As it\u2019s rumoured, although unconfirmed, that the Pixel 10 collection will be revealed in August again, it\u2019s likely this is when the Pixel Watch 4 series will launch too.<\/p>\n<p>While we don\u2019t have any indications on an exact price, the Pixel Watch 3 launched with a starting RRP of \u00a3349 \/ $349 so we\u2019re thinking the Pixel Watch 4 might sport a similar price.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Pixel Watch 4 Design rumours<\/p>\n<p>Back in April, prolific gadget leaker <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/OnLeaks\/status\/1910649694167994871\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">OnLeaks<\/a> revealed the supposed render of the Pixel Watch 4. Sharing the findings with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.91mobiles.com\/hub\/google-pixel-watch-4-design-renders-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">91 Mobiles<\/a>, the Pixel Watch 4 looks pretty similar to its predecessor, with the same circular watch face and slim design.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"820\" height=\"461\" data-lazy-type=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Pixel-Watch-3-on-wrist-820x461.jpg\" alt=\"Google Pixel Watch 3 on wrist\" class=\"lazy lazy-hidden wp-image-4606496\"\/>Google Pixel Watch 3. Image Credit (Trusted Reviews)<\/p>\n<p>On closer inspection however, you\u2019ll notice some key differences. Firstly, the Pixel Watch 4 features two new buttons on the side of the watch, which the Pixel Watch 3 doesn\u2019t have. At the time of writing, we aren\u2019t sure what the function of these buttons are.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>91 Mobiles also notes that the Watch 4 is \u201csaid to be thicker\u201d at 14.3mm compared to the Wath 3\u2019s 12.3mm. It\u2019s believed this extra thickness is said to house a larger battery, which would be an impressive upgrade. <\/p>\n<p>\n        Advertisement    <\/p>\n<p>Although we found the Pixel Watch 3\u2019s battery to be an improvement on its predecessor and consistent, considering the likes of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trustedreviews.com\/reviews\/garmin-vivoactive-6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Garmin Vivoactive 6<\/a> can last up to 14 days, the Pixel Watch 4 could do with an improvement.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Pixel Watch 4 Smart Features and Software rumours<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps unsurprisingly, given Gemini is built into the Pixel 9 series,\u00a0 it\u2019s hotly anticipated that Google\u2019s AI chatbot and assistant will also be integrated into the upcoming Pixel Watch 6. <\/p>\n<p>As reported by <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/2025\/01\/06\/gemini-wear-os-prep\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">9to5 Google<\/a> back at the start of the year, it was discovered that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trustedreviews.com\/news\/android-show-android-16-wear-os-6-and-gemini\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Wear OS 6<\/a> beta, which should be found on the Watch 4, mentions Gemini within its code.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"820\" height=\"461\" data-lazy-type=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Wear-OS-6-820x461.jpg\" alt=\"Wear OS 6\" class=\"lazy lazy-hidden wp-image-821868\"\/>Wear OS 6 design. Image Credit: Google<\/p>\n<p>Pixel Watch 4 battery rumours<\/p>\n<p>As touched upon earlier, the Pixel Watch 4 is slightly thicker than its predecessor and it\u2019s strongly expected to mean the smartwatch will boast a larger battery. While the Pixel Watch 3 saw some improvement, and we found it could last for up to 48 hours on a single charge, it still undoubtedly falls short against its competitors.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\n        Advertisement    <\/p>\n<p>OnLeaks also suggests the Pixel Watch 4 is missing the four charging pins at its back, which could mean it might support wireless charging. While we don\u2019t know how fast its wireless charging is, we think it\u2019s always a good addition to have when you need to top up in a pinch.<\/p>\n<p>        Opinion<\/p>\n<p>Considering the Google Pixel Watch 3 saw much needed improvements from its predecessors, the Pixel Watch 4 should hopefully build upon this further. We\u2019d especially love to see the Pixel Watch 4 offer a longer battery life, especially as the Pixel Watch 3 still falls far behind similarly priced competitors.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The proposed inclusion of Gemini will also be a useful tool for receiving quick and easy answers while you\u2019re on the move too, and should be a welcome replacement for Google Assistant too.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>            <img class=\"lazy lazy-hidden\" decoding=\"async\" data-lazy-type=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/thumbnail_IMG_6608.jpg\" alt=\"Jessica Gorringe\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It may feel like only yesterday the Pixel Watch 3 was released, yet we\u2019re still looking forward to&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":242912,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3160],"tags":[1685,53,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-242911","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-gadgets","8":"tag-gadgets","9":"tag-technology","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114806819808936724","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/242911","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=242911"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/242911\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/242912"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=242911"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=242911"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=242911"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
