Google is beginning to roll out the blood pressure trends and insulin resistance features to the Pixel Watch smartwatches, two features that were announced alongside the Pixel Watch 5. Google officially announced the Pixel Watch 5 back in August, and it later started shipping the watch to buyers on August 20. At the time of launch, the blood pressure trends and the insulin resistance were not available for people to use, but Google did say that they were expected to launch later in the year. That time appears to be now, as the features are reportedly starting to show up on devices via updates.
The Pixel Watch 3, 4, and 5 Will Get Blood Pressure Trends Starting This Week
Owners of the last three Pixel Watch models will be getting these new features soon, with the Pixel Watch 5, Pixel Watch 4, and the Pixel Watch 3 all starting to receive the blood pressure trends and insulin resistance this week. These initiatives are part of a broader focus on enhancing health monitoring through wearable technology. Although the specific regions for the rollout have not been detailed, these features will be available in areas where Google’s Health Guardian functionality is supported.
It’s worth noting that while Blood Pressure Trends and Insulin Resistance Trends will be free features for users in supported regions, some Health Guardian capabilities, like Breathing Emergency Detection, are currently limited to the EU. This selective availability highlights Google’s sound approach to prioritize user safety and regulatory compliance.
As for the timing of these updates, while it has been mentioned they are occurring this week, the exact day when users will notice these features on their devices remains unconfirmed. It’s important for Pixel Watch owners to keep an eye on notifications and updates as these features become accessible. Additionally, owners of the Fitbit Air can expect similar updates as part of the Google Health Premium subscription later in 2026, broadening the reach of these advanced health monitoring capabilities.
