Introduction — Pixel Watch 4 Release date August 2025
The Pixel Watch 4 will be revealed at Google’s “Made by Google” event on August 20, 2025, the company’s store and many sites confirm. The Pixel Watch 4 comes with Wear OS 6 and is expected to combine better Fitbit connection, improved sensors and new charging system that may finally no remove the need for an adapter.
Google’s own blog confirms Gemini — the company’s new assistant — is going live to Wear OS devices and will be a main part of the Pixel Watch 4 experience.
“Starting today, Gemini, your personal AI assistant from Google, begins rolling out to Wear OS watches,” is the official statement from Google’s announcement. This promises faster, more natural questions on the wrist and stronger app links than earlier assistants.
(Our thought: Gemini’s release will likely unlock fast response assistant features for on-device queries as manufacturers ship working processors.)
What we know about hardware and charging
Leaks and reports from sources show the Pixel Watch 4 will come in two sizes (41mm and 45mm), keep a circular AMOLED face and likely boost battery capacity over the Pixel Watch 3. Reports point to small changes versus last year — but not a high cost. One of the most important leak works with Qi2 wireless charging. Qi2 is a newer charging rule that adds magnet fit and faster charge settings for compatible devices.
If Pixel Watch 4 supports Qi2, users may be able to charge on Qi2-compatible pads without a special connector — a helpful benefit for anyone who travels or wants simpler charging at home. The Wireless Power Consortium explains Qi2 and its charging profiles.
Software: Wear OS 6 and Fitbit features
Wear OS 6 introduces the Material 3 style design language, smooth motion, and better use. Google says they will improve battery life. Sources confirm that Pixel Watch 4 will launch with Wear OS 6 out of the box, pairing the new look with Gemini AI features for summaries, notifications, and wearable tasks.
Health features from Fitbit — heart rate sensors, improved sleep tracking and running metrics — are expected to be enhanced under Google’s one health plan.
Battery, sensors and pricing expectations
Leaked capacity battery guesses the larger 45mm model may include a battery near 450 mAh, which could translate into more use compared with Pixel Watch 3. Charging speed rumors vary; Qi2-approved chargers support quicker charge on phones and accessories, but exact Pixel Watch charging wattage hasn’t been confirmed.
Price leaks put the base model close to last year’s $349 starting point, with some reports showing growth based on setup. Tom’s Guide and Android Central both explain leaks and place the launch on August 20. We will update pricing and availability as Google posts official launch or release.
