The new Pixel Watch 5 introduces advanced Gemini intelligence for proactive, hands-free assistance and features the most accurate GPS tracking available.

You can pre-order the watch starting August 12, with general availability beginning August 20.
The new Pixel Watch 5 uses AI to help you manage your day and track your health more easily. It features improved GPS for better workout tracking and new tools to help you monitor your fitness and sleep. The watch can even detect breathing emergencies and call for help if you're unresponsive. It’s faster than previous models and comes in several new styles.
Last year, Pixel Watch 4 set a new standard for our smartwatches with its iconic design, long lasting ultra-fast charging battery, and on-wrist Gemini capabilities. Today, Pixel Watch 5 builds upon this foundation to change what a smartwatch can do, delivering our most proactive help and health experience yet.

Pixel Watch 5 works silently in the background so you can stay present in the moments that matter most. At the center of this experience is At a Glance, which brings dynamic, context-aware updates directly to your watch face right when you need them. At a Glance ensures critical information is always right at hand — like surfacing live boarding passes as you step into the airport or showing remaining stops on your morning commute.
Interacting with your watch is even faster and more fluid thanks to major enhancements to Raise to Talk, our most popular way to interact with Gemini.

Simply lift your wrist to engage Gemini to launch a workout, set a timer, or pull up dinner reservations straight from Gmail. Powered by on-device AI, core actions now process instantly with low latency, even when you’re completely offline.
Building on that foundation, Gemini Intelligence Proactive Suggestions turns complex, multi-step tasks into seamless one-tap actions.

If a loved one asks when is the dinner with family, Gemini automatically locates the info in your calendar and surfaces it directly on your wrist, eliminating the need to dig through your phone.
To make taking action effortless while staying in the moment, intuitive one-handed gestures work hand-in-hand with these proactive suggestions. When a timely proactive suggestion surfaces, you can select, confirm and send with a simple double pinch gesture, keeping your interactions fast and hands-free.
All of this helpfulness is driven by powerful new hardware under the hood. Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon® W5 Gen 2 Accelerated processor and a power-efficient dual-chip architecture, Pixel Watch 5 packs 50% more RAM and a 12% CPU boost — making it 20% faster so every proactive insight and action feels instant.
