Following the big success of the Pixel Watch 3, Google is all set to announce the Pixel Watch 4 later this month. It seems that Google is preparing a whole lot of upgrades for its upcoming smartwatch, including built-in Gemini, dual-frequency GPS, and so much more. And thanks to some credible leaks, we already have our first look at the Pixel Watch 4 as well.

What we know about the Google Pixel Watch 4 so far

No changes in design

Unlike how Samsung went with a new look for its new Galaxy Watch 8 and Galaxy Watch 8 Classic this year, Google clearly won’t be walking the same route with its fourth-gen watch. It will be available in 41mm and 45mm sizes, like the Pixel Watch 3.

And a handful of color options, that Google will apparently call “Moonstone”, “Iris”, “Obsidian”, “Porcelain”, “Lemonello”, and “Indigo”.

But when it comes to the display, the Watch 4 will now brag 3,000 nits of peak brightness. Up from 2,000 nits on its predecessor.

Other than this, we’re also expecting a satellite communication feature on the Watch 4. Whereas some rumors suggest that Google will be adding something called “Breathing Emergencies” to its latest smartwatch as well. This feature will basically send an alert when the watch detects that your blood oxygen saturation level (SpO2) is low.

And as mentioned before, the Pixel Watch 4 will finally upgrade to dual-frequency GPS, too. Which is something we have come to expect from basically every flagship smartwatch these days.

Wear OS 6 and built-in Gemini

Other than this, it will also be the second batch of smartwatches to run on the new Wear OS 6 platform. So expect Gemini to come built-in here.

Interestingly enough, the Pixel Watch 4’s charging port will also move from the back to the side. This redesign does mean that your older Pixel Watch charger won’t work here, although this will help a lot with repairability. Plus, the charging speed itself sees a 25% bump this time.

Google Pixel Watch 4 Price and Launch Date

Alongside the Pixel 10 series, the Pixel Watch 4 will be making its debut on August 20. We doubt Google’s new watches will be any more expensive than its predecessor, though. Meaning the Pixel Watch 4 might end up costing USD 350 for the 41mm and USD 400 for the larger 45mm version.
