Pixel Watch 4 delivers the smartwatch Google always intended

Описание: The Pixel Watch 4 marks a significant evolution for Google’s smartwatch, finally delivering a sense of purpose and refinement. Its most noticeable improvement is the screen, where the glass curves through the display rather than sitting atop it, creating a softer edge and a clearer sense of depth, making the watch feel less like a gadget and more like a desirable object. The case proportions are now more balanced, the interface cleaner, and overall usability more intuitive. Available in 41 mm and 45 mm sizes, it offers comfort and restrained color options, including black, silver, soft gold, and pale pastels, with interchangeable straps for personalization. Functionally, it covers typical smartwatch features but with a different focus: it tracks over 40 exercise modes, monitors sleep, heart rate, and stress, and uses Fitbit’s readiness and cardio-load metrics to manage effort and recovery. Users can dictate messages, check calendars, control music, pay, navigate, and on LTE models, leave their phones behind. Safety features include loss-of-pulse detection and emergency satellite messaging. Technical enhancements include a brighter outdoor screen, smoother performance, longer battery life, and faster charging. Unlike other smartwatches, Google emphasizes managing daily background tasks rather than constantly chasing activity goals. While fitness tracking and navigation have room for improvement, the Pixel Watch 4 is the most complete and polished smartwatch Google has produced, priced between £399 and £449.
