It was something long awaited, we talked about the arrival of the first smart watch from Google. And this from today is a reality, since the Pixel Watch is a reality. With the Wear OS 3.5 operating system and taking advantage of the experience of Fitbit (a company now owned by the Mountain View firm), we show you what this initial bet is like.
With a circular screen type AMOLED that is tactile and that gives a different touch to the wearable, the dimensions of this panel are 1.2 inches, so it is not particularly large (with a density of 320dpi and brightness of 1,000 nits), which ensures that it will never bother you. It comes in two variants, one WiFi only and the other with LTE support, in order to always be connected to the Internet and get the most out of the Pixel Watch.
Inside it is striking that the chosen processor is a Exynos 9190, a solvent SoC, but that is not exactly very current (worse, it moves the operating system with ease, or at least that is what the firm itself indicates). As far as RAM is concerned, the amount chosen is 2GB and the 32 gig storage (This last one is important, something that attracts attention and it will be necessary to see what options it allows beyond the installation of applications).
A battery that places this Pixel Watch in the average
The integrated charge is 300mAh. A little more was expected, in order to distance itself from what has been seen in the competition (such as the Apple Watch or the Samsung Galaxy Watch). Is enough for get a day of use usual, which translates into not being out of tune. Of course, additional usage options are included that increase the indicated time (and this is where the Fitbit experience is especially noticeable). By the way, it offers fast and wireless charging, to offer all the solutions that may be needed.
The accessory can be used both in iOS like in Android, so its compatibility is complete. In addition, it has a microphone and speaker, so you can access the Google Assistant directly or answer calls without using the phone with which it is paired via Bluetooth.
Some options more that you should know are the ones that we show you below:
- 5 atmosphere water resistance
- It includes ECG, heart rate, accelerometer and gyroscope sensors.
- Two strap sizes: 130 and 175 millimeters for the small one and 165 and 200 mm for the large one.
Availability and price of this new smartwatch
From today you can reserve the device manufactured in stainless steel in different markets and its price is $350, the model that includes WiFi connectivity and, if you want to get the one that includes 4G, it goes up to $400. Therefore, we speak of a price reasonable which is below the Apple Watch above the new Samsung smartwatch.
