The Pixel Watch may not be the Fitbit you're looking for

• Google's latest Pixel Watch is seemingly missing some central Fitbit features.
• Blood Oxygen tracking is coming in a future update but is seemingly unavailable at launch.
• Automatic workout tracking may or may not be available on the Pixel Watch, as it's listed in some places and not in others.

Tech enthusiasts have been waiting for a new watch from the search giant since it acquired the fitness tracker. The day finally came this week, and on October 6th, there was a new product from the company. Pre-order it for $349 and it will be available later.

It appears that it's not a complete experience. One would hope that the integration on the watch would be perfect, but it isn't.

Connect The Watts pointed out that the Pixel Watch is missing some of the features that users of Fitbit have come to know and love. They include the ability to start, stop, and pause workouts, as well as irregular heart rhythm notifications and guided breathing.

The report compares the Pixel Watch with the Sense 2 and notes some drawbacks. All-day body response tracking, stress management with EDA sensors, and skin temperature sensors are some of the features missing from the new watch.

The Pixel Watch is not compatible with Apple's mobile operating system.

According to the 9to5Google report, they pointed to the feature comparison between the three devices on the comparison page of the store. The findings are in line with the report as they appear to be missing some features.

There is a mention on the website of the Pixel Watch that it supports automatic exercise tracking. The support page for the Pixel Watch states that the watch tracks several activity types, but it's not clear how much of that is true. We will update this when we hear back on our request for clarification on automatic workout tracking and the availability of the Pixel watch.

Chris Wedel found a lot of sensor in the device. A blood oxygen sensor, a heart rate sensor, and a multiple-purpose electrical sensor for tracking health and fitness exercises are included in the system.

It's not clear at this point if there's a strategy to keeping these features out of the Pixel Watch while they're already available on other devices.

James Park said that the team behind the watch focused on the advanced heart rate sensor.

Over time, other technologies and sensors around health and fitness will move into this line of products.

Theportfolio approach is where users looking for better battery life and health tracking might want to consider a Fitbit device. Our hope is that the watch will get more health- tracking features in the future.

There's a lot to like about the device. The position of this is different than the one of the Fitbit watch. It's definitely a device for users who are looking for more than just a watch. If it's good enough for you, you might want to check out the Pixel Watch.
