Pixel Watch; I know many of you have asked for updates on the Google Pixel Watch and my thoughts on it. So, let's talk about This watch. Recently, a new leak about the Pixel Watch was published by Business Insider.
I'm really excited about what Google has in store, so here's a quick summary of what we do know so far, followed by a much deeper dive.
The majority of this was first revealed by john prosser at front page tech, who displayed some renders of This watch based on marketing mock-up images and then recently revealed the actual marketing mock-up images.
Pixel Watch Design
Its code name is rohan, and while its official name hasn't been confirmed, marketing material mockups show it using the pixel watch branding.
It has a more traditional round watch face with a bezel-less design. This definitely looks fantastic, but it also poses a risk for greater fragility and potential shattered glass, similar to what we'll see on the Google Pixel 6 Pro's curved edge screen.
Along the side, we see a fairly pronounced crown, which will be nice for some tactility when we interact with it, but it also appears to be quite large and could easily catch on things.
We'll have to wait and see if it actually happens, but it's been really encouraging to hear how much emphasis they're putting on comfort.
For me, many smart watches and wearables are uncomfortably large, which prevents me from wearing them. Some devices, such as the Fitbit Sense, do not bother me as much, but others begin to feel uncomfortable and irritate my skin.
This prototype Google Pixel Watch, or whatever they call it, has been distributed to a number of people at Google for testing. The unfortunate news is that people are only getting about a day of battery life out of it, and it will require daily charging.
So that's a bit of a letdown when some devices, like fitbits, can last a couple days or more. What's especially exciting is that this uses the newest version of wear os, which was unveiled at the last Google I o and was developed in collaboration with Samsung 925.

There are other smartwatch devices out there using wear os 3 and more to come but they don't really have the true experience of what you expect out of a google pixel or google made device with the rumored pixel watch.
Google Pixel Watch VS Apple Watch
Google wants to compete with the Apple Watch, which means they'll go for a lot of feature parodies, such as native integration with a respective smart assistant, such as the fantastic Google Assistant.
I really want that, as well as typical smart watch features such as messaging notifications and calls, but also health and fitness metrics such as heart rate monitoring, step counting, and other types of health readings.
This is the part that interests me the most. According to the verge, rick osterlow, senior vice president of devices and services, said that their goal is to integrate fitbit into wear os 3 at the beginning of 2022 for 2.1 billion dollars.
Internally, this is known as Project Nightlight, and while it has not been confirmed, it is possible that we will see it in the upcoming this watch.
With nine to five google's recent discovery in the wear os 3 emulator for developers, they discovered a video file of ten watch faces that appear to be for the upcoming Google Pixel Watch, including one that matches the renders and marketing images released by john prosser and this one with a fitbit logo on it.
Pixel watch and its integration with the Fitbit watch
I'm very excited, and I'm sure you're wondering what a Fitbit integration means for this watch. So I decided to find out for myself because I had never used a fitbit until the fitbit charge 5 came out a few months ago.
I bought it for myself when it first came out because I wanted to see what fitbit could bring to wear OS 3 as well as its strengths and benefits.

I've been using a fitbit sense that Best Buy sent me for about a week now, and I really like the design. It's really smooth and clean looking, and it doesn't feel uncomfortable on my wrist, which is extremely unusual for me.
On the back, you can see a slew of sensors, which are used to provide all of the measurements and data for all of the health and fitness features that Fitbit offers, which are actually quite fantastic, and which hopefully end up making their way into Wear OS 3 and the Pixel Watch.
I believe that is essential for a good smart watch, but the fitbit sense also gives you the option to use Alexa if you want to, but one of the features I really like is the built-in sleep monitoring, which only reminds me that it is time to go to bed.
It also rates my sleep quality based on how long I was asleep, how restless I was, and how deep I slept. It can even track how much I snore, which I didn't realize I did.
It even measures how many times per minute I breathe and the temperature of my skin, which is bizarre and something I never considered.
Of course, it monitors your heart rate variability for things like the ecg feature and more, and it can track your workouts, which I've been wanting to get back into.
Now that I've quit my full-time job to do youtube and want to get back into working out, I'm just adding a little bit of cushion right here and it needs to be in really good shape.

