, manage their smart homes, get directions, make payments, and more. The watch is the first WearOS device that combines Google’s helpfulness with the best health and fitness insights from Fitbit.

Google Pixel Watch is powered with Google’s Wear OS 3.5. With Google Assistant built-in, your personalized help on the go is quick and hands-free — and you can easily control your smart home devices. Just saying “Hey, Google” to your watch, you will be able to adjust the thermostat, turn on or off the lights, and get notifications from your Nest doorbell.

The watch is equipped with an Emergency SOS feature to alert emergency responders or trusted contacts when you’re in an emergency or feeling unsafe. Google noted that it will be introducing a fall detection feature next year which will be able to sense if you’ve taken a hard fall, connecting you to emergency services, and even auto-dialing if you’re unresponsive.

It helps you keep tabs on your health with an ECG app to detect signs of Atrial Fibrillation (AFib), better understand your sleep with Sleep Score and Sleep Stages, and receive guidance powered by Fitbit’s 20 billion nights tracked.

Get insights into key metrics like your breathing rate, heart rate variability, and more — all on the Health Metrics Dashboard in the Fitbit app. With Fitbit Premium, you get deeper insights and access to features like Daily Readiness Score so you know when to go all-out in your workout or prioritize rest.
