As the tech world gears up for Google’s highly anticipated “Made by Google” event on August 20, 2025, fresh leaks suggest that the upcoming Pixel Watch 4 will not see a price increase, a welcome relief for Canadian consumers. The new smartwatch appears set to match the Pixel Watch 3’s launch prices, positioning it as a potentially strong value option for 2025.
Industry insider billbil-kun, who released information on July 18, indicates that the 41mm Pixel Watch 4 with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity is expected to start at approximately CA$637. For those seeking cellular independence, the LTE version, complete with eSIM support, is reportedly priced at around CA $797. The larger 45mm model will reportedly cost approximately CA $717 for the Wi−Fi variant and CA $876 for the LTE version, maintaining the consistent CA $160 price difference between Wi-Fi and LTE models, a detail also noted by Dealabs.
These leaked European prices, when converted to Canadian dollars, align closely with the Pixel Watch 3’s initial pricing. For context, the Pixel Watch 3 41mm Wi-Fi model launched at CA $399.99, and the 45mm LTE version was priced around CA $499.99. While official Canadian pricing has yet to be confirmed, it’s reasonable to anticipate that Google will maintain these competitive price points in the Canadian market.
Key Upgrades Under the Hood
Beyond the pricing, leaks shed light on several significant internal enhancements for the Pixel Watch 4. While the smartwatch will retain the Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 processor used in its predecessors, it is rumoured to incorporate a new co-processor. This addition is expected to enable more efficient handling of AI features, including Gemini integration. This dedicated co-processor could significantly enhance the watch’s ability to process complex AI tasks without heavily taxing the main chip, offering smoother and more responsive AI experiences right from your wrist.
The display is also slated for a substantial upgrade. The Pixel Watch 4 is expected to feature a 3,000-nit AMOLED LTPO panel, a considerable jump from the Pixel Watch 3’s 2,000-nit panel. This brighter display will offer improved visibility, especially in direct sunlight, and potentially enhance overall colour vibrancy and clarity.
Battery life, a crucial factor for any wearable, also sees a modest but welcome increase. The 41mm model is rumoured to house a 327mAh battery, while the 45mm model will reportedly come with a 459mAh battery. According to Android Headlines, these larger capacities could translate to up to two days of battery life, addressing a common user desire for extended usage between charges and reducing the frequency of charging.
With a consistent price point and several notable upgrades in tow, the Pixel Watch 4 could emerge as a highly competitive option in the smartwatch market, particularly against rivals such as Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Watch 8. Canadian consumers will be keenly watching the official announcement on August 20 for full details and confirmation of these promising leaks.
