The Google Pixel Watch is here with a focus on health tracking

At today’s Made by Google event, the tech giant fully revealed its first-ever Pixel Watch.

The Pixel Watch is Google’s first smartwatch designed and built in-house. It runs on WearOS and is compatible with all Pixel and Android phones. It features a curved design, a variety of customizable bands, and full integration with Google apps like Maps and Gmail. It also has Fitbit built into the watch, making it fully optimized for health and fitness tracking.

Specifically that means heart rate measurement, ECG (electrocardiogram) tracking, and sleep monitoring. The Pixel Watch provides regular wellness reports including daily workout readiness scores, health metrics, and sleep scores — all designed to help you optimize your workout routine and sleep schedule. The Pixel Watch will also include fall detection at some point in 2023.

The Pixel Watch starts at $349 for the WiFi-only model and $399 with LTE, and comes with three months of YouTube premium as well as six months of Fitbit Premium. It’s available for pre-order today and will be on retail shelves next week.
