2025, if all credible rumors are to be believed, will be the year Google releases its most advanced smartwatch yet – the Google Pixel Watch 4. A device that is said to combine aesthetic minimalism, advanced artificial intelligence, and functionality that borders on science fiction. Fortunately, with a better battery.

Google adheres to its product cycles almost as precisely as a Swiss watchmaker. Everything indicates that it will Pixel Watch 4 released in August or October 2025, in line with the launch Pixel 10 series, as indicated by PhoneArena and Tom's Guide analyses.

Two sizes will be available: 41mm and 45mm, which is the first time Google has offered a larger model. That means more screen space, a bigger battery — and more reasons to look at your watch even when there are no notifications.

As for the price, it should be around $349 for 41mm and $399 for 45mm, which is in line with the current price range Pixel Watch 3Of course, the possibility of upgrades (read: more expensive versions) is real – after all, we live in an era where "premium" is no longer a choice, but a status.

Shape: less edge, more design

Pixel Watch 4 It is expected to retain its characteristic round shape, but according to PhoneArena, it will receive minor but significant design tweaks: smaller edges, which means better screen utilization, and the possibility of better serviceability – which is not yet confirmed, but is indicated by patents and rumors from reliable sources.

A display that outshines everything else

New screen Actua Display (the name we learned about with the Pixel 8) will supposedly be capable of up to 2000 nits brightness, which means you'll be able to look at your watch even in the middle of the midday sun - without shading it with your palm like in 2005.

The screen will be protected by tempered glass, probably Gorilla Glass (or an upgrade to it), but it has not yet been confirmed whether sapphire protection will be used – like with the competition in higher classes.


Battery: two days of peace. Maybe.

306mAh at 41mm and 420mAh at 45mm are values that should be sufficient for up to two days of use, depending on usage – which means: if you don't listen to the watch all day, it will last you.

Fast charging It is said to enable up to 50 % in 30 minutes and up to 80 % in 50 minutes, which is quite impressive and in line with the experience of Pixel Watch 3 users. Improved thermal optimization is also expected, thanks to the new chipset.

Hardware Power: Tensor or Snapdragon?

One of the biggest unknowns – but also the most interesting – is which chip will power the Pixel Watch 4.

Rumors tend to point to two possibilities:

  • Snapdragon W5 Gen 2, which is currently the most advanced chip for wearable devices,
  • or Google's own Tensor G4, which would be the first watch with a chip from the family that powers their phones.

In both cases we expect greater energy efficiency, better application management and support for advanced features with artificial intelligence, including Gemini AI, Google's next-generation personal AI assistant.

Features that are no longer just “fancy extras”

The Pixel Watch 4 is expected to bring the following upgrades:

  • Dual-band GPS – for precise tracking, even in urban jungles with tall buildings.
  • Fit Score – an innovation derived from Fitbit patents and using MEMS technology for better analysis of your health. Yes, your watch will probably know you better than your personal doctor.
  • Pulse and ECG detection, already known from the Pixel Watch 3, is said to be even more accurate.
  • Camera control on a Pixel phone – perfect for those hands-free selfies.
  • Google Maps, Google Wallet, Google TV Remote, Nest integration – all already known, but now more fluent.
  • Call Screen and Pixel Recorder support, which means you can also control voice and transcription of conversations on your watch.

Google Pixel Watch 4 software: Wear OS, version unknown, but improved

Rumors of Wear OS 5.1 are serious, but Google has not yet confirmed the official numbers. But we can certainly expect:

  • improved media control,
  • new step counting algorithm,
  • better integration with Google services,
  • and an even more "fluid" user experience.

Wear OS is becoming a serious platform – after years of promises, now finally in practice.
