Google describes Pixel Watch 5 as a “proactive assistance and advanced health tracking on your wrist.”
The Google Pixel Watch 5 comes with a 3,000-nit domed Actua 360 Display. Google has also added 11 new glanceable complication styles, two new watch faces and generative watch faces that can be personalised to match the user’s style.
One of the biggest upgrades is deeper Gemini integration. The Pixel Watch 5’s At a Glance feature can surface context-aware information directly on the watch face, such as boarding passes when you arrive at an airport or the number of stops remaining during a commute. An improved Raise to Talk feature lets users activate Gemini simply by lifting their wrist to start a workout, set a timer or access information such as dinner reservations from Gmail.
Furthermore, the Pixel Watch 5 comes with Gemini Intelligence Proactive Suggestions, which can anticipate useful actions based on context. For example, if someone asks about an upcoming family dinner, Gemini can find the relevant information in the user’s calendar and display it on the watch.
Under the hood, the Pixel Watch 5 is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon W5 Gen 2 Accelerated processor and uses a power-efficient dual-chip architecture. According to Google, it has 50 per cent more RAM and offers a 12 per cent CPU performance boost, making the smartwatch around 20 per cent faster.
Google claims the Pixel Watch 5 delivers its most accurate GPS route tracking yet, with 2x greater accuracy than previous generations in difficult environments. “Pixel Watch 5 has our most accurate GPS route tracking for exercise, outperforming Apple Watch Ultra 3 and Garmin Fenix 8 Pro,” the tech giant said. Also, Google claims the Pixel Watch 5 offers 15 per cent more accurate sleep-stage detection.
As for battery life, Google claims the 41mm Pixel Watch 5 can last up to 40 hours, while the larger 45mm model offers up to 30 hours. Fast charging is also supported. The smartwatch features what Google describes as an industry-leading repairable architecture.
Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 features
The Pixel Buds Pro 2 are getting several new features, including Dynamic ANC, which automatically adjusts noise cancellation to compensate for subtle changes in the earbuds’ seal.
The buds now come with Gemini audio control, allowing users to control earbud settings using voice commands. For example, users can say, “Hey Google, turn up the bass” to adjust audio without reaching for their phone. The earbuds can also work with a Pixel Watch to detect when the user falls asleep and automatically pause music.
Google has also introduced a new Olive colour option for the Pixel Buds Pro 2.
