At the Made by Google 2025 event, Google has once again pushed the boundaries of technology, showcasing how the best of Google AI is making the Pixel portfolio more personalized and proactive than ever before. This year’s lineup, including the new Pixel Buds 2a and Pixel Watch 4, demonstrates Google’s vision of devices that anticipate your needs and simplify your life, all powered by the latest cutting-edge Google AI, including Gemini.
Let’s dive into what makes these new devices game-changers for your daily tech experience.
Pixel Watch 4: Your Health and Connectivity, Reimagined
The Pixel Watch 4 represents Google’s biggest update to its smartwatch line, boasting a complete redesign to help you live healthier, stay connected, and get ahead of your day.
The iconic circular shape of the Pixel Watch remains, but with significant enhancements. The new Pixel Watch 4 features a first-of-its-kind domed Actua 360 display, physically curved to offer a 10% larger active area and an edgeless appearance with 16% smaller bezels. This display is also 50% brighter at 3000 nits, ensuring clear visibility even in direct sunlight. Material 3 Expressive brings the display to life with richer colors and dynamic clock faces, complemented by a 15% stronger custom haptic engine and an upgraded custom speaker for delightful interactions with Gemini.
Under the hood, it runs on the Snapdragon® W5 Gen 2 Wearable Platform and a next-gen ML-powered co-processor, delivering 25% faster performance at half the power. The watch is built with durable custom Corning Gorilla Glass, aerospace-grade aluminum housing, and is water-resistant up to 50 meters. For the first time, it’s also serviceable with replaceable battery and display.
Longer Battery Life and Faster Charging
You can expect the longest-lasting battery on a Pixel Watch yet, with up to 30 hours on the 41mm model and 40 hours on the 45mm model. Activating Battery Saver mode can extend this to two or three days respectively. When you do need to charge, the Quick Charge Dock gets you from 0-50% in just 15 minutes, 25% faster than previous models.
Advanced Health and Fitness Capabilities
The Pixel Watch 4 offers Google’s most comprehensive and accurate health and fitness tracking to date. It features smarter sleep tracking, 18% more accurate at classifying your complete sleep cycle using new advanced machine learning models. An enhanced Skin Temperature sensor helps detect changes in your wellbeing, such as when you might be falling ill. For outdoor activities, new dual-frequency GPS provides the most accurate route tracking even in challenging environments like city runs or dense hikes. Cyclists will appreciate real-time streaming of metrics from their wrist to the Fitbit app, displayed on their handlebars. With over 50 exercise options, including new modes like pickleball and basketball, there’s something for everyone. Plus, AI automatically detects and classifies activities even if you forget to start a workout, sending you a recap so you never miss your stats.
Personal AI Health Coach
A significant new feature is the personal AI health coach, built with Gemini, coming to Fitbit Premium users. This coach acts as a fitness trainer, sleep coach, and health advisor, constantly adapting to your personal health metrics and tailored to your goals. It creates custom routines based on your preferences, adjusts workout plans based on real-time data, and offers advice when life intervenes. For sleep, new advanced algorithms provide precise understanding of sleep duration and stages, spotting patterns and giving insights to improve sleep quality.
The coach provides a holistic view of your health, answering questions, offering suggestions, and proactively sharing trends, all while integrating data from your Pixel Watch, Fitbit, and other health apps like Health Connect and HealthKit. A preview of this coach will roll out to eligible adult Fitbit Premium users in the U.S. in October within a redesigned Fitbit app.
Satellite Communications and On-wrist AI
The Pixel Watch 4 LTE is the first smartwatch ever to support standalone emergency satellite communications, allowing you to connect to emergency services even off-grid. On-device AI capabilities enhance communication with features like Smart Replies, offering AI-powered responses tailored to your conversation. And with “Raise to Talk,” Gemini, your on-wrist AI assistant, is just a flick of the wrist away, ready to assist hands-free.

The Pixel Watch 4 is available for preorder now and will hit shelves starting October 9.

Pixel Buds 2a: Smart Sound, Exceptional Value
Introducing the Pixel Buds 2a, the newest member of the Pixel Buds family, offering a premium experience at an exceptional value. These buds combine comfortable design, impressive sound, and the helpfulness of Gemini.
Comfortable Design and Durability
The Pixel Buds 2a are smaller and lighter than the A-series, designed for a comfortable and secure fit, inspired by the Pixel Buds Pro 2. They feature a twist-to-adjust stabilizer and four eartips to ensure your perfect fit. With an IP54 sweat and water resistance rating, they’re ready for your runs, rain or shine. They come in two stylish colors, Iris and Hazel, to complement your Pixel devices and personal style.
Impressive Sound Powered by Tensor A1
At the core of the Pixel Buds 2a is the Tensor A1 chip, purpose-built for audio processing. This enables Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) with Silent Seal 1.5, a first for Google’s A-series buds. A custom-designed speaker driver and new high-frequency chamber ensure incredible sound for music and podcasts. Wind-blocking mesh covers and Google AI provide clear call quality for both you and your caller.
You’ll also get twice the listening time of the first-generation Pixel Buds A-series with noise cancellation off, and 7 hours with ANC on, extending to 20 hours total with the charging case. For the first time, these Pixel Buds are built to last with a replaceable case battery.
Hands-free Help from Gemini
The Pixel Buds 2a come with Gemini, your new smart companion. With hands-free AI assistance, you can get things done, summarize messages, and even ask for coffee recommendations without ever taking out your phone. Simply say, “Hey Google” or customize press-and-hold gestures to access your digital assistant.
Seamless Connectivity with Your Pixel Phone
These new buds are designed to perfectly complement your Pixel phone. Enjoy seamless switching between devices with Multipoint, connecting to multiple devices simultaneously, or quickly pair with Fast Pair for productivity on the go. And if your buds ever go missing, Find Hub helps you locate them precisely on a map, or even ring them when you’re nearby.
Availability
The Pixel Buds 2a are available for preorder today for $129 and will be on shelves at the Google Store and retail partners on October 9.
The Power of AI Across Your Pixel Ecosystem
Both the Pixel Watch 4 and Pixel Buds 2a are deeply integrated into Google’s AI-first ecosystem. The advancements showcased at Made by Google 2025, including the powerful Tensor G5 chip in Pixel phones and the enhancements to Gemini Live, highlight a shift in how technology works for you. Gemini Live is now more visually aware, more expressive, and deeply integrated with more of your Google apps. It offers on-screen visual guidance by highlighting solutions directly on your screen when you share your camera, making problem-solving incredibly intuitive. Furthermore, Gemini Live connects to apps like Google Calendar, Keep, and Tasks, allowing you to manage your schedule, create lists, and even make calls or send messages seamlessly through voice commands. The vision extends to the home with Gemini for Home, replacing Google Assistant on existing speakers and displays, offering more powerful controls and personalized assistance for your household. This means your entire Pixel ecosystem is working together, anticipating your needs and providing proactive help.
