Sometimes the devil is in the details. After the design and spec leaks for the Pixel Watch 4 disappointed many, exciting new features and functions of the new Google wearable are now gradually being revealed, including new SOS features and some new fitness functions.
On August 20, almost exactly one month from now, Google will unveil four new Pixel 10 flagships, the Pixel Buds 2a and the Pixel Watch 4 series. Almost all details about the latter have already been made public. The leak detailing all the Pixel Watch 4 Euro prices was only some hours ago, and another one about improved repairability and the new SOS features is only a day old.
Android Headlines now has even more information for potential Pixel Watch 4 buyers, especially athletes and those who use the smartwatch to measure their fitness progress. Google is set to make significant improvements here, partly based on the adopted Fitbit features, of course. Strength athletes should also get their money’s worth via a workout builder with which you can create interval training, warm-up and cool-down phases in order to optimize your training as much as possible.
Those with a Fitbit Premium subscription will also benefit from daily running recommendations via the company’s in-house AI. According to the leak, the Pixel Watch will provide running recommendations in real-time, and evaluate metrics such as cadence, stride length, vertical oscillation and ratio, and the duration of ground contact. Swimmers and cyclists will also find the Pixel Watch useful, as tracking has been improved in both disciplines. A total of over 40 sports are now automatically recognized, and the readiness score and dual-band GPS have been optimized in the fourth Pixel Watch generation.

Growing up in regional Australia, I first became acquainted with computers in my early teens after a broken leg from a football (soccer) match temporarily condemned me to a predominately indoor lifestyle. Soon afterwards I was building my own systems. Now I live in Germany, having moved here in 2014, where I study philosophy and anthropology. I am particularly fascinated by how computer technology has fundamentally and dramatically reshaped human culture, and how it continues to do so.
