The Pixel Watch 5 is Google's most health-focused smartwatch yet. It introduces two major new capabilities: Blood Pressure Trends, which passively monitors cardiovascular patterns over the course of a month and delivers a contextualized monthly summary rather than daily noise; and Insulin Resistance Trends, part of the new Health Guardian suite, which estimates metabolic health shifts without a blood draw using heart rhythm, sleep, and movement data.
Fitness tracking sees its biggest upgrade yet with a Readiness Score, a full circuit builder synced to the wrist, audio and visual workout cues, and dual-frequency GPS.
Sleep tracking adds Sleep Breathing Quality monitoring and a revamped Morning Brief. Gemini Intelligence is built into the watch experience, with proactive contextual suggestions and offline voice control.
The watch runs Wear OS 7.0 on the Snapdragon W5 Gen 2 Accelerated chip, comes in 41mm and 45mm sizes, and is available in Obsidian, Fog, Olive, and Canyon – with a Stephen Curry Special Edition exclusive to the US. Pricing has not yet been confirmed.

The tracker supports Ultra-Wideband with Bluetooth Channel Sounding for precision finding with directional cues, plays a sound when in Bluetooth range, and includes a button to ring your phone in reverse. Battery life lasts up to a year and is user-replaceable. It pairs via Fast Pair, supports sharing with up to 10 people, and works with Pixel Watch and Pixel Buds.

Google is rolling out new software features for its existing Pixel Buds lineup. The Pixel Buds Pro 2 gain a new color, alongside some cool software updates. Dynamic ANC adjusts automatically when the seal shifts to maintain powerful noise cancellation, while Gemini audio control via voice commands and the Pixel Watch can now sync – the watch detects when you fall asleep and pauses music and silences notifications automatically.
Live Translate is also upgraded, now covering over 70 languages in near real-time with two-way translation, playing your spoken words back to the other person in their language through your Pixel phone. Pixel Buds Pro 2 is also getting a new Olive finish. Software updates begin rolling out in September.
