The day Pixel fans have been eagerly waiting to see for years is finally here! Google has officially launched its first ever smartwatch, the aptly named Pixel Watch, today. First showcased alongside the Pixel 7 series at Google I/O 2022 earlier this year, the Pixel Watch features a premium design, health features on par with the Apple Watch 8, Wear OS 3 with new features, and more.

Designed and built by Google, the first version of the Pixel Watch looks premium and is feature-rich. It has a circular domed display, which is a 1.2-inch AMOLED panel, with always-on-display (AOD) functionality and 3D Corning Gorilla Glass. Finally, Google claims that the dome design "makes the bezel visually disappear" but let's talk more about that.

As we've seen in the many leaks ahead of today's launch, the Pixel Watch has huge bezels (5.5mm, according to a new leak) around the circular display. It's been the talk of the internet ever since, so we have to mention it. Now, the dark UI of Wear OS can hide the bezels and make the screen/UI feel cohesive, but it's likely to be an eyesore for outdoor use. The bezels on the Pixel Watch put even older Moto 360 watches to shame.

The Pixel Watch supports three stainless steel finishes: black, silver, and gold. As for the straps, the watch supports a twist-and-lock mechanism that securely holds the straps in place. You can choose from four different band styles – the standard active band, the Stretch and Woven band for comfort, and metal and leather bands for the classic premium look.
