Pixel Watch 5 lets you customize double pinch to dismiss alarms
9to5Google • • general
Key Points:
- The Pixel Watch 5 enhances the double pinch gesture by allowing users to customize actions across music controls and alarms, unlike the Pixel Watch 4 which only supports snoozing alarms with this gesture.
- Users can now set the double pinch gesture to either snooze or dismiss alarms, and control media playback by playing/pausing or skipping tracks.
- Additional customization options include opening ongoing notifications or always scrolling the notification tray with the double pinch gesture, helping users stay updated on alerts.
- The Pixel Watch 5 also offers a setting to long-press media controls in "At a Glance" to toggle between displaying just an icon or both icon and text, with the text option showing the song name but potentially covering more of the watch face.
- Although the settings hint at possible wrist turn customizations, currently only double pinch gesture settings are available on the Pixel Watch 5.
