Pixel Watch 5 holds promise for health and wellness

Techstination feature for Monday, September 21, 2026

Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear.  I’m Fred Fishkin.    On the surface the new Pixel Watch 5 from Google…doesn’t look much different from previous generations…but in bright light outdoors…I immediately noticed how much brighter the Actua display is.   It also now has 64 gigs of vase storage.   And there is a new Health Guardian ecosystem…with some features here now and others on the way…

“Health Guardian includes a couple new trends that you can track.  Insulin resistance trends and blood pressure trends as well.   You’ll also be able to take a look at sleep breathing quality.  These are all indicators of general health and wellness and Pixel Watch 5 will help you see all that comprehensively.”

Google’s Alex Moriconi.  Some of the new features…including the Insulin Resistance and Blood Pressure trends may come to some previous generation Pixel watches as well.
