Pixel Watch Now Walks You Through Each Exercise in Your Workout

Google's Pixel Watch can now walk you through a workout one exercise at a time. The feature starts rolling out today to Pixel Watch 3 and newer models. Google first announced it with the launch of the Pixel Watch 5.

What it does

The watch shows live, step-by-step instructions for each exercise in your session. The workout can come from the Google Health Coach, which creates personalized plans. It can also be a custom routine you build yourself in the Google Health app.

• View the steps on your watch or on your phone.
• The two devices stay in sync during the workout.
• Log reps and weights right on your wrist.
• See live metrics as you go, then your stats on both devices when you finish.

What you need

The feature requires a Google Health Premium subscription, which is sold separately. It also needs the Google Health app and an internet connection. Google says features may change and availability varies. It adds that the feature is not intended for medical purposes.

For anyone who still writes sets and weights in a gym notebook, this could replace that habit. The cost is the subscription.

What is not clear

The material does not say what Google Health Premium costs. It also does not say which countries get the feature first or how quickly the rollout will reach every eligible watch. Owners of older Pixel Watch models are not included.
