Google has officially launched the much-anticipated Pixel Watch 4, with pre-orders starting today and the official release set for October 9, 2025. The new Pixel Watch builds on the success of the Pixel Watch 3, offering a longer battery life, faster charging, and subtle design improvements, all while maintaining the same starting price of $349.
Design and Charging Upgrades
The Pixel Watch 4 retains much of the design ethos from the previous generation but introduces a practical change in charging. Unlike the Pixel Watch 3, which charges flat, the Pixel Watch 4 charges vertically via a side charger. This new design not only supports faster charging but allows the watch to be used as a nightstand clock, with the display visible while charging vertically—a feature some users will find very handy.
Battery Life Improvements
Google claims the Pixel Watch 4 offers 25% longer battery life compared to the Pixel Watch 3. The larger 45mm model can last up to 40 hours on a single charge—effectively providing two full days of usage depending on individual usage patterns and power-saving settings. This makes the Pixel Watch 4 highly competitive in the wearable market.
Software and Features
The Pixel Watch 4 runs on Wear OS 6, ensuring smooth operation and compatibility with a wide range of apps, similar to Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 8 series. Google continues to offer extended trials of Fitbit Premium and YouTube Premium for buyers, enhancing the health, fitness, and entertainment experience.
Pricing and Availability
The Pixel Watch 4 starts at $349.99 (Rs. 39,900) in India for the 41mm Wi-Fi model. The larger 45mm Wi-Fi variant is priced at Rs. 43,900. For now, Google is offering only Wi-Fi variants in India, unlike other markets where LTE models are also available.

With no price hike, longer battery life, faster and more convenient charging, and the familiar Wear OS 6 platform, the Pixel Watch 4 presents a compelling upgrade for current Pixel Watch owners and those new to Google’s wearable ecosystem. Launching alongside the Pixel 10 series, the Pixel Watch 4 further strengthens Google’s presence in the premium smartwatch market.
