There’s a coronary heart price monitor, buttons and proprietary watchband latches (boo) and, properly, not a lot else so as to add for now. The watch wouldn’t run past its boot-up display screen, so for now we’ll should dream how WearOS 3 will look. Such heady desires!

That all led to litigation.

Will this Pixel Watch leak finish equally? I’m undecided, however Google might do with the publicity in terms of its wearables.
