Google Pixel Watch 5 Review: Improved Battery Life and Smarter Gemini AI
The Google Pixel Watch 5 is an upgrade to its predecessor in many areas. Starting at ₹42,900 for the 41mm band and ₹45,900 for the 45mm band, it offers improved battery life, a brighter display, and enhanced GPS accuracy.
The watch's design remains familiar, with a rounded case and crown at the 3 o'clock position. However, the lack of sapphire crystal is a notable omission compared to the Samsung Galaxy Watch 9.
Gemini AI has been improved, allowing for basic tasks to be performed on the watch without requiring a phone or internet connection. This makes the Pixel Watch 5 feel more independent and capable.
Battery life has been significantly improved, with Google claiming up to 30 hours of regular use. In practice, I was able to get around two-and-a-half to three days between charges.
