A new Pixel Watch is hitting the shelves right in time for marathon season. Google unveiled the Pixel Watch 4 at its annual Made By Google event in New York on Wednesday.
The watch comes packed with several upgrades that rival its predecessor, like a revamped Fitbit experience, updates to Gemini, and a brighter display. Retailing at $350 for the 41mm and $400 for the 45mm, the smartwatch is available for preorder now and ships October 9.
