San Francisco | October 27-29, 2025 REGISTER NOW The tech giant says the watch is more powerful under the hood, as it features Google’s next-gen ML-powered co-processor that’s 25% faster at half the power.

As for the advanced health and fitness tracking, Google announced that the Pixel Watch 4 is 18% more accurate at classifying complete sleep cycles and can track time spent in each stage of sleep. Plus, with a new Skin Temperature sensor, the watch can help detect changes in your well-being.

Additionally, the Pixel Watch 4’s new dual-frequency GPS allows for more accurate route tracking even in tough environments, like a downtown city run or a tree-dense hike.

Google notes that in instances where you have forgotten to start a workout on your watch, it will use AI to automatically detect and classify your activity. Plus, Google has added new exercise options, including basketball and pickleball.

Google also announced that it’s introducing a personal AI health coach that gives users access to fitness and sleep coaching based on metrics from your Pixel Watch. The idea behind the feature is to give users a 24/7 AI-powered health coach on their wrist that offers them on-demand guidance tailored to their goals. Users will be able to ask questions like, “Is this cold plunge actually good for me?” or “What’s the best way to fight jet lag?”

The tech giant is launching a preview of the health coach for users who use any Fitbit device or Pixel Watch in the U.S. this October.

Pixel Watch 4 is available for preorder today and on shelves starting October 9.
