Important: Diagnostics are only available for Pixel Watch 2.
When you chat with a Pixel Watch customer support agent, you may be asked to run a diagnostic check on your watch. This check gets and sends useful information to Google Support.
Agents use the information from this check to learn about your device and its sensors and help fix your issues. This check doesn't find out where you are. It also doesn't collect your personal health information like your steps, your heart rate, how much sleep you get or heart test results.
