Google Pixel Watch

What the Google Pixel Watch app does

Google Pixel Watch connects a Pixel Watch to an Android phone and provides the main place to manage the wearable. It handles watch setup, settings, appearance and the way phone alerts are shown on your wrist. The app is designed for people who own a Google Pixel Watch and want to control it without digging through menus on the smaller watch display.

Useful controls in one place

You can choose and arrange watch faces, including the information shown on them, and organise tiles for quick access to commonly used tools. Notification settings let you decide which phone apps can alert the watch, which is useful if you want important messages without sending every phone notification to your wrist.

The app also brings together parts of the Google watch experience, including Google Assistant and Google Wallet setup. For compatible LTE models, it supports mobile service configuration so the watch can stay connected beyond the range of the paired phone.

Who it suits

This is a companion app rather than a general communication client. Its value depends on having a Google Pixel Watch: without one, there is little reason to use it. Pixel Watch owners will find it most useful when adjusting the watch after setup, changing its layout, or reducing unwanted alerts.
