Best Pixel Watch cases in 2023
The Pixel Watch is a small wearable, but it can still get dinged up if you aren't careful. These are the best cases to keep it safe.
Google's Pixel Watch joined the growing Pixel ecosystem last year, and it's a great watch for fans of the company's products and services. It has a minimalist design and looks a lot like traditional watches with a circular and slim form factor. In fact, it's one of the best smartwatches in 2023, even if it has a few first-generation flaws. Since the Pixel Watch is still a piece of tech, it can break just like your smartphone and other devices can. To keep it safe, you might want to add a protective case to your Pixel Watch.
I am so finished waiting for Android to catch up to Apple's health and wellness efforts
Hey Google, are you even trying to step up?
Apple's annual WWDC keynote this year was packed with a ton of exciting announcements, and it's safe to say that it did not disappoint. In addition to the new Vision Pro mixed-reality headset, Apple also previewed the new version of iOS, which, as is usually the case, sparked the not-so-friendly iOS vs. Android debate. Anybody who follows the post-keynote conversation on social media after an Apple, Samsung, or Google event knows what I'm talking about, right? Everybody has an opinion on which OS is falling behind the other.
Pixel Watch learns a new trick by borrowing At a Glance feature from Pixel phones
Now you can see more on your wrist at a glance.
It looks like the Pixel Watch is getting a nice update that brings the At a Glance feature from Pixel phones in the form of a complication. This update is separate from the Feature Drop for June that was released recently and looks to be a server-side update that was pushed to the device over the past few days. While it doesn't offer a ton of information at a glance for now, it's more than there was before, and there's always room for improvement in the future.
Google Pixel Watch 2: Leaks, rumors, and what we know so far
The Pixel Watch had a lot of potential, but there's a lot Google can do to make the Pixel Watch 2 a competitive smartwatch option.
The Pixel Watch was a fair first attempt at a smartwatch from Google. It made it onto our favorite smartwatches list because it left a strong impression that made us cautiously optimistic about the next iteration, not because it was perfect. Assuming Google doesn't prematurely kill the Pixel Watch (highly unlikely), the Pixel Watch 2 could very well be the Apple Watch of Android that we always wanted.

We have rounded up the best Pixel Watch bands to help you find the one that speaks to you.

While we did like the included silicone band in our review of the Pixel Watch, it's always nice to have a few additional options for variety.

Mobvoi TicWatch Pro 5 vs. Google Pixel Watch: Which is the best Wear OS smartwatch?
Google entered the smartwatch game at last with the Pixel Watch, but does Mobvoi's experience propel the TicWatch Pro 5 ahead?
Wear OS smartwatches have had their ups and downs, routinely falling short of the Apple Watch due to meager software support and integration. That changed when Google planned to unveil the Pixel Watch, intent on developing Wear OS for that product, in a move that benefited every smartwatch manufacturer out there. Now that Mobvoi's latest TicWatch Pro 5 is out, does it compare to Google's Pixel Watch? Though the latter has the growing Pixel brand behind it and offers a stock Wear OS experience, that might not be enough for it to overcome Mobvoi's experience in the smartwatch industry.

Do smartwatches even need apps to succeed in the wearable space?
Apps on smartwatches are great, but a complete app store is unnecessary. There is a wide world of wearables that can prove it if given a chance.
Smartwatches and fitness trackers have become very popular in large part to the excellent Apple Watch and Fitbit. For many years, those on the Android side have largely been picking between Fitbits, Wear OS smartwatches, or a Tizen-based watch like the Samsung Galaxy Watch. That choice became a bit less convoluted when Samsung and Google paired up for Wear OS 3. Even so, the most common wearables in the U.S. are Apple Watches, Wear OS watches, most likely from Samsung, and Fitbits.
