The Google Pixel Watch is the perfect wearable companion.
Call, text, navigate, and track your fitness without taking out your smartphone.

With the Google Pixel Watch, everything you need is on your wrist.

You can do everything from texting to navigating with Google Maps to paying for your latte with your Pixel Watch – all without having to pull out a smartphone. 

Make calls and texts, hands-free

Stay in touch when you’re on your run, busy chopping onions, or just don’t feel like taking your phone out of your pocket. The Pixel Watch makes it easier to keep up with friends and family, without tapping a finger.7

Thanks to an in-device speaker and microphone, you can text and call straight from your watch. Just say “Hey Google, call Mom.”3 You can even use your voice to answer texts.

Of course, you can still use your fingers the old-fashioned way. Answering messages on your Pixel Watch is simple: With just a few taps, you can reply using emoji and short phrases.

Improve your fitness and your rest

Your Pixel Watch can recognize and track 40+ exercises, including running, aerobics, and yoga, and help you set and meet your goals. Take advantage of advanced fitness tracking features like Cardio Load, which tracks how hard your heart is working throughout the day so you can make sure you’re doing the right amount of training.

Your watch’s health sensors can also help you learn more about the quality of your sleep. Wake up to a Morning Brief that summarizes things like Sleep Score and the day’s weather. And with readiness insights, you’ll know what your body’s ready for: rest, workouts, or something in between.

Check maps with a glance at your wrist

Easily find your way while you’re out and about. Set your destination in Google Maps using your Pixel Watch’s touchscreen or your voice.8 If you’re exploring and aren’t sure you’ll have a signal, you can download a map of the area before you leave and access it from your wrist when you’re there.

Think you made a wrong turn? The Pixel Watch makes it easy to tell if you’re moving in the right direction. Just turn your body, and your display will reflect your change in orientation, helping you get where you’re going faster.

Stay safe and get help in an emergency

Whether you’re working out or walking home at night, sometimes you need some extra peace of mind. Check in with loved ones through the Pixel Watch’s safety features. With Safety Check, your Pixel Watch will check in with you after a certain amount of time. If there’s no response, the watch will share location information with your emergency contacts.9

The Pixel Watch can also send for help if it detects a hard fall, car accident, or sudden loss of pulse.10 When it identifies an emergency, the Pixel Watch will check in with you. If you’re unable to respond, the watch can contact first responders for you. Opt to share medical information – like your blood type and allergies – with responders, even if you’re unconscious, so you can receive life-saving assistance. 

Go shopping or ride the bus hands-free

When you’re at the front of the checkout line or boarding public transit, it can be stressful to have to dig through your wallet looking for your payment card. Or maybe you don’t want to travel with a wallet at all. You can pay with a quick tap of your wrist using the Pixel Watch – just open Google Wallet and hold your watch over the contactless payment reader until you hear a sound or feel a vibration. 

With the Pixel Watch, your cards are safe, even if your watch is lost or stolen. If you set a PIN or lock pattern, your watch will lock automatically when you take it off.

Everything you need, all day long

The benefits don’t stop there – the Pixel Watch has plenty more to keep your day running smoothly. Check emails and other notifications, control your Google TV, and snap photos with your Pixel’s camera – all from your Pixel Watch. You can even check your Nest Cam feed using the Google Home app.6

Whether you keep your Pixel phone on you or leave it at home while you’re out, it’s easy to use your watch to track your fitness stats, keep in touch with loved ones, or make a purchase. With the Pixel Watch, more of what you need is within arm’s reach.
