- The Google Pixel Watch 3 Loss of Pulse Detection feature is now available in the United States.
- It was previously launched in many European countries and the UK, but thanks to earning FDA clearance, it is finally here in the US.
- As you’d expect, the feature monitors your pulse and looks for drops, which could indicate cardiac arrest, respiratory or circulatory failure, or other problems.
Last year, Google started rolling out an incredible new feature for the Pixel Watch 3: Loss of Pulse Detection. This first-of-its-kind smartwatch feature monitors your pulse and, if it sees a drop, causes the smartwatch to trigger a response. Many European countries and the United Kingdom have been using this for months now. However, it was only in March 2025 that Google received FDA clearance for the feature.
Finally, today, Google is rolling out Loss of Pulse Detection to the Pixel Watch 3 in the United States. This makes one of the best smartwatches you can buy even better.
