Track exercise, fitness, and activity goals

Sleep habits

Set sleep goals, track your sleep stages, and manage reminders to wind down. For sleep tracking, you will need a minimum 20% charge. Try charging during your morning routine or wind-down time at night so the battery lasts while in Bedtime mode.

Important: Pixel Watch 2 and 3 have a dedicated sensor to monitor variations in your sleeping skin temperature⁷ related to your wellness. Pixel Watch 2 and 3 tracks and reports blood oxygen saturation (SpO2)⁴ after a sleep lasting more than three hours.

Track deviations in sleeping skin temperature

The Pixel Watch 2 comes with a dedicated skin temperature sensor that measures your skin temperature at your wrist while you’re sleeping. After establishing a baseline temperature by sleeping with your watch for 3 nights, your watch and phone will report the average skin temperature deviation from your baseline in degrees. This information may provide helpful insight for managing your wellness. Learn more at How can Fitbit help me track my temperature.

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 device 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. Go to 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.}
