## Google Pixel Watch 4 Gains Support for 12 New Sports Modes

Google has released an update for the Pixel Watch 4, adding support for 12 new sports modes and significantly expanding its fitness tracking capabilities. The update brings the total number of trackable activities to over 50, a notable increase from the previous generation’s offering of just over 40.

The newly added sports include badminton, baseball, basketball, cricket, field hockey, American football, soccer, outdoor swimming, padel, pickleball, pool swimming, and rugby. This expansion caters to a wider range of fitness pursuits and reflects current trends in recreational activities.

Notably, the inclusion of pickleball highlights the sport’s surging popularity. Previously, Pixel Watch users had to manually log pickleball games under a generic “sport” category, limiting the accuracy of calorie estimates and performance feedback. The new dedicated mode provides a more precise tracking experience.

This update aligns with similar offerings from competitors like Apple and Garmin, demonstrating the growing demand for specialized tracking across a diverse range of sports. The expanded range of tracked activities acknowledges the varied ways individuals choose to exercise.

The update is now available for Pixel Watch 4 users.
