- The Google Pixel Watch 4 adds support for 12 new sport modes.
- The watch now tracks more than 50 unique activity types.
- Among the added sports is Pickleball, a widely popular court sport that I love.
The Pixel Watch 4 just gave athletes and casual movers even more reasons to lace up. Google’s latest smartwatch now supports tracking for more than 50 sports and activities, up from just over 40 on the previous generation. That’s a solid bump for anyone who likes to dabble in different workouts, or for those of us who get bored running the same route every day. Below is the complete list of the 12 newly added sports, and you’ll notice that many of them are team sports:
- Badminton
- Baseball
- Basketball
- Cricket
- Field Hockey
- Football (American)
- Football/Soccer
- Outdoor Swim
- Padel
- Pickleball
- Pool swim
- Rugby
My colleagues Rita and C. Scott noted some of these additions during our own Pixel Watch 4 hands-on, and we reached out to Google for more details. Though we haven’t heard back from Google yet, DCRainmaker provided a complete list in his coverage today. On paper, the difference looks incremental; 12 more workouts might not sound like a revolutionary upgrade, yet the additions reflect how fast fitness trends evolve and how wearables try to keep pace. From dance-based cardio to outdoor adventure sports, we’re seeing more activity types on wearables across the board. Though perhaps bloated to some users’ eyes, stocked sport lineups acknowledge that not everyone fits neatly into the “run, cycle, swim” mold.
