When speaking with a Pixel Watch customer support agent, you may be asked to run a diagnostic on your Watch to collect diagnostics and share them with Google support. These Watch diagnostics provide our support agents with helpful device-specific information about your Watch so they can better understand and resolve your issue. The diagnostic tool does not collect your personal health and wellness data (such as activity, heart rate, sleep, ECG) or location.
Your diagnostics data helps support agents fix your issue more effectively by allowing them to quickly see the state that your device, and the sensors on your device, are in.
