However, if you look closely, it does become noticeable when using certain apps and features. The mostly black backdrop of Google's Wear OS and the Pixel Watch's rounded edges make it hard to notice where the screen ends and the bezel begins. Smartwatches are designed for quick glances - not long interactions - and I barely notice the bezels in everyday use when taking a quick look down at my wrist. But I don't think they're as big of a deal as they're being made out to be. After using the Pixel Watch for a couple of days, I can confirm they certainly do exist. If you've been reading about the Pixel Watch ahead of its debut, you've probably heard about the so-called "fat" bezels. I personally don't mind that since I have a smaller wrist, but I imagine that may not suit everyone. And unlike the Apple Watch and Galaxy Watch 5, the Pixel Watch only comes in one 41-millimeter size. However, scrolling with the Pixel Watch's crown doesn't feel quite as fluid and smooth as doing so with the Apple Watch's digital crown. The active watch band that came with my Pixel Watch feels almost identical to the Apple Watch's included sport band. Everything from the Pixel Watch's crown - which doubles as a button and a scroll wheel just like on the Apple Watch - to the quality of the bands and the premium casing around the watch itself just screams Apple Watch. Google's Pixel Watch has a premium design that rivals the Apple Watch.Įven though the Apple Watch has a squircle-shaped display and lacks the Pixel Watch's domed glass, I couldn't help but draw comparisons between the two. While some may prefer that look, I'd rather wear something sleeker that feels comfortable to have on my wrist during workouts and overnight. I appreciate that Google was able to develop a minimalist watch that also feels stylish, considering most fashion-forward watches, such as those from Michael Kors, have a chunky look that mimics the aesthetic of analog watches. Luckily, the Pixel Watch accomplishes this with curved glass edges that give it a striking look that stands out from most competing smartwatches. Anything you plan to wear all day needs to look good. Looks may not always be a top factor when it comes to tech products, but smartwatches are the exception.

Pixel Watch design: A cut above most Android smartwatches
And despite its deep integration with Fitbit, the Pixel Watch is missing some useful health features, including the ability to automatically start a workout from your wrist. The battery life could be better, for example. But that doesn't mean I don't have my complaints.

I've only been using the Pixel Watch for a few days, but I'm already impressed with its sharp looks, smooth software and wide variety of apps. But Samsung's watch requires a Galaxy device to access certain features, and its design isn't quite as polished.

Samsung's Galaxy Watch series has been the closest Apple Watch alternative yet, and it does have some extra health tracking functionality that's missing from the Pixel Watch.

The Apple Watch does all of these things well, and now the Pixel Watch promises to do the same for Android users. Many of these devices also tend to lean more closely into fitness or fashion, and they struggle to package a good balance of both while serving as a viable phone companion. Smartwatches from some of these brands are also iPhone-compatible, meaning there haven't been many options designed specifically for the Android crowd. Let me explain what I mean by "Apple Watch alternative." As is the case with the Android phone landscape, the market for Android-compatible smartwatches encompasses watches from many different brands, including Samsung, Fitbit (which is now part of Google), Michael Kors, Fossil and Garmin among others.
