The watch incorporates a **rotating crown** on the right side that is fully operational, allowing for effortless scrolling through menus. There’s also an additional button for accessing recently used applications. The construction feels durable, although it should be highlighted that the watch continues to use **Gorilla Glass 5** rather than the more resilient **Gorilla Glass Victus 2**. While this isn’t a dealbreaker, a more robust glass option would have been appreciated, particularly considering the Pixel Watch’s susceptibility to scratches and cracks.
The **band mechanism** is distinctive to the Pixel Watch, and while it requires some acclimatization, swapping bands becomes straightforward once mastered. Additionally, there is a good variety of third-party bands to choose from.
### Pros:
– **Two sizes** available
