Best Pixel Watch cases in 2024

The Pixel Watch is a small wearable, but it can still get dinged up if you aren't careful. These are the best cases to keep it safe.

Although Google unveiled a new Pixel Watch 2, many are still rocking the original Pixel Watch. It has a minimalist design and resembles traditional watches with a circular and slim form factor. In fact, it was one of the best smartwatches in 2023, even if it had a few first-generation flaws. Since the Pixel Watch is still a piece of tech, it can break just like your smartphone and other devices can. To keep it safe, you might want to add a protective case to your Pixel Watch.

The Google Pixel Watch was one of the best smartwatches available when it was first released in 2022. While it's been out for a little while, it still manages to be one of the sleekest Wear OS watches available. Perhaps even better is that it's packed with lots of great features, making it a perfect smartwatch for a first-timer.

Prime Big Deal Days came and went, but these Google Pixel deals are still (mostly) here. It's not the all-new Google Pixel 8 series or the Pixel Watch 2 that you'll find on sale, but you can save on a lot of other Pixel phones and other accessories. These aren't as deeply discounted as they were during Prime Day, but they're still fairly good deals. And now that Black Friday is upon us, you can look for discounts on Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart as well.

The Pixel Watch might not be the most advanced smartwatch on the market, but it's certainly a great-looking watch. Its clean and minimal design is enhanced by the 3D domed glass that seamlessly blends with the sleek stainless steel case to give it an aesthetically pleasing look. While we like the default silicone band, it's always nice to have a few additional options for variety.

Google Pixel Watch 2 vs Pixel Watch: Is there enough here to upgrade?

Google's latest Pixel Watch 2 is here, but it looks a lot like last year's original Pixel Watch. Should you upgrade or wait?

By 

Google, after purchasing wearable device maker Fitbit, unveiled its first original smartwatch last year with the Google Pixel Watch. A year later, the company announced the Pixel Watch 2, which aims to fix some of the problems with the original. It's true that Google did make significant improvements to this year's smartwatch, including better battery life and a much newer processor, and it could crack our best smartwatches list once we put it through our testing. Since the Pixel Watch 2 comes with some great Pixel 8 Pro bundles and is available at a lot of retailers, it might be worth upgrading to. However, that depends on what you're looking for and how much you're willing to spend.

When the Google Pixel Watch was released last October, it attempted to give the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 a run for its money by joining the Wear sphere with Wear OS 3.5 and a user-friendly design. Well, Samsung's Galaxy Watch 6 has now arrived, and with it comes Wear OS 4, alongside a few other upgrades.

Google got a late start in the mobile technology game, which might be surprising when you consider that it develops Android. The company's Google Pixel lineup of smartphones has just become a real threat to Apple and Samsung, starting in its sixth generation, and the Pixel brand is expanding with the Pixel Fold and the Pixel Watch. While these first-generation products are impressive for what they are, they leave much to be desired when compared to the competition.

As we close out summer, anticipations run high for the Pixel Watch 2, set to arrive sometime in the last quarter of the year. While the Pixel Watch was a great device, it had its shortcomings, like not offering great value and having lackluster battery life. But its successor could really turn things around, and despite hearing nothing officially from the folks at Google, over the past few months, we've been getting a steady stream of information, revealing its specifications and other details, which, if all comes true, could make it this year's best smartwatch. Now, the Pixel Watch 2 has been spotted on a Google Play Console listing, providing credence to the specifications leaked earlier this month.

For better or worse, I've been a fan of smartwatches since the Motorola Motoactv in 2011, and my interest hasn't stopped since. While I've dabbled with wearables on other platforms like Tizen OS with Samsung's watches, Zepp OS on Amazfit devices, and watchOS on the Apple Watch 7, there's something specifically about Google's Wear OS platform that continues to draw me back in.

How to enable and use fall detection on Pixel Watch

Although the Pixel Watch didn't ship with Fall Detection when it was first released, Google added it in a Pixel Feature Drop. Here's how to set it up.

By 

Google's first smartwatch, the Pixel Watch, is a solid first attempt for the company that fits into the Pixel ecosystem well. In part, it's more of a smarter Fitbit than an original product, which makes sense when you consider Google acquired Fitbit years ago. Surprisingly, despite being a health and fitness-centric smartwatch, the Pixel Watch didn't originally ship with Fall Detection. A feature that has become a staple on the best smartwatches in 2023, like the Apple Watch, Fall Detection uses inbuilt sensors to recognize when you've taken a hard fall and notify emergency services. It's not a feature you'll often use, but it could save your life when you need it most. Fall Detection is off by default, so here's how you can set it up.
