That’s pretty normal for a flagship smartwatch these days.
of its estimated 40-hour battery life. Meanwhile, Fitbit used to knock it out of the park when it came to battery life, but since it’s added always-on displays to its latest trackers, that’s shrunk to two to three days with the feature enabled.
Of course, you’ll find fitness watches with battery life that exceeds a week — sometimes even multiple weeks. I’ve been testing thefor over a week with roughly five hours of GPS activity, and I’ve still got 40 percent battery left. However, that’s because this watch prioritizes fitness tracking, has a low-power transflective screen, and doesn’t have a ton of “smart” features. This is generally the case with multisport fitness watches.
You can’t have your cake and eat it too — not yet. Right now, there’s an inverse relationship between battery life and feature set on flagship watches. The more features you want, the worse your battery life will be. If you want an always-on OLED display, you’re going to have to put up with frequent charging. If you want a digital assistant that can be triggered by a wake word? Sorry, you’ll have to be mindful about charging.
If — and this is a big if — the Pixel Watch can manage 24 hours with an always-on display enabled while listening for Assistant in the background, that’s good enough. It’s only a “bad” thing if Google fails to deliver a watch that can’t last a full workday with roughly an hour of GPS activity. Right now, we just don’t know because we don’t have the final product in our hands.
