I’ve been a Google Pixel Watch user and fan since the original launched in 2022. I wore it every day — except when I was charging it — and then upgraded to the Pixel Watch 2 and later to the 45mm Pixel Watch 3. In the last three years, you could hardly see me without Google’s smartwatch strapped to my wrist, and for good reason. I love the Fitbit integration and the fact that I can keep my existing fitness data rolling without wearing a standalone tracker. The smart apps and functions are a nice extra on top of this.
But my time with the Pixel Watch 3 is drawing to a close because there’s a successor on the horizon. Although it might not seem like there’s much new about the Pixel Watch 4, I can still see three big improvements that make me want to upgrade the moment the new watch launches. Here they are.
