When Google announced that the new Pixel Watch 4 had satellite communications—and then its major iOS competitor, the Apple Watch, did the same—I could only think of one thing. The Apple Watch dominates the global smartwatch market, with Android competitors like the Galaxy Watch and the Pixel Watch growing their market share year over year. Like the Watch Ultra 3 and the Pixel Watch 4, Garmin also recently announced that the updated Fenix 8 Pro has satellite communications. I took both the Apple Watch Ultra 3 and the Pixel Watch 4 (8/10, WIRED Recommends) on off-grid camping trips, running, camping, and hiking.
