Pixel Watch 5 Unveils New Health Features and Upgraded Processor
Google has unveiled its new Pixel Watch 5, which comes with several health tracking features aimed at convincing customers to upgrade from their predecessor. The watch's hardware isn't much different from its predecessor, but Google has packed in a bunch of new features.
The Pixel Watch 5 can track blood pressure trends using the watch's sensors, providing a 'single contextualized insight' on the first of each month. Additionally, it can estimate insulin resistance and offer insights into metabolic health, which Google describes as a 'personal efficiency meter.'
Google has also introduced new Health Guardian features, allowing users to track their energy efficiency without needing needles or blood tests.
The watch's processor has been upgraded to a Qualcomm Snapdragon W5 Gen 2 Accelerated chip, providing a boost in processing power. Storage capacity has doubled compared to the previous model, with up to 64GB available.
