New day, new trailer. At this point, we’re pretty much exhausted from hearing rumors about the long-awaited Pixel Watch. Personally, I don’t care if this thing ends up being a basic fitness tracker. Based on early renders and ongoing gossip, I’d buy it the moment it’s available. In case you missed all the hype, check out last year’s exclusive first look at the Pixel Watch from Front Page Tech.
We don’t know much about the Pixel Watch now compared to a year ago, but more leaks and rumours point to an imminent launch. Just last week, @evleaks shared a screenshot of an internal tutorial page from an unknown Google partner. We see the watch’s codename Rohan and a drop-down menu indicating that the wearable is running Wear OS 3.1. Fingers crossed, the Pixel Watch will launch with the updated Wear OS 3.2, but only time will tell.
The latest from the Pixel Watch rumor mill is another render from the ’91 phone. It’s the same site that worked with @evleaks to bring us our first 360-degree look at Google’s upcoming Pixel 6a smartphone. While the new render doesn’t really show anything new about the hardware, it does give us an up-close look at the watch face and what could be Google’s final design for the Pixel Watch.
As you can see in the image above, the UI looks very simple and clean. The at-a-glance screen gives me everything I need for a smartwatch. Step count, heart rate, date and, of course, time. The center icon is clearly the Fitbit logo, which hopefully means Google will seamlessly integrate all of Fitbit’s great features directly into the Pixel Watch out of the box.
Pixel watch release date
At this point, no one has found any conclusive evidence of an exact release date for the Pixel Watch, but this thing has been in development for so long, I can’t foresee Google delaying it longer than absolutely necessary. Google I/O is coming, and while it’s not a hardware event, the timing is perfect for the Pixel 6a and Pixel Watch. At the very least, I’d like Google to step up and give us an exact date for when we can expect both hardware. Stay tuned for more coverage on the Pixel Watch.
