Summary
$399 buys Google’s new 45mm Wi-Fi Pixel Watch 4, which adds Gemini AI, a larger round design and a battery rated for 40 hours with always-on display enabled.
The 1.4-inch Actua 360 LTPO screen reaches 3,000 nits, while bezels shrink 16% from the prior model to expand active display area by about 10%.
Google is also pushing durability and longevity: the 36.7-gram aluminum watch carries IP68 and 5ATM ratings, charges to 50% in 15 minutes and can last up to 72 hours in Battery Saver mode.
A standout change is repairability—Google says the screen and battery can be removed without damaging the watch, with replacement parts sold through iFixit and self-repair not voiding the warranty.
Wear OS 6 runs on a Snapdragon W5 Gen 2 with 2GB RAM and 32GB storage, while Fitbit health tools, dual-frequency GPS and optional LTE satellite SOS broaden the watch’s appeal.
With a 3000-nit display and Gemini AI, does Google's repairable Pixel Watch 4 finally solve the smartwatch industry's notorious e-waste and battery problems?
Can the Pixel Watch 4's rapid charging and 40-hour battery truly justify its $399 price tag in a heavily saturated wearable market?
