While the Google Pixel Watch 4 does look very similar to its predecessor, it does bring along quite a few new features.

Google is also expanding its Personal Safety features on the Pixel Watch 4. While the Pixel Watch already had Emergency SOS, Crash Detection, and Fall Detection, Google is now adding Emergency Satellite Communications and Breathing Emergencies.

When it comes to breathing emergencies, the Pixel Watch 4 will alert you when your oxygen levels are detected as low. This is thanks to the continuous SpO2 sensing on the Pixel Watch 4. This comes after Google added the Loss of Pulse feature last year, using the heart rate sensor.

Google Pixel Watch 4 debuts on August 20

Google has now confirmed that the Google Pixel Watch 4 will debut on August 20, having just started to send out invites to their August 20th Made by Google Event yesterday. It’s set to debut alongside the Google Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, Pixel 10 Pro Fold and likely the Pixel Buds 2a as well.

The Pixel Watch 4 is looking to be a pretty small update, but in actuality, it’s got quite a few upgrades. Not only is it improving the personal safety features, but it is also making it repairable. That’s actually a pretty big deal for the Pixel Watch, as every other Pixel Watch was not repairable at all. Battery needs to be replaced? Gotta replace the whole watch. Did you shatter the screen? Replace the whole watch. That’s a whole lot of e-waste, and it’s great that Google has finally heard us in that regard.

So far, we don’t expect to see a price increase for the Pixel Watch 4; the previous model started at $349, so if it stays at that price point, it would be pretty competitive with the Galaxy Watch 8 and OnePlus Watch 3 series.
