Buying decision

Should you buy it?

Buy the Pixel Watch 5 if you have an Android phone and want the best Pixel and Fitbit experience: it comes in 41mm and 45mm, reviewers measured more than two days of battery, and its dual-frequency GPS is very accurate. Gemini health coaching and fast charging round it out. Skip it if you want a rugged watch, since reviewers found it less durable than rivals, or if you hate paywalls, because some fitness advice needs Fitbit Premium. Several features were missing at launch, and it doesn't work with iPhones.

Best for

Android users, especially Pixel owners, who want accurate tracking, Gemini and two-day battery.

Not for

iPhone users and anyone who needs a rugged outdoor watch.
