The Google Pixel Watch is an excellent smartwatch and possibly, my favourite Android smartwatch, but I still think it has a long way to go, especially when we compare it to the Apple Watch.

That is why as a long-term user of the Pixel Watch and various Apple Watches, I decided to share the 5 things I believe the Pixel Watch should learn from the Apple Watch.

Just a disclaimer, I’m currently the owner of a 1st generation Pixel Watch and the Apple Watch SE 1st generation, so most of my comparisons will be based on my experiences with those. But I think that the things I will be mentioning here will also be accurate for newer models.

So without any further ado, here are 5 things the Google Pixel Watch can learn from the Apple Watch…

1. More charging options

I wanted to start with something that I find very surprising about the Google Pixel Watch range and that’s the fact that they don’t support battery share.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with this feature, Battery Share allows us to wirelessly charge QI-certified phones and accessories by simply placing them on the back of a compatible phone.
