Two schools. On the left, an Android watch that muscles its autonomy, opens with SOS by satellite and assumes AI on the wrist. On the right, the Apple Watch Series 10, finer, more readable, and above all more clinical in its health alerts.

The Pixel Watch 4 refines its iconic circular drawing: "Actua 360" screen slightly curved, reduced edges by 16 %, peak brightness at 3,000 nits. Concrete translation: a slab readable in full sun and more expressive dials.
