The Google Pixel Watch 4 is slated to be released on August 20 and start shipping around August 28, along with the Google Pixel 10 series. And this year, it’s getting a pretty decent update, even though the specs might not tell the whole story in that regard.
As already reported, the Pixel Watch 4 will be sticking with the same chipset – Qualcomm SW5100, aka the Snapdragon W5+ Gen 1. This is the same processor that we had on the previous two Pixel Watch models. But both sizes are getting a pretty nice boost in terms of battery life.
One of the bigger upgrades this year is going to be the display. The Actua Display is getting another brightness boost to 3,000nits. That puts it on par with Apple’s Watch Ultra, and now Samsung’s new Galaxy Watch 8.
Google Pixel Watch 4 (41mm) Specs
| Display | Up to 3,000nits peak brightness, 320 ppi AMOLED LTPO, 1-60Hz |
| Processor | Qualcomm Snapdragon W5+ Gen 1 |
| Co-Processor | New M55 co-processor |
| Storage and RAM | 32GB eMMC flash, 2GB SDRAM |
| Battery | 325mAh |
| Software | Google Wear OS 6 |
Both watches get a new co-processor, which Google is calling the M55. It’s going to be able to handle 5x the AI workload at a fraction of the power. This is pretty important with Gemini coming to the Pixel Watch 4 (after launching on the Galaxy Watch 8).
Additionally, the larger batteries are also raising the estimated battery life on the Pixel Watch 4. Up to 30 hours with always-on display turned on, or 48 hours in battery saver mode for the 41mm model. The 45mm model jumps up to 40 hours with always-on display turned on and 72 hours in battery saver mode.
Another tidbit here is that Google is finally allowing side-charging for the Pixel Watch. So you can use it in a dock and have it charge on its side like a bedside clock overnight. Somewhat surprising that this functionality wasn’t already available.

- Gyroscope
- 3-axis accelerometer

As mentioned, the Pixel Watch 4 will be announced at a Made by Google event on August 20. Pre-orders are expected to launch that same day and start shipping around August 28. Making the Google Pixel Watch 4 release date August 28.
