Yes, comparisons are hateful, but just one day after the launch of Google’s new Pixel Watch, they wanted to check their screen sizes and sensors on the same wrist.
This Thursday, at the Made by Google event, the company will launch its latest Google Pixel devices, including the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro. But perhaps the most anticipated launch is the Google Pixel Watch, the first smartwatch “built by Google, inside and out”. This is why a certain rivalry has arisen that pits the Pixel Watch vs Apple Watch.
With the recent release of the Apple Watch Series 8, the following question arises: will it be worth the wait for the new Google watch? Will it be a real rival? and, although it seems that it is something that we will not be able to know until tomorrow, the numerous leaks and tests that some media have already been able to carry out, allow us to open our mouths.
And it is that, the last thing that has been released is these two Smart Watches compared on the same wrist to be able to see the differences in size, as well as the rear sensors.
Daniel Petrov, from PhoneArena, has been the journalist who has faced these two smart watches, showing us, on an aesthetic level, some of their characteristics. Note that it has been compared to the smallest Apple model, 41 mm.
Pixel Watch vs Apple Watch, comparison of sizes and rear sensors
In the images that he shows us, a quite elegant and simple smartwatch (Google) can be seen with the naked eye and Petrov corroborates that we are facing a fairly thin watch next to the Apple Watch, that despite being the smallest of the series (41mm), looks a lot rougher than Google’s. The same goes for the rear sensor, much more concise and fine in the case of the Pixel.
On the other hand, and speaking of the straps that we can see on his wrist, he claims that Google’s includes two. The small band is for slimmer wrists that are between 130 and 175mm in circumference, while the longer band on the Pixel Watch would be for larger wrists, around 165 and 210mm.

“The Pixel Watch helps complete Google’s ecosystem of products and services and finally allows them to take on Apple, Samsung and other competitors”explains Jitesh Ubrani, director of research at IDC.
With all this on the table and if the wearables google-pixel is used in the same way to showcase the potential of Wear OS (Google’s WearOS 3.5) as smartphones, could become an interesting competitor to the Apple Watch, although Google’s offering will certainly have to catch up in terms of features.
As reported by some media such as ZDnet, the possible Achilles heel of the new wearable google-pixel It will probably be the distribution, since its presence, still quite small in the United States and in the world, for now, is unbeatable to the brand established by the Apple Watch. Despite all this, it will be very interesting from Computer Today to make a future comparison Pixel Watch vs Apple Watch.
