They didn’t however say how long if you use it in regular mode so it’s probably just a day or even less than a day if you’re a heavy user. It has all the usual sensors and features like NFC payments with Google Pay, Heart Rate Monitor, Activity Tracking with Google Fit, and of course Google Assistant support.

Design-wise, you have 15 different styles and they’re available in 40mm and 42mm sizes so it depends on how big or small you want the device on your wrist.
