The firm's first own-brand watch combines Google's operating system and Fitbit health tracking tech.
The Google Pixel Watch combines its own Wear operating system with Fitbit health tracking.The watch can be paired with Android devices only and is 4G-compatible, which means it can function on its own without being near a phone - but to do this it requires its own data plan.The tech giant did not reveal a price for the wearable, but it said would be a "premium product" when it launches in the autumn.
There are already many third party Android watches which run on Google's Wear operating system but so far Google has not had its own device.. Despite speculation that the Pixel Watch might also pair with Apple products, Google confirmed this will not be the case.Google's initial takeover of Fitbit was probed by the European Commission, which eventually gave its approval.
