Google Pixel Watch review: Taking Fitbit further with a gorgeous look and new features

Tech giant Google has been firing on all cylinders recently with its new hardware lineup. From the Pixel buds Pro to brand new phones, the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro, but now they have finally released their own brand new smartwatch, The Pixel Watch.

It's not too surprising considering Google's $2.1 billion dollar acquisition of Fitbit back in 2019, in addition to their ongoing support of Wear OS, Google's Android operating system for wearable and smartwatches like the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 and the Fossil Gen 6.

A google smartwatch has been what many Google fans have been waiting for, but does it rise to the challenge of the Apple Watch?

The Google Pixel watch looks fantastic with its compact circular, circular, glossy case that fits Google's minimal aesthetic. Its design while obviously being identifiable as a smartwatch, although it's less stylized than the Apple watch but not as regular looking as some of the Galaxy Watches or the Huawei GT3 Pro.

Due to that very glossy design, the Pixel watch looks premium and hi-tech while still being minimal and low-key, my only criticism here is I wish there was a larger size option as I prefer chunkier watches.
