The latest update bearing version number 3.65 has a new reminder text for the Pixel Watch. If the option is selected, the app will issue a reminder to charge your watch. The text reads, “Get a notification before your bedtime goal if your Pixel Watch battery is too low to track a night’s sleep.”
According to the report, the Fitbit app suggests that the watch should be charged to at least 30 percent for it to track a full night’s sleep. If you do the math, considering eight hours of sleep, the battery can be estimated to last for a total of 24 hours.
To compare, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 reportedly offers a battery life of up to 50 hours. The Pixel Watch will likely have a similar battery life as that of the Apple Watch. With Garmin and Samsung offering longer battery life for their smartwatches, the Pixel Watch could face stiff competition in the market.
Although Google now owns Fitbit, there’s no word on how the Fitbit app will support the Pixel Watch. There is some speculation suggesting that the search giant is planning to release a new Pixel Watch app.