Here's something that will be extremely useful. The Fitbit ecosystem means that there is already a large community of people who use Fitbit, and you can compete and see how your friends and peers are doing in different categories or in small groups that you form together.
There are also workouts, nutrition tips, and other programs, challenges, and other things that you can check out and join.
That's the cool thing about fibbit and something that's huge to have integrated into a smart watch a community and tons of resources that are already ready to go the moment you buy one that's a huge leap over the competition if you think about it right now.
Now, what fascinates me is that I can measure your stress by combining your heart rate readings while awake and sleeping, as well as how active you are, your workouts, nutrition, sleeping patterns, and other factors.
I actually think it's pretty insane to have all of that, all of the data, and something so simple that's constantly measuring your body, and having a battery life that can last six days or more in a smart watch is insane.
It's insanely convenient and honestly something you won't find in most smart watches right now if you want to check out the fitbit ecosystem and buy the fitbit sense best buy has a deal going on.
So, after using Fitbit, you're really excited to see this robust and mature ecosystem platform community ready to go in a Google Pixel watch.
So rumors suggest that it will be released in the spring, but that depends on how well employee feedback goes with a battery life that does not appear to be the best.
With the importance and strategic benefit of Fitbit that must be integrated and ready to go from the start, it is possible that this will be delayed even further.
Of course, since we don't know when the Pixel Watch will be available, Fitbit has the technology in place to provide you with a smartwatch for your health and fitness.
Now, both the fitbit sense and charge 5 are on sale right now at Best Buy, so get them before the sale ends on December 24th, but in any case, I believe our os3 will easily elevate Google to second place for smart watches, thanks to the fitbit integration, and that just makes me happy.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on the Google Pixel Watch and what you hope to see from the Fitbit integrations in Wear OS 3. I believe it will add a lot because Google won't have to work as hard to build it because it's already there, but let me know what you think in the comments.
Google Pixel 6 smartwatch features
Google's upcoming Pixel Watch appears to be a flagship designed to compete with Samsung's latest Galaxy watches and the Apple Watch. According to new leaks, you'll be able to get a cellular version of the wearable with a 300 milliamp hour battery.
It wasn't always assumed that the pixel watch would have a cellular option; some lower-end smart watches and even some high-end fitness-focused models rely on your phone for connectivity.
If the rumor is true and there is a cellular pixel watch model, it reinforces the notion that Google is unlikely to make its watch smaller or less expensive.
As for the battery, its physical capacity appears to be about right for how big the watch is, but it's nearly impossible to tell what that milliamp hour rating means for how long it'll last between charges.
The apple watch series 7 41 millimeters and the galaxy watch classic 42 millimeters were found to have dramatically different levels of endurance. The galaxy watch ran out of juice one day, while the apple watch was at 52 percent; however, after some tweaks, he was able to get a couple of hours more out of the galaxy the next day.
However, the battery in the Apple Watch isn't that much larger; it has a capacity of 284 milliamp hours, whereas the battery in the Galaxy is rated for 247 milliamp hours.
The battery life of a wearable for its features and processor are both unknown at this time for the Pixel Watch, though features wise.
It obviously won't have the e-paper display that allowed the Pebble Time to get well over a week of use out of its 250 milliamp hours battery. The big unanswered question is which chip Google will use, Qualcomm or Qualcomm Snapdragon.
A currently unannounced next-gen qualcomm chip samsung's exynos chips that it uses in its own watches well a custom tensor processor like google uses in the pixel 6.

There are so many options, some of which are unknowns, and others that would be a bad sign for its battery life. Hopefully, we won't have to wait too long to find out.
According to rumors, Google could announce the Pixel Watch at its io conference, which begins in just a few weeks on May 11th.
This concludes google's information on pixel watch Release date, and Feature, so please leave your thoughts in the comments section.
