Google has introduced the Pixel Watch 5. This year, the smartwatch is available in two sizes: the standard 41mm and a new 45mm option. The device runs on Wear OS 7 and incorporates Gemini Intelligence for on-device processing, daily tasks, and health tracking.
Google Pixel Watch 5 Specifications
The watch uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon W5 Gen 2 Accelerated processor and a Cortex-M55 co-processor. Google increased the RAM by 50%, which the company says provides a 20% performance increase over the previous generation. The display is an AMOLED LTPO panel with a 1-60Hz adaptive refresh rate.
It has a peak brightness of 3,000 nits for outdoor visibility and a minimum brightness of 1 nit for the always-on display. The casing is made from recycled aluminum, and the screen uses custom 3D Corning Gorilla Glass 5. Base storage is set at 64GB, and the device includes Gen 3 Premium haptics, NFC, and a built-in microphone and speaker.
Gemini is integrated directly into Wear OS 7. You can activate the assistant by lifting your wrist using the Raise to Talk feature. Basic commands like setting timers, pulling up emails, or starting workouts are processed on the watch. This allows you to work without an internet connection and reduces response times. The watch also uses Gemini to surface contextual information, such as flight boarding passes or upcoming calendar events, directly on the watch face.
Health and fitness tracking includes several updates. Along with standard features like an ECG app for AFib detection, SpO2 monitoring, and heart rate variability, Google added a body-response feature to help identify physical signs of stress.
For location tracking, the Pixel Watch 5 includes dual-frequency GPS. It uses 3D building models and local weather data to maintain a signal in cities and wooded areas. Google plans to release software updates in September 2026 that will track blood pressure trends and monitor for signs of insulin resistance using the watch’s sensors.
Additionally, a new Breathing Emergency Detection tool, launching first in Europe, will monitor for severe drops in blood oxygen and automatically contact emergency services if the wearer becomes unresponsive.
The 41mm model has a 332mAh battery, which Google estimates will last up to 30 hours with the always-on display turned on. The 45mm model has a 465mAh battery, estimated at up to 40 hours. Both versions can charge to 50% in about 15 minutes using the included dock.
Pricing and Availability
The Pixel Watch 5 is available for pre-order today and will hit store shelves on August 20. In the US, the 41mm model starts at $399 for the Wi-Fi version and $499 for LTE, while the 45mm model is priced at $429 for Wi-Fi and $529 for LTE. In India, the 41mm model is priced at Rs. 42,990, and the 45mm model costs Rs. 45,990.
At the event, the company has also launched the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold.
