![]() The crown can be twisted to navigate through the menus, where it’s accompanied by some pleasing haptic feedback, or pressed to open the main menu or go back to the main screen. It does feel very secure, but like the Apple Watch, it means you can’t use normal watch straps - only those specially made with Google’s system. It’s a bit awkward to do, and putting it back on requires more precision than you may expect. It’s attached using a proprietary system, where you press a tiny button on the case and slide the strap to the side to remove it. ![]() I’m wearing the shortest of the two straps in the photos. My review Pixel Watch has a skin-friendly, very flexible, and easy-to-wear rubber strap - and there are two sizes included in the box. The stainless steel case of my review model is in the Polished Silver color, but you can also get a Matte Black and Champagne Gold style. The Gorilla Glass case back’s rounded shape means it makes good contact with your skin, and the equally curved screen and the lack of physical bezel on the case make swiping smooth and easy. It’s light enough at 64 grams with the strap to be worn 24 hours a day, and I’ve been able to sleep happily with the Pixel Watch on my wrist. On the positive side, the case is smooth, ergonomic, and supremely comfortable. Producing a single, big 45mm smartwatch is restrictive, but so is only making a single, small 41mm smartwatch. You can only get a 41mm Pixel Watch, and it’s small for a smartwatch. The Apple Watch Series 8 and the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 come in two sizes, making them suitable for different wrist sizes and personal preferences. But no, Google has only made one size, and it’s a serious misstep. I regularly look at it on my wrist and think it looks quite dainty like I’ve bought the smaller size by mistake. I don’t feel anything when I look at it.Īctually, this isn’t strictly true. By avoiding anything approaching a personality or character, Google has made the Pixel Watch too simple. It’s all very minimalist, but not in a good way. It is devoid of design flourish or extraneous visual garnish, and while there is a button on the side of the case, it’s flush and hidden from view, so you forget it’s there. It has a circular case, a crown on the side, and a strap to secure it to your wrist. Google Pixel Watch design Andy Boxall/Digital Trends This is what it’s like, and where it all goes wrong.
