Google Pixel Watch
The Pixel Watch isn’t a total wash. It’s a grand first entry from Google, which is finding its footing–yet again–with its wearables platform. So far, brands like Samsung and Fossil have been the torchbearers for Android’s smartwatches. But as Google worked to establish its hardware lineup, it was time to release a flagship smartwatch that could serve as a benchmark for those other partners. Unfortunately for Google, Samsung still sets the standard. The Galaxy Watch 5 is the best Android smartwatch worth wearing, if only because it almost does everything the Apple Watch does. Google’s Pixel Watch isn’t bad; I’d suggest you check it out if you find it on sale and are keen on the Fitbit app for health tracking. But the $350 price tag isn’t worth it for a smartwatch with a contentious design and that launched with some missing features.
