The watch can show four basic metrics during activity, which are small, but the screen is bright enough to see outdoors in direct sunlight. ![]() Typing replies on the watch is hard as the keyboard is tiny but voice dictation works pretty well. It displays full notifications from your phone, including images in alerts and chats, with the ability to respond to them. Google Maps, Gmail, Calendar and Wallet apps are available, too, alongside Home for controlling smart lights and other bits. Press and hold the side button to bring it up or just say “Hey Google”. Google Assistant is baked in for quick voice assistance, which works significantly faster than older-generation Wear OS watches and Fitbits. It will run third-party apps downloaded from the Play Store including Strava and Spotify with offline music downloads. Google will support the watch until at least October 2025. The watch runs the latest version of Wear OS 3.5, with Google’s customisations making it look a little different from Samsung’s version of it. The latest version of Wear OS can run third-party apps such as Spotify and has built-in Google Assistant for voice queries. Google will recycle old devices free of charge. The company publishes environmental impact reports for some of its products including the Pixel Watch. It contains 80% recycled stainless steel. It cannot be replaced and the watch is currently unrepairable. Google does not provide an expected lifespan for the battery but it should last in excess of 500 full charge cycles with at least 80% of its original capacity.
