Update 5/11: Pixel Watch is official! See Google’s announcement at Google I / O 2022 here.
This story was updated shortly after its release and contains more information about the allegedly leaked Google Pixel Watch, including images of the clock that may be next to the Samsung Galaxy Watch and Apple Watch. This article also contains some details from a Reddit post written by the source.
What you need to know
- The Pixel Watch may have been left behind and discovered in a US restaurant, according to sources who sent the image to Android Central.
- The potentially watch image seems to be in line with many leaked rumors, including minimalist designs, crowns, and potential hidden buttons.
- The watch seems to have its own Google band.
- The watch didn’t come with a charger, so I don’t know how it will charge.
The Google Pixel Watch seems to have been found left in a restaurant in the United States. Images sent from the source to Android Central look like Google’s first smartwatch.
Android Central has identified a clock image that could be announced at Google I / O next month. The watch itself may be released with Pixel 7.
A watch that could be a “test model for the Internal Pixel team” was found in a restaurant, according to sources who remained anonymous to protect their identities. Sources have requested that Android Central not publish restaurant names, including names and locations, to protect their work. After reporting this story, sources wrote a Reddit post about the alleged watch. According to sources, the watch “was left in the restaurant for a few weeks hoping that the people who left it would come back, but that never happened.”
The leak is very reminiscent of when Gizmodo reported on an iPhone 4 prototype that was lost and found in the bar. The phone was disguised to look like an iPhone 3GS.
If the image is real, this is the first time I’ve seen a rumored watch called “Rohan”. 9to5Google found the code hidden in a Google update indicating that the Pixel Watch uses the Exynos chipset instead of the Snapdragon model found on most WearOS 3 compatible watches.
The clock in our image looks almost the same as the leak in the rumored rendered image. It has a minimalist design and follows that the leak suggests a screen with almost no bezel. This image also confirms black, one of the rumored colors for watches.
Earlier rumors suggest that the watch has a rotating crown and, in some cases, two hidden buttons.
It’s a little hard to tell from the image above, but if this is a rumored watch, there’s at least one button next to the crown.
Looking at the image above, the watch band is its own Google band and seems to be very similar to an Apple Watch sports band like Jelly. This may mean that more colors may be displayed in the future. It also looks like it’s attached directly to the watch case.
This can make it difficult to replace the watch band. Especially if most of the other top Android smartwatches have more room in the standard watch band type.
There is no charger left on the watch, but you may be able to charge it from the back of the watch case. It’s also the billing method for Fitbit’s Versa 3 and Sense smartwatches (Fitbit is owned by Google) and the Apple Watch.
According to sources, the bottom “looks like metal, but feels like it’s coated with glass.”
The image above is a side-by-side comparison of a 40mm Apple Watch and a 46mm Galaxy Watch. After the story was published, the images were posted to Reddit by the source.
In this particular image shown above, you can see what looks like a prong in one of the band slots. This is just an engineering sample used for testing and may not be included in the product release.
I’m not sure, but you can also adopt the Qi standard for your watch to take advantage of wireless charging.
The watch didn’t have a charger, so I don’t know what’s going on inside.
The source showed that nothing happened beyond the boot logo when trying to turn it on. This can be seen in the image above. This may mean that your watch does not yet have an OS installed.
We know we’ll be using the new Wear OS 3 that Google co-developed with Samsung, but we can also expect Google to give the software its own Pixel-like spin.
Last but not least, we don’t know where Google plans to release the watch, but it could include North America, Canada and the EU.
According to this image, a small note at the bottom of the box says, “This device has not been approved as required by Federal Communications Commission and Innovation, Science and Economic Development regulations, and has also been tested for compliance with EU regulations. Not done. “
Also note that this model is “internal testing and development only” and “marking and packaging is not final”.
For privacy reasons, Android Central is blurring part of this box.
