- The Pixel Watch 3 is finally adding menstrual health features right on your wrist.
- This will let you log periods, view cycle status, and predict your next periods.
- The feature will roll out with the March Pixel Drop for the Pixel Watch 3.
Ever since the original Pixel Watch launched, I’ve been lamenting the complete absence of period tracking on the watch. Sure, I can open the Fitbit app and (buggily) track my menstrual health or log a period, but the option wasn’t there on my wrist on the smartwatch that, you know, I supposedly bought to track my overall health. Clearly, women’s health — and providing half of the population with an essential feature — wasn’t on Google engineers’ minds. Not the first time this has happened, and Google is not the first company to forget it, either. (Yes, I am bitter.)
Now, three years later, period tracking is finally coming to the Pixel Watch 3. Not the Watch 2 nor the original Watch, though, because apparently tapping a couple of buttons requires super advanced hardware and capabilities /s. But I digress. It’s finally a reality, despite being arbitrarily feature-locked to the latest Pixel Watch.
