First unveiled at the Google IO event in May, the latest Pixel Watch smartwatch is Google's answer to Apple's popular Apple Watch series that only works with iPhones. Google Pixel Watch runs on the WearOS 3.5 platform, powered by an Exynos chipset and other Google centric apps.

Google Pixel Watch has been formally introduced, and we already knew what the Pixel wristwatch will look like. Google states that the Pixel Watch was designed to be your everyday companion that also functions as a smartphone on your wrist. It sports an AMOLED display with a thick bezel, which Google proudly displays. It is powered with an Exynos chipset and runs the WearOS operating system.

The Pixel Watch casing is constructed of 80 percent recyclable materials, which Samsung and Apple are also using these days. The band features a soft-touch texture and fits the Pixel Watch well. It weighs 36 grammes without the band, making it comfortable to wear during the day and even while sleeping. Google's bands are carefully engineered to accommodate both small and big wrist sizes.
