Google Pixel Watch 5 评测：更强健康功能，更多 AI 加持

Rating: 8/10 评分：8/10

TIRED: AI watch faces feel gimmicky. Price has crept up. Active Band is still dull. Still no better charging ecosystem. 不足： AI 表盘感觉像噱头；价格有所上涨；Active 表带依然乏味；充电生态系统仍无改善。

WIRED: Remains a stunning design. New Health Guardian features with proactive wellness insights. Strength Training experience is useful for gymgoers. Gemini now has offline functionality. Double the storage. 亮点： 设计依然惊艳；新增具备主动健康洞察的“健康守护者”（Health Guardian）功能；力量训练体验对健身爱好者非常实用；Gemini 现支持离线功能；存储空间翻倍。

The Google Pixel Watch has always been a gorgeous smartwatch (minus the Active Band, which we’ve complained about ad nauseam). With Google Health Premium and Google Health Coach now part of the experience, it’s also one of the few smartwatches that feels equally capable as a fitness tracker and an everyday companion. Google Pixel Watch 一直是一款外观精美的智能手表（除了我们已经吐槽过无数次的 Active 表带）。随着 Google Health Premium 和 Google Health Coach 的加入，它也成为了少数几款既能胜任健身追踪器，又能作为日常伴侣的智能手表之一。

The Pixel Watch 5 takes a repairable model we already love and fine-tunes it, with most of the meaningful changes coming to Google’s health and fitness tools. Like the Fitbit Air, it leans further into proactive health insights. Most of our complaints about the Pixel Watch 4 remain, except that Gemini now has (some) offline functionality. Pixel Watch 5 在我们已经喜爱的可维修设计基础上进行了微调，大部分实质性的改进都集中在 Google 的健康和健身工具上。与 Fitbit Air 一样，它更加侧重于主动的健康洞察。我们对 Pixel Watch 4 的大部分抱怨依然存在，唯一的例外是 Gemini 现在具备了（部分）离线功能。

Smarter and Still Domed

更智能，依然保持圆润外观

Google says the Pixel Watch 5 is 20 percent faster than its predecessor, thanks to its upgraded Qualcomm Snapdragon W5 Gen 2 Accelerated chip. CPU performance gets a 12 percent boost, and there’s double the RAM. I didn’t notice a dramatic difference in speed compared to the Watch 4, but I also had few complaints to begin with. Scrolling is smooth, apps load and update quickly, and Gemini responds to voice commands without much lag. Google 表示，得益于升级后的高通骁龙 W5 Gen 2 加速芯片，Pixel Watch 5 的运行速度比前代产品快了 20%。CPU 性能提升了 12%，内存也翻了一番。虽然我没有感觉到与 Watch 4 相比有巨大的速度差异，但我原本对前代的速度就没什么不满。滚动操作流畅，应用加载和更新迅速，Gemini 对语音指令的响应也没有明显的延迟。

The Pixel Watch maintains its domed design, which remains one of my favorite traits. The curved display makes information easy to glance at while giving the smartwatch a more approachable look. There were already plenty of watch faces to choose from, and Google has added two more, along with 11 complication styles. Pixel Watch 保持了其圆润的穹顶设计，这依然是我最喜欢的特点之一。曲面显示屏让信息一目了然，同时也赋予了这款智能手表更具亲和力的外观。原本就有丰富的表盘可供选择，Google 又新增了两个表盘，以及 11 种复杂功能样式。

You can also now use generative AI to create a custom face from a prompt. The customization is somewhat limited; you’re essentially choosing the font, but it was surprisingly responsive to my weirder requests. My Nickelodeon-themed prompt produced an orange face covered in slime, and brand-inspired prompts were decent at mimicking iconic fonts like Coca-Cola’s. Still, I never landed on an AI-generated face I liked more than the defaults, so I went back to Digital Bold. 现在，你还可以使用生成式 AI 根据提示词创建自定义表盘。自定义程度有限，本质上是在选择字体，但它对我一些奇怪的要求响应得非常出色。我用“尼克儿童频道”（Nickelodeon）作为提示词，生成了一个覆盖着史莱姆的橙色表盘；而以品牌为灵感的提示词在模仿可口可乐等标志性字体方面表现也不错。不过，我最终还是没能找到比默认表盘更喜欢的 AI 生成表盘，所以还是换回了 Digital Bold。

I tested the 45-mm model, and it’s the right choice if you want a larger display for readability and glanceability during workouts. But I previously used the 41-mm Watch 4, and I do prefer that size for my smaller wrists. Even with the smaller screen, notifications and workout stats are easy to read. 我测试的是 45 毫米版本，如果你想要更大的显示屏以便在锻炼时查看信息，这是一个不错的选择。但我之前用的是 41 毫米的 Watch 4，对于我较细的手腕来说，我更喜欢那个尺寸。即使在较小的屏幕上，通知和锻炼数据也依然清晰易读。

