Google finally unveiled its first ever smartwatch, after so many years of it being rumored. Google bought Fitbit, so it wasn\u2019t a surprise to see Fitbit\u2019s CEO James Park get up on stage to talk about the Pixel Watch. It\u2019s also the first Wear OS device to have Fitbit built-in. Which is pretty cool to see.
\nBut enough about Fitbit, you can\u2019t really test that in a hands-on environment. So how was the hardware?
\nIt could use some refinement
\nMy rule with new hardware is that the first generation hardware gets a pass. And I usually don\u2019t buy first-generation products because of that. And that is sort of the case here. The hardware doesn\u2019t feel as premium as say, the Apple Watch or even the Galaxy Watch 5. But the Pixel Watch does sit right in the middle, in terms of pricing.
\nThe Pixel Watch is all glass, so yeah it\u2019s gonna be fingerprint central unfortunately. But the pebble-like design does make it stand out. Something else that makes it stand out\u2026 those huge bezels. That\u2019s something that\u2019s hard to forgive in 2022. Those bezels are larger than some of the first Wear OS watches that came out in 2015. It does kind of blend in with the watch, so you may only notice it with some apps and settings. But once you see it, you can\u2019t unsee it.
\nThat\u2019s not to say the hardware is bad, but it could use some work. Of course, comparing it to the Apple Watch and the Galaxy Watch 5 isn\u2019t totally fair, as both have made many, many watches at this point. And while this is Google\u2019s first, it isn\u2019t Fitbit\u2019s. Fitbit has been making watches for a few years. Though, those don\u2019t really look like jewelry, which is what Google wants to do here.
\nThen there\u2019s the bands. They scream Fitbit. Which doesn\u2019t mean they scream quality. I\u2019ve been wearing an Apple Watch for the past two years, and the sports band for the Pixel Watch feels very cheap compared to the Apple Watch\u2019s sports band. The woven, stretchy band also feels very thin. We\u2019ll have to wait to see how these hold up once we get one in hand and use it for a bit, but I don\u2019t think these are worth the $49 and up, price tag.
\nStay tuned for our full review of the Pixel Watch in the coming days.
