We do not choose a Google connected watch to “do everything”. We choose her so that she does what matters on a daily basis: to hold on to it, to follow health seriously, and react when it skids. 2025 promises to be a pivotal year for the Pixel Watch range: new emergency functions, reinforced respiratory monitoring, rising autonomy.

The real subject, therefore: should we wait for it "Pixel Watch 2025Or opt for a current model without regret?

This guide sorts between what is confirmed, what is expected, and what remains in the field of credible leaks. Objective: to help you decide knowingly, without unnecessary storytelling.

What changes in 2025: what to expect

Context note (Date of writing: August 8, 2025). Google must present its new Google Pixel Watch during the Made by Google event expected on August 20, 2025. Several improvements were widely mentioned by the specialized media; We present them as solid tracks, but not official as long as Google has not announced the product.

1) Processor and responsiveness

• Expected: a material base close to the previous generation, but with a more modern coprocessor to relieve AI and gain in efficiency. Some sources evoke the pursuit of the Snapdragon W5 Gen 1, supported by a Coprocessor type Cortex - M for fine management and autonomy. Others speak of an iteration W5 Gen 2. The stake is not raw power, but constant fluidity and outfit on 24–48 h.

• Software context: Wear OS 6 provides a better optimized base (more fluid animations, management of AODs and great -splan tasks) and up to 10 % additional autonomy on compatible models. The Gemini assistant also enters the wrist for more natural orders.

Concrete use: Start a session, dictate a note, pilot Google Home or launch a route, even when the watch has been running for 18 hours. If your priority is the feeling of “friction”, the OS 6 has more than the change of chip.

2) Autonomy: from all - day to all - weekend

• Expected: slightly larger batteries on the two sizes, more brightness but a more efficient AOD, and energy management revised; Some leaks evoke 36 h “realistic” and up to ~ 72 h in economics mode on the large model. Stay cautious: these figures depend on uses (GPS, LTE, SPO2, Music).

• What we already know: The Pixel Watch 3 formalized the two sizes (41 and 45 mm), a 2,000 nits screen more readable in the sun, reduced borders and a 24 -hour promise with AOD activated, with faster load. The 45 mm has a more substantial battery.

Concrete use: Leaving on Friday afternoon, coming back on Sunday evening without looking for a catch - is ambition. If you do daily GPS, table more on a day and a half.

3) Health: Cap on breathing and vital alert

• Confirmed (2024–2025): The Google Pixel Watch 3 introduced detection of pulse loss (Loss of Pulse Detection), first in Europe, then with a FDA clearance and a US deployment from March 2025. This function can trigger an emergency call if the watch detects an absence of pulse and you do not answer.

• Respiratory detection: Today, the Fitbit ecosystem already measures the nocturnal respiratory rate and displays the trend in the health app, alongside the spot, the skin temperature and the variability of the FC. This is not a diagnosis; It is a useful signal for identifying changes.

• Expected (2025): “Breathing Emergencies” on Pixel Watch 2025, that is to say, more continuous spo₂ surveillance with alert in the event of a dangerous fall in oxygenation. The idea: to go up a critical alert, potentially trigger help if the user does not respond, like loss of pulse. Caution: We are talking about supported leaks here (Apk Teardown and specialized press), not an official announcement.

Concrete use: Hotel night after a long flight, hiking at altitude, severe allergy: the alert on a saturation that dives, at the right time, can make the difference. This does not replace medical follow -up, but it is an additional sentry.

4) Emergencies: towards satellite communication… on the wrist

• Confirmed on the smartphone side: The Pixel 9 support the SOS satellite, with a guided questionnaire and a routing of emergency messages via satellite when there is neither cellular nor Wi -Fi. Google gradually extended coverage beyond the United States in early 2025.

• Wait on the watch side: An emergency “satellite communication” carried by the Pixel Watch 2025. Code analyzes suggest a specific integration to Pixel watches, possibly based on the nearby compatible phone. At this point, we are talking about emergency scenarios (SOS), not general satellite messaging.

Concrete use: Trail in white zone, ski touring, isolated route: if the watch knows how to initiate or relay a satellite sos without taking the phone out of the bag, we gain precious seconds. However, wait for official confirmation to find out if the shipment is done in total autonomy or via the smartphone.

