Google Pixel Watch

I’ve had a Pixel Watch of some sort on my wrist nearly every day for the past few years, largely because I’ve come to really value the tracking I get out of what is now Google Health. But, now, there’s another option in the Fitbit Air, a screen-less tracker that, for me, has come to serve as a brilliant little companion to my Pixel Watch.

The ability to take an ECG through Pixel Watch is a handy tool for keeping an eye on your health, and that app is now getting a slight revamp with a new icon and, well, the ability to actually work again.

An apparent bug on Pixel Watch is causing the Find My Phone and ECG apps to either not work or crash, leaving both functions useless for many.

Four generations in, perhaps the most annoying thing about Google’s Pixel Watch lineup is the lack of accessories and, in particular, charging stations. The appeal of a multi-device charging station that tops off your phone, earbuds, and smartwatch is obvious, but one that Pixel Watch owners are sadly left out of. Belkin is now showcasing what is easily the best Pixel Watch-compatible charging station I’ve seen, but Google’s seeming inability to stick with a decision basically ruins it.

Google’s display-less Fitbit Air is finally official, and today’s announcement comes with some great news for exercise-minded users who already own a Pixel Watch: you can use both wearables at the same time.

Following the announcement four weeks ago, the Pixel Watch March 2026 update is now available for the LTE variants.

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.