The Watch 5 features a larger battery than its predecessor, mainly to support new AI capabilities. For that reason, battery life remains similar, with Google estimating up to 40 hours. I get about 36 hours, which is still solid. What continues to impress me the most, though, is the fast charging, which delivers 15 hours of use in just 15 minutes. This is a game changer when I forget to charge it before heading out for a workout (which is often!). Google still hasn’t introduced additional charging options or 3-in-1 or 2-in-1 docks for its Pixel portfolio (the Apple Watch has so many charging accessories), and we’re still patiently waiting. Watch 5 的电池容量比前代更大，主要是为了支持新的 AI 功能。因此，续航时间保持不变，Google 预计最长可达 40 小时。我的实际使用时间约为 36 小时，表现依然稳健。最让我印象深刻的仍然是快充功能，充电 15 分钟即可使用 15 小时。这对我这种经常在出门锻炼前忘记充电的人来说简直是救星！Google 至今仍未为其 Pixel 产品组合推出额外的充电选项或三合一/二合一底座（Apple Watch 有很多充电配件），我们仍在耐心等待。

It still comes with an Active Band (ugh), but there are new color options, including Fog, Canyon (exclusive to the 41-mm model), and Olive. Prices have also gone up, starting at $399 (41 mm) and $429 (45 mm). Similar to the Fitbit Air, there’s a Stephen Curry Special Edition, which comes with a water-repellent band for a total of $579. 它依然标配 Active 表带（唉），但增加了新的配色，包括雾霾灰、峡谷色（41 毫米版本独占）和橄榄绿。价格也有所上涨，起售价分别为 399 美元（41 毫米）和 429 美元（45 毫米）。与 Fitbit Air 类似，它还推出了斯蒂芬·库里特别版，配备防水表带，售价为 579 美元。

More Ways to Track Your Health

更多健康追踪方式

Fitness tracking gets some of the biggest upgrades. The new Strength Training experience adds a workout builder, audio cues, rest timers, and the ability to track weights and reps. You can create a custom workout in the Google Health app, then have the watch guide you through each exercise and time your rest periods. You can also ask Google’s AI coach to build a workout based on a photo of your equipment. 健身追踪功能得到了最大的升级。全新的力量训练体验增加了锻炼构建器、语音提示、休息计时器，以及追踪重量和次数的功能。你可以在 Google Health 应用中创建自定义锻炼计划，然后让手表引导你完成每项练习并计时休息。你甚至可以让 Google 的 AI 教练根据你拍摄的健身器材照片来制定锻炼计划。

Whether you’ll actually use all of this depends on your active lifestyle, but I can see it being particularly useful for someone new to the gym who wants a little structure that feels personal. I do appreciate that it syncs to the watch, so I can see rep counts and rest intervals without unlocking my phone. 你是否会真正用到所有这些功能取决于你的生活方式，但我认为对于刚开始健身、想要获得个性化指导的新手来说，这非常有用。我特别喜欢它能与手表同步的功能，这样我就能在不解锁手机的情况下查看重复次数和休息间隔。

Gemini is still one of Pixel Watch’s best features, and it can now tackle offline tasks, such as starting a workout, which is handy if you tend to leave your phone at home on runs. The dual-band GPS is the same, but Google says route tracking is now twice as accurate in urban environments. It now accounts for atmospheric interference and multipath errors, which should help it maintain more accurate positioning around tall buildings. So far, I’ve had zero issues with route mapping in Chicago, and I can say the same for the previous model. I’m curious whether people in New York City might notice a bigger difference. Gemini 依然是 Pixel Watch 最好的功能之一，现在它还能处理离线任务，比如开始锻炼，这对于跑步时习惯不带手机的人来说非常方便。双频 GPS 与前代相同，但 Google 表示，在城市环境中，路线追踪的准确度提高了一倍。它现在考虑了大气干扰和多径误差，这有助于在建筑物密集区域保持更精准的定位。到目前为止，我在芝加哥使用路线地图时没有任何问题，前代产品也是如此。我很好奇纽约的用户是否会感觉到更大的差异。

The Watch 5 retains several health features from its predecessors, including Loss of Pulse detection, ECG, and skin temperature tracking. It also introduces four Health Guardian tools that have undergone clinical validation and will be available in September: Insulin Resistance Trends, Blood Pressure Trends, Breathing Emergency Detection, and Sleep Breathing Quality Trends. Watch 5 保留了前代的几项健康功能，包括脉搏丢失检测、心电图（ECG）和皮肤温度追踪。它还引入了四项经过临床验证的“健康守护者”工具，将于 9 月推出：胰岛素抵抗趋势、血压趋势、呼吸紧急情况检测和睡眠呼吸质量趋势。

Insulin Resistance Trends analyzes weeks of physiological data to identify shifts in metabolic health without requiring a blood draw. The watch can also passively track pulse and motion patterns throughout the month to estimate blood pressure trends without manual calibration. Breathing Emergency Detection monitors blood oxygen levels for potentially dangerous drops and, if you become unresponsive, can automatically contact emergency services. “胰岛素抵抗趋势”通过分析数周的生理数据来识别代谢健康的变化，无需抽血。手表还能在整月中被动追踪脉搏和运动模式，从而在无需手动校准的情况下估算血压趋势。“呼吸紧急情况检测”会监测血氧水平是否存在潜在的危险下降，如果你失去反应，它还能自动联系紧急服务部门。
