Google’s Pixel Watch 5 dives deeper into AI and health

At least there’s no new proprietary charger this year. Huzzah!! | Photo: David Imel / The Verge The $399 Google Pixel Watch 5 isn't about the hardware. Sure, there's a new satin pyrite case finish, a few new strap colors, and a Steph Curry Special Edition. Under the hood, there's a slightly faster Qualcomm processor and an itty-bitty battery bump. There's a $50 price hike from last year, too, because the Pixel Watch 5 isn't immune to RAMageddon - none of us are. Otherwise, no one would blame you for looking at this watch and thinking absolutely nothing's changed. That's because the big updates this year are all software-based. This isn't a huge surprise considering Google's Fitbit Air launch in May. And after seeing some Pixel Watch 5 … Read the full story at The Verge.

The Pixel Tag is Google’s answer to the AirTag

The Pixel Tag is longer but thinner than Apple’s AirTags. More than two years after launching its own device-tracking network, Google has finally followed up with its own tracker. The Pixel Tag, which goes on sale in November, looks like one of the more capable trackers too: It combines ultra wideband (UWB) with Bluetooth 6.0 Channel Sounding for two distinct types of precision tracking. The Pixel Tag goes on sale on November 11th, unlike the newly announced Pixel 11 and Pixel Watch 5, which are already available to preorder and ship next week. When it arrives, the Tag will cost $29, with a four-pack for $99 - the exact same pricing as Apple's AirTag 2. The Pixel Tag is a slim oblong device avail … Read the full story at The Verge.
