The American giant Google has finally presented its first smartwatch, the Pixel Watch; let's go and see it up close.
Official Pixel Watch: Compact and lightweight with ECG and LTE
The Pixel Watch has a 1,2 ″ circular OLED display made of scratch-resistant Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protected glass and a stainless steel case. The smartwatch is compact, with its case measuring 41mm, 12,3mm thin and also light, weighing just 32 grams (without straps).
At the bottom of the smartwatch we find sensors that detect continuous heart rate at 1 second intervals, monitor sleep, measure blood oxygen (SpO2) and take ECG (electrocardiogram) readings.
While in terms of performance, the smartwatch integrates the Samsung Exynos 9110 chip, previously used on the Samsung Galaxy Watch 3. In any case, in addition to the Samsung Exynos 9110 chip, we also find an additional Cortex M33 chip to optimize battery life. As for RAM and storage, we have 2GB of RAM and 32GB of storage.
The Pixel Watch is equipped with Bluetooth 5.0, LTE, Wi-Fi and NFC for contactless payments. It has a compass, built-in GPS, and motion sensors such as an accelerometer and gyroscope. Plus, it has a built-in microphone and speaker for Google Assistant and calls.
Finally, the Pixel Watch is equipped with a 294 mAh battery and is water resistant up to 5 ATM.
The Pixel Watch has a starting price of € 380 for the Wi-Fi version and € 430 for the LTE version. Still no info on the possible launch in Italy.
