The Android Authority report mentions Google rolling out the Smart Wake alarm feature to Pixel Watch 2, 3, and 4 as part of the September 2026 Wear OS 7 update. This feature was originally introduced with the Pixel Watch 5.
The Smart Wake feature monitors heart rate and subtle movement for a 30-minute window before the set alarm time and wakes users with gentle haptic vibrations during lighter sleep phases. Android Authority reports that users can access the feature directly inside the Clock app on their Pixel Watch once it has received the new update.
