With brighter colours, striking clock faces, and more readable user interfaces, Material 3 Expressive gives the watch display life and makes it even more vibrant. Every encounter with Gemini is made even more enjoyable by an updated bespoke speaker and a new custom haptic engine that is 15 per cent stronger. The watch can also track a user’s sleep, monitor their temperature, offer real-time bike stats, provide personalised automatic tracking and offer new exercise options. It also features an AI health coach built with Gemini and provides a fitness and sleeping coach.

The watch features 30 hours of battery life on its 41 mm watch and 40 hours on the 45 mm watch. With battery saver mode on, the Pixel watches can last for two or three days, respectively. The Pixel Watch dock can charge the watch up to 50 per cent in 15 minutes. Google claims that the first smartwatch with independent satellite connectivity for emergencies is the Pixel Watch 4 LTE.
