The Google Pixel Watch features a circular display with curved glass protection that gives it a domed design. It has a stainless steel build and a tactile crown. The Pixel Watch also comes with interchangeable wrist bands that can be customised. On the software front, Google claims that the Pixel Watch features a new Wear OS UI with improved navigation and smart notifications.

The Pixel Watch will also provide continuous heart rate and sleep tracking. When working out, users can see their active zone minutes and track their statistics and progress toward various fitness goals.
Google Pixel Buds Pro specifications
The Google Pixel Buds Pro features active noise cancellation (ANC), which uses a new silent seal technology. The new earbuds support ANC. A transparency mode on the Pixel Buds Pro allows users to hear ambient sound.

Users can also use Find My Device to track down their Pixel Buds Pro if they misplace them.
To compete with Apple’s AirPods Pro, Google has promised to update the Pixel Buds Pro later this year with spatial audio support.

The Pixel Buds Pro offers a hands-free Google Assistant experience. It can also be used to translate in 40 languages or ask the Assistant for walking directions.
