Google brings many Pixel Watch 2 features to Pixel Watch [Wear OS]

Google officially announced the March 2024 Pixel Feature Drop. Apart from Pixel phones, Google is also bringing many advanced features from the Pixel Watch 2 to the first-gen Pixel Watch.
Following the March 2024 Feature Drop, Google Pixel Watch users will be able to track their workouts with even more options, Fitbit Relax app guides, and public transit directions.
Track your workouts with even more options
Thanks to the Pace Training feature, you can use your Pixel Watch to set a goal pace during an exercise to know when you are within your target, thanks to its built-in GPS and motion sensors.
If heart rate zones are your goal, you can now use Heart Zone Training on your first-gen Pixel Watch to monitor the time you spend in each heart rate zone, based on your resting heart rate and fitness levels.
- You can also set personal targets and turn on haptic notifications and voice alerts when you move from one heart rate zone to another.
- With a completely redesigned workouts UI, you can easily see your workout stats at a glance for pace and heart rate so you can stay focused and on track.
The update also brings auto-start and auto-stop to your first-gen Pixel Watch. Your Pixel Watch will now automatically start and stop your workouts directly from your wrist when it detects the activity.
Fitbit Relax
You can now use the Fitbit Relax app on the first-gen Pixel Watch to guide you through a breathing exercise right on your wrist. You can track how many moments of mindfulness you’ve completed over time directly through the app.

Google Discover now shows social media posts and Pixel Watch gets a useful phone feature

Google is updating some of its products with new features that make things more helpful for users. First, the Google Discover feed is now starting to show posts and accounts from social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter). Some users are seeing suggested posts from public figures, journalists, and creators directly in their Discover feed.
These posts appear as cards with the username, profile picture, and social media label. Google says it aims to make content more personalized and relevant. However, it looks like this feature is still being tested, and not everyone has it yet.
At the same time, Google is adding a small but helpful feature to the Pixel Watch. A new “Ring your phone” option has appeared in the Personal Safety app on Pixel phones. This lets users make their phone ring using the Pixel Watch, making it easier to find the phone if it’s lost nearby. The feature was spotted in version 2024.04.08.621107892.2 of the Personal Safety app and might roll out more widely soon.
These updates show how Google is continuing to connect its apps, devices, and services to make them work better together. Whether you’re looking for trending content or trying to find your phone, Google is making small changes that can make a big difference in daily use.

Android 16 beta 4 and April Pixel Watch update bring key improvements

Google just rolled out Android 16 Beta 4 for Pixel devices, and it’s all about fine-tuning. This new beta focuses on fixing bugs and improving how things work, rather than adding big new features. It brings a more polished experience for Pixel users who are testing the upcoming Android version.
One of the main fixes is for a problem where some apps would crash or freeze. Google also addressed an issue that caused the wallpaper and style settings to not load properly. These improvements should help make the system feel more stable and smooth overall.
At the same time, Google released the April 2025 update for Pixel Watch and Pixel Watch 2. This update mainly includes the latest security patches, keeping the smartwatches safe and secure. The build numbers are TWD9.240405.001 for the Pixel Watch and TWD9.240405.001.A1 for the Pixel Watch 2.
While the Pixel Watch update doesn’t bring new features, it’s important for security and performance. Google is expected to continue refining both Android 16 and Wear OS in the coming months, ahead of the stable releases.
If you’re using a Pixel device or a Pixel Watch, it’s a good idea to install these updates to get the latest fixes and protection. Keep an eye out for more improvements as Android 16 and Pixel Watch software continue to develop.
Big updates coming for Pixel Watch and Gemini AI

Google is bringing some exciting changes to its Pixel Watch and Gemini AI tools. Let’s break it down simply. First, the Pixel Watch is getting a fresh software boost with Wear OS 5.1. This update builds on the current version and promises a smoother, smarter experience. It’s based on Android 15, which means better battery life, faster performance, and new features for users.
Google hasn’t shared all the details yet, but whispers suggest improved health tracking and a cleaner look for the watch’s screen. The update is still in testing, so it might take a few months before everyone gets it. Pixel Watch fans should keep an eye out for news later this year!
Meanwhile, Gemini AI is stepping up its game with a new version called Gemini 2.5 Pro. This upgrade is all about “deep research,” meaning it can dig into complex topics and give detailed, helpful answers. Whether you’re asking about science, history, or something tricky, Gemini 2.5 Pro aims to be your go-to helper.
It’s smarter than before, with better reasoning skills and the ability to handle big questions. Google says this will make it a top choice for anyone needing clear, reliable info fast. Both updates show Google’s push to make its gadgets and AI even better. The Pixel Watch will feel snappier and more useful, while Gemini 2.5 Pro will tackle tougher tasks with ease. No exact release dates yet, but these changes are worth watching for. If you love tech that makes life simpler, Google’s got you covered with these upgrades!