5) Material, style, wrist posture

• Expected: same sizes (41 and 45 mm), edges still refined, increased brightness, and above all better repairability (change of battery/ease screen) and a new more stable load dock. These are daily life points: you will put the watch every evening, you may change the battery after two years. Better that it is simple.

• Already in place: UWB on Pixel Watch 3, to locate more finely and serve as a digital key. And a mature Google/Pixel integration: Nest, Maps in offline mode, camera control, etc.

What the current models already offer

Pixel Watch 3 (2024): the reliable base

See Pixel Watch 3 and Amazon reviews

• Two sizes, Actua 2,000 Nits screen, finer borders, 24 hours announced with AOD, loads 20 % faster. In health: ECG, arrhythmia notifications, spo₂, skin temperature, advanced metrics of fitbit, and detection of loss of pulse deployed in 2025 in the United States after Europe.

• Usage: in the office and in the room, it checks all the useful boxes without overplaying. For pure endurance, we monitor AOD and GPS. For everyday life, it is fluid and consistent with the Google ecosystem.

Wear OS 6: The real bonus 2025

• The bone alone brings better efficiency and a more “conversing” gemini. We are not talking about gadgets: a more readable IU, better structured tiles, complete media checks, a Credential Manager to identify without taking out the phone. Your current watch, so eligible, will be more pleasant.

Should we wait for the Pixel Watch 2025?

• Wait if ...

  • You often get out of networks (mountain, sea, neglected roads) and that emergency satellite communication speaks to you. The technical clues converge, but we await the announcement to find out the exact perimeter and the covered countries.
  • You want real -time respiratory alerts. The “Breathing Emergencies” trend is credible, and it usefully completes the loss of pulse.
  • You optimize autonomy above all. The leaks suggest a real better on the big size, combined with the Waar OS 6 gains.

• Buy now if ...

  • You want a stable Google connected watch today, with already rich health follow -up and proven emergency functions (fall, accident, SOS, loss of pulse on Watch 3).
  • You have a fine wrist or a clean style: the Pixel Watch 3 in 41 mm remains one of the most discreet and dressed watches in the Android world.
  • Your budget is framed: Watch 3 is often on promotion when approaching a new generation, without sacrificing the essentials. (Check the current offers at [nom du site ou de la marque].)

Which model to choose in the meantime?

• Pixel Watch 3, 41 mm, Wi -Fi/Bluetooth: for urban, discreet use, with daily load. “Reason” choice.
• Pixel Watch 3, 45 mm, LTE: For those who want more screen, a more capacity battery and a room for maneuver in mobility (music, calls without phone). “Comfort” choice.

Usage tip: Activate smart saving profiles (AOD refined, Sleeping Auto detection, Dynamic GPS). Real gain often exceeds marketing announcements.

Concrete use case

• Daily health: you sleep with the watch; When you wake up, the “Health Metrics” tile displays Breathing, HRV, SPO₂, RHR and temperature trend. You spot the differences, not to diagnose yourself, but to adjust training and recovery.
• Safety: you fall by bike, the Watch question, vibrates, and if you do not answer, it contacts the emergency services. If the loss of pulse is detected (Watch 3), the watch triggers an alert protocol. These seconds count.
• Outdoor: if you have a pixel 9, the sos satellite already exists at the smartphone. Ultimately, the watch could initiate or relay the alert; We await the formalization on the watch side to know the exact mechanics.

Purchasing experience

• Passage of wrist: measure precisely. Below 16 cm, the 41 mm falls better. Beyond 17.5 cm, the 45 mm breathes more.
• Bracelets: A smooth FKM for training, a grained leather for the day, a woven nylon for ultra -light. Alternating is to extend the lifespan of each bracelet.
• Version: Wi -fi/Bluetooth for simplicity, LTE if you run without a phone. Check operator compatibility in France.
• Checks at reception: brightness in the sun, readability of your favorite complications, night comfort on the wrist.
• Updates: immediately install Wear OS and Fitbit up to date, then activate the safety functions (fall, loss of pulse on Watch 3, position sharing).
• Services: Offer the pairing in stores, the resumption of the old model, and a session of “sleep + sport” settings of 15 minutes. This is what makes the difference.

Fast verdict

• If your priorities are called breathing, satellite and autonomy, wait until August 20. Signals are sufficiently convergent to justify the expectation.
• If you want a solid and consistent Google connected watch today, the Pixel Watch 3 is a clear choice, especially if you find a good offer. Updates 2025 (bone and health) still strengthen it.
