Pixel Watch 5 vs. Galaxy Watch 9: Comparing Google and Samsung’s New Watches – CNET

While the Pixel 11 series received the spotlight at this week’s Made by Google event, the company also unveiled the Pixel Watch 5, its latest smartwatch. Though it looks similar to its predecessor, the Watch 5 does add a number of new health and fitness features, such as custom strength workouts and tracking vitals like blood pressure and insulin resistance. 

Seeing as Samsung also just announced its latest Galaxy Watch 9 recently, it makes sense to compare the two major Android smartwatches. The Galaxy Watch 9 also has a number of health and safety features, some of which are the same as the Pixel Watch 5 and some that set it apart from the competition. 

Here’s how the two major Android smartwatches compare.

The Galaxy Watch 9 starts at $380 for its 40mm size and $410 for its slightly larger 44mm size. The Pixel Watch 5 costs slightly higher at $400 for its 41mm size and $430 for its 45mm size.
