Google is gearing up for a major hardware event on August 20, 2025, and the upcoming launch of the Pixel Watch 4 is creating plenty of buzz. A recent leak has given consumers a clearer picture of what to expect—especially those interested in the cellular versions. Here’s everything you need to know about the new pricing, features, and what makes this generation especially appealing for smartwatch fans.
Pixel Watch 4 Pricing: A Pleasant Surprise
A leak from Android Headlines reveals the expected prices for the new Pixel Watch 4 lineup in the United States:
- 41mm Pixel Watch 4 (Wi-Fi): $349
- 45mm Pixel Watch 4 (Wi-Fi): $399
- Cellular/LTE option: Add $50 to either Wi-Fi model
This is particularly notable because, while the previous Pixel Watch 3 saw a $100 jump from Wi-Fi to LTE models, the Watch 4 cuts that difference back down to $50. This means cellular fans can enjoy connectivity without facing a steep premium.
Key Features & Upgrades
While Google isn’t radically changing the physical design or processor (expect similar looks and performance as the Watch 3), the Pixel Watch 4 introduces meaningful upgrades:
- Larger batteries for extended use
- Satellite connectivity for emergency situations
- Repair-friendly construction aimed at easier maintenance and longer product life
- Charging speed boost: The new charger is reportedly 25% faster than last year’s, reaching 50% charge in just 15 minutes or 80% in 30 minutes—making those quick top-ups extremely convenient
- Potential “side-charging” feature, though opinions are divided among early watchers
Bundled Perks
With the purchase of a Pixel Watch 4, buyers can look forward to extra value-added services:
- 1 free month of YouTube Premium
- 6 months of Fitbit Premium
What’s Not Changing
- Processor and core design remain similar to last year’s model.
- No major hardware freebies like extra straps are expected, though service bundles help provide additional value.
- No drastic price increases—the Watch 4 remains in the same range as the Watch 3, making it easier for existing users to upgrade.
The Pixel Watch 4 looks set to be a well-rounded successor: keeping fan-favorite features while making notable improvements in battery life, connectivity, and especially price accessibility for cellular models. Fast charging, extra service subscriptions, and potential satellite connectivity further add to its appeal. Stay tuned for more details at Google’s August 20 event, where the spotlight will also fall on the new Pixel 10 line and other ecosystem devices.
For those who’ve been waiting for a more affordable LTE experience in Google’s wearable lineup, the Pixel Watch 4 might be the smart buy of the season.
