No Signal, No Problem: Pixel Watch 4 Is First Smartwatch with Satellite SOS

Date:

Google is breaking new ground in wearable safety by making the Pixel Watch 4 the first smartwatch to feature satellite-based SOS emergency services. This feature provides a critical communication link for users in remote locations without access to cellular or Wi-Fi networks.
Designed for adventurers, athletes, and anyone who travels off the beaten path, the satellite connectivity allows a user to send an emergency message to first responders from virtually anywhere on the planet. This feature, previously available on only a few select smartphones, adds an invaluable layer of security and peace of mind to a device worn on the wrist.
This safety innovation is part of a comprehensive upgrade for the Pixel Watch 4. The device also incorporates Google’s Gemini AI as a powerful health and fitness coach, offers a larger display, and is the company’s first watch designed with repairability in mind for its screen and battery.
By integrating this advanced safety technology, Google is positioning the Pixel Watch 4 as more than just a fitness tracker or a smartphone companion. It is being marketed as an essential piece of gear for safety and well-being, both in the city and far beyond it.
