- The Pixel Watch 4 is the first smartwatch to be sold in the US with standalone satellite SOS features.
- The emergency SOS service works in tandem with Google’s preexisting car crash and fall detection features.
- The feature is free to use, but requires an LTE variant of the Pixel Watch 4.
The Pixel Watch 4 may look very similar to the last generation, but it packs enormous upgrades. It comes with a new chipset, a bigger and brighter display, improved battery life, and finally supports repairs. Along with these, Google is adding a crucial life-saving feature to the Pixel Watch 4 that’s not even available on the Apple Watch — or any other smartwatch sold in the US, for that matter.
The Pixel Watch 4 is the first smartwatch from Google to support SOS communications through satellite connectivity, which will allow you to seek help in cases of emergency, even without any network coverage. In fact, the Pixel Watch 4 is the first commercial-grade smartwatch available in the US to offer satellite-based emergency SOS services.
