Google Pixel Watch

The Pixel Watch has a new-to-it feature that alerts you if you’ve left your phone behind. Even if it’s the option is a little late to the party, you’re going to want to turn it on.

Following a few days where Pixel Watch owners would run into wonky step counts and other stats, Google says the issue behind the scenes is now fixed in the Fitbit app.

The latest Pixel Watch update is causing some hiccups, as users now report that their smartphone is seeing some weird behavior in Fitbit step counts and other stats.

Following the last release in October, Google is rolling out a modem update for the original Pixel Watch released in 2022.

Following the March 2026 update for Google Pixel Watch devices, a number of users are reporting that their SpO2 (blood oxygen) and skin temperature readings have vanished from the Fitbit app.

With the March 2026 Pixel Drop, the Pixel Watch is also getting a sizable update with new features and backports.

Google’s official Pixel Watch bands are pricey, but you can occasionally find good deals floating around from third-party retailers. Right now, Amazon has some strangely significant discounts on a lot of Google’s official Pixel Watch bands.

Bands have been by far the biggest headache of owning a Pixel Watch, at least for me. Google’s first-party collection is surprisingly expansive, but also pricey. In the third-party space, options are often limited or of low quality, but I recently picked up a super cheap Pixel Watch band that feels just as good as Google’s “Active Sport” band, but at a fraction of the price.

Following the announcement this morning, Google is rolling out the December 2025 update to the Pixel Watch 4, 3, and 2.

With Wear OS 6, Google promised “more consistent always-on behavior” (AOD), and the Pixel Watch is starting to do this across three key experiences, including the Timer app.

Code within some Google apps suggests that the Pixel Watch series is not only taking notes from the Apple Watch with new pinch gestures coming, but also reviving a lost but not forgotten Android Wear gesture.

The band situation with Pixel Watch has always been rough, especially if you want a nice leather band. But, finally, the day has come, as Nomad is now shipping a premium leather band for Pixel Watch that’s absolutely worth a look.

With Wear OS 6 not available on the Pixel Watch, Google is rolling out an October 2025 update to the original device.

At the moment, Wear OS 6 on the Pixel Watch 4, 3, and 2 does not support always-on display Media Controls, but that is coming soon.

Ahead of the Pixel Watch 4 officially going on sale tomorrow, Google is rolling out Wear OS 6 to the Pixel Watch 2 and 3.

Google already refreshed the Pixel Watch app on Android phones with some M3 Expressive earlier this month, but the latest update brings more tweaks and a new homescreen icon.

Google wants to use the Pixel Watch to identify signs of high blood pressure, and is readying a Fitbit Hypertension Study.

Google released a “Weather” app for all watches alongside Wear OS 3 in 2022. With the Pixel Watch 4, Google is expanding Pixel Weather beyond Android phones and tablets to Wear OS.

Google Clock 8.1 is now widely rolling out with a Material 3 Expressive redesign. Meanwhile, the last remaining Pixel apps are also getting their revamps.
