It's all powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon W5 Gen 2 chipset, and outside of some initial stutters when I was downloading and updating apps, operating the Pixel Watch 4 feels smooth. I've popped the Pixel Watch 4 on its new charging dock, and after getting ready in the morning for about 15 minutes, I've seen the battery jump to over 50 percent from near empty. The annoying caveat is that this is the third time Google has changed the charger in four generations, meaning you cannot use an older Pixel Watch charger—and that feels wasteful. In general, Google seriously needs to offer more ways to charge the Pixel Watch 4. Why doesn't the charging dock have a USB-C port instead, à la the OnePlus Watch 3 or the new Tag Heuer Calibre 5?
