It’s been about 2 months since the Galaxy Watch 8 and Watch 8 Classic were made available, and having used the Classic edition nonstop for that amount of time, I can tell you: it’s rare for me to like a smartwatch this much. When the Pixel Watch 4 comes out, it will need to make some serious noise to top it.
Welcome to episode 2 of The Sideload, a podcast by NewGeekGuide. This week, Will is joined by Noah Dentzel, CEO and co-founder of Nomad, and Harvey Hunerberg, Associate Director of Product Management at Nomad, to discuss their company’s new expansion into Pixel accessories, beginning with Pixel Watch straps. From the decision to launch accessories for Pixel after primarily focusing on the Apple ecosystem to how tariffs affect companies like Nomad, it’s a pretty fun — if in-depth — conversation. Plus, Will gets to nerd out on just how excited he is for a Qi2-dominant world, and we get a quick tease for what could be next from Nomad.
The Pixelated crew reassembles after an absolutely exhausting week covering Made By Google. Abner, Damien, and Will break down Google’s wild swing at this year’s event, featuring countless celebrity cameos alongside a musical performance, all hosted by Jimmy Fallon. After talking through all of Google’s various new devices, they also touch on the surprise release of Android 16 QPR2 Beta 1, that blink-and-you-miss-it look at new smart speaker hardware, and deliver a quick tease for the next NewGeekGuide podcast.
One of the long-awaited changes with the Pixel Watch 4 is that, finally, the smartwatch can actually be repaired. In an interview, Google details how that was made possible, and is also teasing that more third-party chargers are in the pipeline.
One of the distinct new elements of the Pixel Watch 4 is its new charging dock, which also has new charging contacts found on the side of the watch. These exposed “pins” disrupt the look we’ve been used to for a while, but they’re not nearly as bad in person as I had personally feared. Here’s a quick look at what they look like on each color variant of the Pixel Watch 4.
The Pixel Watch 4 is finally here — or, well, it will be, once its October shipping date finally rolls around. It sure seems like the wait’s going to be worth it, though. With a bigger, brighter display, improved battery life, and plenty of improvements to fitness tracking, it’s shaping up to be a must-buy for older Pixel Watch owners, and that means you’ll want to get the most bang for your buck on a trade-in.
Google’s new Pixel Watch 4 comes with a newly designed charging dock for faster top-ups, and it will warn you when you aren’t getting the power needed.
Nomad, a brand perhaps best know for its various premium iPhone and Apple Watch accessories, has dabbled in Pixel accessories in the past, but is now expanding with the debut of one of the first real leather bands for Pixel Watch and I’ve had the pleasure of trying one out over the past few months.
Google’s Pixel Watch 4 is finally official, and while wearable fans might feel stressed about its October launch date, those hardware improvements seem well worth it. But with a new charging dock comes the need for additional chargers, and depending on what you want to buy for your next smartwatch, you should probably start saving up.
At Made by Google 2025, Google announced the Pixel Watch 4. While it looks the same, there are significant hardware changes that actually make this a sizable update. I’d go as far as saying that this is the biggest hardware upgrade of all the products unveiled today, but you’ll only notice the changes in person.
This year, Google announced everything about the Pixel 10, Pixel Watch 4, and Pixel Buds 2a before the actual Made by Google 2025 presentation gets underway in one hour with a number of special guests.
The Pixel Watch 4 is set to introduce a brand new charger – the third one in four generations of Google’s smartwatch – and while it really seems like the pros outweigh the cons here, I’m dreading a couple of small things.
The latest Pixel Watch 4 leak comes from marketing materials that tout Google’s upcoming wearable as having “significant technological advancements over its predecessors,” while we get a better look at the charging system.
Welcome to episode 65 of Pixelated, a podcast by NewGeekGuide. This week, Damien, Abner, and Will take a break from talking about the endless onslaught of Pixel 10 renders to take in a more zoomed-out look at Google’s current ecosystem. As the company starts advertising the Pixel 10 series, new reports suggest we might be waiting a few months for the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, Pixel Watch 4, and the Pixel Buds 2a. Meanwhile, the company’s decision to stop selling refurbished Pixel 6a models has us thinking about hardware longevity compared to software longevity, and how the two sometimes collide in unexpected ways.
The latest round of Pixel 10 series and Pixel Watch 4 leaks come in the form of promo videos about the design. Again, it’s mostly the same, but there are some visible tweaks.
The Pixel Watch 4 may have leaked multiple times already, but some high-quality renders show us all the details of the upcoming wearable in every color variant and from even more unseen angles.
According to a new report, a portion of the new devices Google will be launching later this month won’t actually arrive in the hands of customers until October, including Pixel Watch 4 and Pixel 10 Pro Fold.
Welcome to episode 64 of Pixelated, a podcast by NewGeekGuide. This week, Abner and Will make up for Damien’s absence by discussing the latest crop of Pixel leaks, including US pricing for the phones and watch that seemingly avoids tariff-mania. It’s not just prices, though — a new “Pixelsnap” leak all but confirms the native Qi2 support we’ve been begging for for years, while a new Pixel Buds 2a leak points towards a pretty familiar set of earbuds.
The Pixel Watch 4 seems like your run-of-the-mill smartwatch update, but it’s also introducing the third new charging system in Google’s mere four generations of smartwatch. The new Pixel Watch 4 charger looks just fine, but I’m pretty worried about the charging pins that we’ve yet to see.
Welcome to episode 63 of Pixelated, a podcast by NewGeekGuide. This week, the Pixel leaks start comin’ and they don’t stop comin’, as we break down the massive amount of Pixel 10 and Pixel Watch 4 leaks that continue to fall into our lap. Come for the conversation on which colors are doing it for us — and which aren’t — and stay for the breakdown on why the Pixel 10 series just might arrive with Qi2 built-in. Plus, what’s the deal with foldables, and is the Pixel Watch 4’s new charger ridiculous, or ridiculously awesome?
