[GOOGLE PIXEL WATCH REVIEW]

The years since Google’s smartwatch platform hit the market back in 2014 have been … chaotic. In the face of lackluster demand after several generations of smartwatches, Android Wear would be rebranded to “Wear OS” and undergo a painful parade of reinventions, often hamstrung by underpowered silicon and inconsistencies across its various hardware partners. Samsung got so fed up with Wear OS that it pivoted to its own Tizen software to power its Galaxy Watches for several years, only recently having been wooed back. Pebble, the OG smartwatch maker, got bought by Fitbit – which in turn got scooped up by Google. And in the midst of all this upheaval, Apple just kept counting money, selling millions of Apple Watches across eight generations of slow but steady iteration.

Flash forward to 2022 and the Pixel Watch is the smartwatch Google built to change all that. Like many first-generation products, it’s too expensive; it doesn’t do enough of what it promises; and it has no chance of living up to its hype. But it’s also proof positive that Google actually cares about smartwatches again. I’m Michael Fisher and I’ve spent a month with the Pixel Watch on my wrist: join me for the Google Pixel Watch Review!
