Is the Pixel Watch 5 worth it?

For Android users who want a compact round watch with Google Assistant and solid sleep and activity tracking, yes. It is rated 4.8 out of 5 from 242 ratings. If you need multi-day battery or cellular calls, look at other models.

Does the Wi-Fi model work without a phone?

It connects over Wi-Fi for syncing and Assistant, but without a cellular plan you need your phone nearby for calls and messages away from Wi-Fi. Pair it with an Android phone for the full feature set.

What size is the case?

This model has a 41mm round case, which suits smaller wrists. Check the strap width if you plan to use your own bands, since straps are interchangeable.

The case is water resistant, so it handles rain, sweat and hand washing. Avoid deep water and hot showers, and check the rated depth before swimming.

Expect the watch, a strap and a charging cable. The exact bundle is not confirmed on this page, so check the store listing before ordering.
