There’s confirmation of the design we’ve seen before
At this point, it’s no secret that Google is working on a Pixel Watch that will debut later this year. The smartwatch has leaked some vague renders, suggesting it will feature a circular screen with a dial on the right. Now, a new leak gives us a clear look at the front of the watch and one of the bundled Fitbit-style dials.

It also matches the renders leaked last December, while offering a better look at the crown on the right. The new renders clearly show a circular display that appears to have a 2.5D curved cover glass and an Apple Watch-inspired crown on the right. Google might offer knobs as a way to navigate the UI and scroll through lists.

As for the watch face, it features the Fitbit logo or shortcut, highlighting the Fitbit-Wear OS integration that Google teased long ago during Google I/O 2021. The watch face itself looks similar to what Fitbit offers on its fitness trackers, and to the Pixel watch face found in the Wear OS 3 emulator. This integration allows Pixel Watch users to sync their health data with the Fitbit app and enjoy more detailed data analysis. After all, Fitbit’s capabilities go beyond Google Fit.
Pixel Watch leaks and rumors have intensified in recent weeks. Google also recently redesigned the Google Store to emphasize smartwatches, further fueling the hype surrounding the Pixel Watch’s upcoming release. With Google I/O 2022 just over three weeks away, we’re likely to see the Pixel Watch officially debut during the event.
