In the ever-evolving world of wearable technology, Google is making significant strides with its Pixel Watch app, the latest 1.4 update brings exciting new features such as the ability to link Gooogle Account and user interface enhancements, to further enhance the Pixel Watch user’s overall experience.
One of the standout additions in this Pixel Watch 1.4 update update is the ability to link your Google Account directly through the app. Additionally, there are noticeable UI tweaks that contribute to a more polished and user-friendly interface.
However, linking won’t affect any Google Account you’ve already signed in to on your watch. To manage or add accounts to your watch, go to Google Settings in the app.
After updating, you’ll get a “Sign in to Google and link your watch to access all settings” prompt. The “Time to link your watch” page shows “Unlinked watches,” which appears to be very wearable paired before this app update.
Talking about the UI changes, your account avatar now appears in the top-right corner. The latest update also modifies the watch switcher so that it’s no longer a dropdown menu where you’ll also find the “Add a new watch” option. Instead, there’s a new “Your watches” icon in the top-left corner where you’re presented with a list.

To be mentioned, using a Google Account with the app lets you access more settings. No additional Pixel Watch preferences are available after you link an account today. This is presumably because the watch transfer feature, which is tied to Wear OS 4, is not here yet.
- “To transfer your watch to your other phone, log in to a Google Account on your watch. Then, try again.”
- “To transfer your watch to this phone, use the same Google Account on your watch and phone.”
Here’s how to watch transfer will work:
- “On your other phone, go to Google Play and download the Google Pixel Watch app”
- “Start transfer on this phone and confirm on your watch”
- “On your other phone, open the Google Pixel Watch app and pair your watch”
Additionally, work on syncing DND and Bedtime Mode also continues:
- Sync Do Not Disturb and bedtime modes across your watch and phone
- You no longer have to manage these settings individually on each device
