Google Pixel Watch 4 review

The Pixel Watch 4 is the best fit for Android owners who are not tied to Samsung. Google's US store lists it from $349.99. The spec sheet includes multipurpose electrical sensors for the ECG app, red and infrared sensors for SpO2, a multi-path optical heart rate sensor, a far field skin temperature sensor and a cEDA sensor for body response tracking. It runs Wear OS 6.0 on a Snapdragon W5 Gen 2 with 2 GB of SDRAM and 32 GB of storage, and dual frequency GPS uses GPS, Galileo and Glonass. Battery is listed at up to 30 hours on the 41mm and 40 hours on the 45mm with the always-on display, and up to 48 or 72 hours in Battery Saver Mode. Charging reaches 50% in about 15 minutes.
