Googlewill reveal its first own-brand smartwatch, called thePixel Watch, alongside the newPixel 7smartphone family, later this year.
Although that autumn launch is still a little while away, information about the upcoming wearable is starting to leak out. The latest tidbit of information concerns battery life and outlines the device’s support forFitbithealth-tracking features.
A message intended for futurePixel Watchowners to read states: “Get a notification before your bedtime goal if your Pixel Watch battery is too low to track a night’s sleep.”
This in itself is a useful feature for a smartwatch to have, as battery life of most models often struggles to reach 24 hours, making sleep tracking tricky. TheApple Watch, for example, has a quoted battery life of 18 hours, meaning users need to give the battery a daily top-up to ensure it can last all day, then track sleep right through the night.
The software also includes an example of what a notification will look like, stating: “Time to charge your watch. You’ll need at least 30% charge to track a full night’s sleep.”

This is a decent amount for a fully-fledged smartwatch, especially given those eight hours of sleep tracking will likely have the heart rate monitor constantly running, and potentially using more battery than during other parts of the day.
