Google has added At a Glance functionality to the Pixel Watch. Arriving courtesy of a server-side change, At a Glance on the Pixel Watch functions as it does on Pixel smartphones, albeit with fewer features for now.

Google is slowly bringing more Pixel smartphone features to the Pixel Watch, with the company allegedly gearing to release the Pixel Watch 2 this autumn. According to 9to5Google, Google has now enabled 'At a Glance' functionality on its first smartwatch, a feature that has been part of the default Google Pixel launcher for years at this point. At a Glance starts with limited functionality on the Pixel Watch, but there is no reason why Google cannot match the feature set offered on Pixel smartphones.

For now, At a Glance on a Pixel Watch will show calendar and weather information. 9to5Google notes that the former also includes a countdown timer until the start of your next event. Moreover, Google restricts At a Glance to the fourth slot of the Utility watch face, although it should be an available complication on third-party watch faces.

At a Glance for the Pixel Watch arrives separate from the June 2023 Feature Drop, discussed separately. In short, Google has finally enabled the smartwatch's SpO2 sensor, among other changes. Seemingly, At a Glance has arrived via a server-side update. Please see our Pixel Watch review for our thoughts on Google's inaugural smartwatch and how it compares with its peers.
