I always underestimate what effect a smaller bezel and larger display will have on me when I see a new product. It happened with many Pixel phones and watches before, where I based my early opinion on online renders. The real thing, though, ends up being 10 times better. And this is precisely what happened when I saw and tried the new Pixel Watch 4 for the first time.
There’s something more elegant and refined about Google’s new smartwatch, but that’s not all. A newer processor, faster sideways charger, impressively improved repairability, and promise of better battery life; all of these contribute to making the new Pixel Watch 4 a significant upgrade. Even Google told me this is the biggest update to the Pixel Watch portfolio since it launched, so don’t let the minor appearance changes fool you into thinking it’s an incremental change.
