Connect the Fitbit app

Family Link will work with Google Pixel Watch, but at the moment Child Accounts under a Fitbit family account are not supported. For kids, we recommend the Fitbit Ace 3 activity tracker.

Track exercise, fitness, and activity goals

Exercise with your Pixel Watch

Google Pixel Watch automatically tracks several activity types. Track steps, calories, GPS data, and more with activity types like running, weightlifting, or tennis on Google Pixel Watch. Learn more about how to track your workouts.

Swim with and clean your water resistant Pixel Watch

Regularly clean your band and wrist—especially after working out, sweating, or washing your hands. While not waterproof, Google Pixel Watch is water resistant and splash proof. We recommend that you take the watch off after it gets wet, and that you dry it well before putting it back on.²

Google Pixel Watch can withstand some rain, shallow pools, and sweat from exercise, but it should not be immersed in water for more than 24 hours, used during high-speed or high-impact water sports, or exposed to soapy water or other liquids.

Sleep habits

How to Track your Sleep on your Google Pixel Watch

Set sleep goals, track your sleep stages, and manage reminders to wind down. For sleep tracking you will need a minimum 30% charge. Try charging during your morning routine or wind-down time at night so the battery lasts while you’re sleeping.

Track health, heart rate, and ECG

² _{Google Pixel Watch is designed to comply with a water protection rating of 5 ATM under ISO standard 22810:2010 when manufactured, but it is not waterproof. Water resistance is not a permanent condition and decreases or is lost over time due to normal wear and tear, repair, disassembly, or damage. Dropping your Google Pixel Watch may result in loss of water resistance. Google Pixel Watch is designed to be used in shallow water and should not be used for activities involving water at high velocity or high temperature. Some Google Pixel Watch bands are not water-resistant. See g.co/pixelwatch/water for details. After any exposure to liquid, we recommend drying the watch and band because, as with any wearable device, it’s best for your skin if the band is clean and dry.}
