It might look the same, but Google has made a number of important upgrades to the Pixel Watch 4 while keeping the price the same as its predecessor. Fitbit Premium remains the biggest sticking point, but a 6-month trial will allow you to decide if you need to pay for it. Small issues here and there don’t prevent it from being the best all-round Wear OS smartwatch. It should be top of your shortlist for pairing with an Android phone.

The $349.99 Google Pixel Watch 4 adds several smart updates that add up to the best Android smartwatch you can buy.

It has all the extras I want, has superb health and fitness tracking capabilities, and thankfully, it still costs just $349 ($399 for the larger model). It's repairable, too! Google lets you swap out the battery and display, and the process is very easy. Now the only thing I have to do is switch out this dumb band.

The Pixel Watch 4 is a solid smartwatch thanks to its well-rounded suite of features. Its repairable design and super fast charging are laudable bonuses.

The new Google Pixel Watch 4 is faster, brighter, and more customizable than ever. Unless you already have the Google Pixel Watch 3, it's worth it.

By Mashable on October 08, 2025

The Pixel Watch 4's curved display and impressive battery life make it one of the best-looking and longest-lasting Android smartwatches available.

By PCMag on October 08, 2025

Google has demonstrated impressive success with this smartwatch, notably through the inclusion of the Fitbit Premium trial and its comprehensive functionality. This device is ideal for individuals interested in exploring a high-quality, premium smartwatch experience.

However, this nice hardware would be even better if the battery lasted longer. If increasing the case size by 1 or 1.5mm leads to a noticeable increase in battery life, Google should do it for the next Pixel Watch. Having to charge your 41mm Pixel Watch 4 every day is not the end of the world, but it’s not feeling very futuristic — a personal benchmark or mine — in 2025. Otherwise, the Pixel Watch 4 is Google’s biggest leap in wearables. It’s a winner, but it could be better in an obvious way.

By 9to5Google on October 08, 2025

This is a solid smartwatch, just like the previous Pixel Watch models were. I love the Fitbit integration, as I truly do believe it’s the best overall tracking experience for most people. The upgraded display has been fun to use and the new software UI looks great on it. Battery life is acceptable for a smartwatch that does a lot during the day and the design remains my favorite of any smartwatch.
