Google shows off Pixel Watch

Google finally unveiled its first smartwatch last week, expanding its competition with Apple, said Lisa Eadicicco in CNET. The long-awaited Pixel Watch, due to arrive this fall, boasts “a domed circular design” and will include popular Google apps like Maps, Wallet, and Google Assistant. It will also integrate some “familiar Fitbit health-tracking features” as well, including sleep and heart rate, and users will be able to sync data between the watch and a Fitbit account. The watch will run Google’s Wear OS software, which already powers wearables from Fossil and Samsung. With the new addition, Google now has “a full ecosystem of products similar to those offered by Apple and Samsung.”
