Get 2 years of data and texting with your Pixel Watch 4

Get 2 years of data for any Pixel Watch 4 (LTE) on us to power your messaging, navigation, and music on the go.

Important:Current Google Fi Wireless customers don’t need to redeem the offer for Pixel Watch LTE data on us. Data, texting, and calling for your wearables are already included with any plan. To use this benefit, refer to Use your Google Pixel or Samsung Galaxy watches with Google Fi .

Eligibility

Google Pixel Watch 4 LTE purchases in the United States¹ (except Alaska and US Territories) at Best Buy or Google Store online or in-store from August 20, 2025 or later are eligible to redeem 2 years of data and texting service.

What’s included

  • 2 years of data and texting powered by Google Fi Wireless

High-speed data

  • Get up to 500 MB of high-speed data per month to use on your watch when you’re out of Bluetooth range of your phone. After reaching the data limit, the speed will slow to 256 kbps. Data usage is capped at 1 GB per month and roaming is not supported.
  • To know if your area has network availability, review our coverage map .

Texting

  • Texting syncs your watch with your phone using the Google Messages app over the internet. This allows your watch to send and receive texts using your current phone number and phone’s carrier.
  • To send and receive texts on your watch, you need to have texting service from your primary carrier on your phone. Make sure your phone is on and connected to the internet.
  • When your watch is outside the Bluetooth range of your paired phone, it can’t make or receive calls.

Activation

You can activate your watch data during device setup or later in the Pixel Watch app.

  • Activate data after watch setup:On your Pixel Watch app, tap Connectivity Mobile network Activate Google Fi data.

You must activate your service within 60 daysof setting up your watch to receive the full 2 years of service. The 2 years of service starts from the activation date.

After 2 years, your watch will need a standalone data plan from a carrier, like Google Fi Wireless, for continued full connectivity. All Google Fi Wireless plans include this at no extra cost.

Transferability

This benefit is linked to the specific eligible watch you purchased and its unique activation link, so it cannot be transferred to a different device. However, the benefit can be transferred to another person (e.g. giving the watch as a gift) by following the activation steps in the Pixel Watch app.
