If you’ve been waiting for Google’s next big thing in smartwatches, the buzz is starting—and it’s exciting. While the Pixel 10 series is set to headline Google’s next big hardware event later this year, the Pixel Watch 4 is already stealing some of that spotlight.
Thanks to fresh leaks from OnLeaks and 91mobiles, we now have our first look at the most refined Pixel Watch yet.
Familiar, But Smarter: What’s New in Design?
At first glance, the Google Pixel Watch 4 keeps the clean and classy round face we’ve come to expect.
The curved glass and smooth edges are still here, making it instantly recognizable as part of the Pixel Watch family. But look a little closer, and you’ll spot a few interesting changes.
For one, the watch is getting a bit thicker. It’s now rumored to be 14.3mm, compared to 12.3mm on the Pixel Watch 3. That extra size could mean a bigger battery — and fingers crossed, finally more than one day of battery life.
The screen also has slightly slimmer bezels, giving the watch a more refined look. It’s not quite bezel-free, but the reduced frame does help it feel more modern and sleek.
Wireless Charging? Yes, Please!
Here’s one of the most exciting bits: no visible charging pins. That could mean wireless charging is finally coming to the Pixel Watch series.
Whether Google uses the Qi standard or something custom, it could be a game-changer for daily use—and might even open the door for reverse charging from Pixel phones.
Imagine topping up your watch just by placing it on your phone. Sweet, right?
More Buttons, More Mystery
One design surprise is the appearance of two extra buttons flanking the speaker grille.
Google hasn’t said what they’re for (yet), but they could be used for shortcuts, new sensor features, or even more advanced health tracking.
The rest of the back layout looks familiar, retaining the same sensor module.
Sizes, Colors, and Style Options
While Google hasn’t confirmed anything officially, rumors suggest the Pixel Watch 4 will come in two sizes again — possibly 41mm and 45mm. This should make it easier for users with different wrist sizes to find the perfect fit.
As for looks, the leaked renders show a matte black case, but we’re almost certain more colors are on the way.
Last year’s model came in silver, champagne gold, and more — with band options like obsidian, porcelain, and rose quartz. Expect a similar colorful line-up this time, too.
Under the Hood: What’s Powering It?
There’s a lot we don’t know yet about the specs. The Pixel Watch 3 runs on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon W5 Gen 1, but many fans are hoping for Google’s Tensor chip to make its smartwatch debut.
While that might still be a dream, any new chip could mean better performance and longer battery life — two areas where Pixel Watches have struggled.
Wrapping Up: Why You Should Be Excited
The Pixel Watch series has always shown promise, but battery life and charging limitations have held it back. With a thicker body, potential wireless charging, and smart design tweaks, the Pixel Watch 4 might finally be the version that gets everything right.
If you’re into smartwatches, especially ones that pair beautifully with Android and Pixel phones, keep an eye on this.
As more juicy details leak out and the launch date gets closer, we’ll be right here to break it all down for you — no tech jargon, just the stuff you care about.
