The November Pixel Drop brings step-by-step workout guidance to Pixel Watch 3 and newer models. Google has not clarified whether a Google Health Premium subscription is required. Later updates will introduce Gemini Call Screen on Pixel Watch 5, along with AI notification summaries and Phone to Watch Unlock.
Google is bringing step-by-step workout guidance to Pixel Watch as part of its November Pixel Drop, alongside several other upgrades. Over the past few months, the company has made multiple improvements to its health and fitness ecosystem. Google Health already lets users create custom workout routines using natural language and offers recommendations based on their fitness data. The platform also includes the Gemini-powered Google Health Coach, which creates personalized workout plans based on user goals, recovery, and daily routines. Google has also improved exercise recording, allowing users to manually log more workout information.
Keeping track of exercises, repetitions, and weights while working out can be a hassle. Google is addressing this with Step-by-step Workouts, which lets users follow instructions for each exercise directly on their Pixel Watch. For example, during a strength training routine, users can log repetitions and weights as they go, without pulling out a phone. The watch can also display live workout metrics, and that same information is accessible from the phone.
Google says the feature is rolling out to Pixel Watch 3 and newer models. However, the company has not clarified whether a Google Health Premium subscription is required.
Google is also bringing Gemini Call Screen to Pixel Watch 5, which will screen incoming calls on demand and provide details before the user decides whether to answer. Google says this feature will initially be limited to the US.
Additionally, Google is working on AI-powered Notification Summaries for Pixel Watch 3 and newer models, alongside Phone to Watch Unlock. Phone to Watch Unlock will let users unlock their smartwatch using a nearby paired phone, without entering a PIN or pattern. Both features are coming later, with Notification Summaries requiring Wear OS 7.1 and a compatible Pixel phone, while Phone to Watch Unlock will only work in regions where UWB is allowed.
