Google Pixel Watch 4

Google’s Pixel Watch 4 is finally official, and while wearable fans might feel stressed about its October launch date, those hardware improvements seem well worth it. But with a new charging dock comes the need for additional chargers, and depending on what you want to buy for your next smartwatch, you should probably start saving up.

With the Pixel 10 series and Pixel Watch 4, Google is announcing the latest Gemini app features.

At Made by Google 2025, Google announced the Pixel Watch 4. While it looks the same, there are significant hardware changes that actually make this a sizable update. I’d go as far as saying that this is the biggest hardware upgrade of all the products unveiled today, but you’ll only notice the changes in person.

This year, Google announced everything about the Pixel 10, Pixel Watch 4, and Pixel Buds 2a before the actual Made by Google 2025 presentation gets underway in one hour with a number of special guests.

The Pixel Watch 4 is set to introduce a brand new charger – the third one in four generations of Google’s smartwatch – and while it really seems like the pros outweigh the cons here, I’m dreading a couple of small things.

The latest Pixel Watch 4 leak comes from marketing materials that tout Google’s upcoming wearable as having “significant technological advancements over its predecessors,” while we get a better look at the charging system.

Welcome to episode 65 of Pixelated, a podcast by 9to5Google. This week, Damien, Abner, and Will take a break from talking about the endless onslaught of Pixel 10 renders to take in a more zoomed-out look at Google’s current ecosystem. As the company starts advertising the Pixel 10 series, new reports suggest we might be waiting a few months for the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, Pixel Watch 4, and the Pixel Buds 2a. Meanwhile, the company’s decision to stop selling refurbished Pixel 6a models has us thinking about hardware longevity compared to software longevity, and how the two sometimes collide in unexpected ways.

The latest Pixel Watch 4 leak reveals how Google will be advertising the 2025 Wear OS 6 device and Gemini plays a big role.

The latest round of Pixel 10 series and Pixel Watch 4 leaks come in the form of promo videos about the design. Again, it’s mostly the same, but there are some visible tweaks.

The Pixel Watch 4 may have leaked multiple times already, but some high-quality renders show us all the details of the upcoming wearable in every color variant and from even more unseen angles.

According to a new report, a portion of the new devices Google will be launching later this month won’t actually arrive in the hands of customers until October, including Pixel Watch 4 and Pixel 10 Pro Fold.

Welcome to episode 64 of Pixelated, a podcast by 9to5Google. This week, Abner and Will make up for Damien’s absence by discussing the latest crop of Pixel leaks, including US pricing for the phones and watch that seemingly avoids tariff-mania. It’s not just prices, though — a new “Pixelsnap” leak all but confirms the native Qi2 support we’ve been begging for for years, while a new Pixel Buds 2a leak points towards a pretty familiar set of earbuds.

Following the Pixel 10 series, the US price of the Pixel Watch 4 has leaked and points to cheaper LTE models.

The Pixel Watch 4 seems like your run-of-the-mill smartwatch update, but it’s also introducing the third new charging system in Google’s mere four generations of smartwatch. The new Pixel Watch 4 charger looks just fine, but I’m pretty worried about the charging pins that we’ve yet to see.

Welcome to episode 63 of Pixelated, a podcast by 9to5Google. This week, the Pixel leaks start comin’ and they don’t stop comin’, as we break down the massive amount of Pixel 10 and Pixel Watch 4 leaks that continue to fall into our lap. Come for the conversation on which colors are doing it for us — and which aren’t — and stay for the breakdown on why the Pixel 10 series just might arrive with Qi2 built-in. Plus, what’s the deal with foldables, and is the Pixel Watch 4’s new charger ridiculous, or ridiculously awesome?

Made By Google may be less than four weeks away, but we’re already getting another look at Google’s upcoming Pixel lineup.

Following new details about its charger leaking earlier today, official-looking renders of the Pixel Watch 4 have now landed, showing off the new colors and slim display bezels on Google’s new smartwatches.

The biggest hardware (and visual) change for the Pixel Watch 4 sees Google move the charging contacts from the back to the left side with a new, non-wireless charger.

Like the Pixel 10 series last week, European pricing for the Pixel Watch 4 has now leaked and looks to be staying the same. 

According to recent reports, Google’s upcoming Pixel Watch 4 is apparently set to include improvements to blood oxygen tracking, offer some form of satellite communications in emergencies, and support Android 16’s notification cooldown feature.

After launching three generations of smartwatches that can’t be repaired, Google is reportedly making changes to the Pixel Watch 4 that allow for repairs, but details are incredibly vague at this point.
