It’s something I think only Apple has really pulled off to date, and Google takes it a step further since this looks like an actual watch, not a stylish computer on the wrist. Meanwhile, the matte black option comes off a bit more sporty, akin to how the Apple Watch has a matte finish on the models aimed at sporty users and the mass market.Īnd really, Google deserves some credit for striking that balance. Our Abner Li says he’s come to prefer the smooth, polished cases over the rougher texture of the black, with the shininess giving a more premium feeling. But at the same time, it fits in just as well with dressy clothing.
The Pixel Watch is certainly on the “fancy” end of the spectrum, especially in its polished silver and gold variants, but paired with the “Active” band, it fits in pretty well as a sports watch too. I think Google nailed the balance of a futuristic smartwatch and a classic timepiece and in a way that seems to fit most styles. Getting it out of the way, the Pixel Watch is a gorgeous piece of hardware.įrom the “dome” design of the curved glass to the compact size and bands that blend right into the stainless steel chassis, everything comes together for a gorgeous piece of hardware. Our review of the Google Pixel Watch was first published on October 12, but updated on October 20 following more time with the product. The Pixel Watch is finally here as Google’s first self-branded Wear OS smartwatch, nearly a decade into the platform’s existence.
It’s almost surreal that this product finally exists.
