A smartwatch by Google, how fantastic is that? With Fitbit already on their court, rumour has it that Google is all set to launch their smartwatch in the upcoming year. The year 2022 will (most probably) mark the release of the Pixel Watch.
The claims of the Pixel Watch are nothing new! It has been the talk of the town for years. But the speculations were denied by Google. Now that it’s in the news again, let’s check out some of the details about Google’s (possible) first smartwatch as per the leaks.
Spring is the Month!
If things go as per the rumours, the Pixel watch may launch by the spring season in 2022. This information was revealed by Insider. While the chances are of a spring release, the dates may vary as per internal testing.
Possibly, we may witness a Pixel Watch release at the I/O conference, Google’s biggest event of the year. I/O conference happens around May. In this event, Google announces all their new launches. So, this year, the Pixel watch may be their product!
Round Pixel Watch
About the Pixel watch shape, rumour has it that Google Pixel may have a basic circular shape. The appearance may be somewhat similar to the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4. These details were manifested as per the leaked pictures by YouTuber Jon Prosser. Earlier, he also showed renderings of the watch as per the leaked images that he got from a source. The reports by Insider also say that we may also get additional features like changeable bands.
Possible Varieties
In 2018, a tech blog Winfuture speculated that Google might release multiple watches versions. Three, to be exact! However, the traits that differentiate these watches from each other are still unknown. They may differ as per size or any other feature like cellular connectivity. So besides the best 5G phones, these varieties may become the new talk of the town for their variation.
Health Tracking Features
Like most smartwatches, the Pixel watch may have basic health tracking features. Yes, the ones where you can track daily step counting, heart rate, and more. They may follow the software development trends to develop something innovative in health features.
They may also incorporate features from their other technologies to the Pixel watch. For example, the watch may have the detection feature of Google Nest Hub 2 for monitoring breathing and snoring at night. But again, advanced features may come with a subscription or premium version. You never know!
Battery and Running Platform
The battery life of the Pixel watch may have a lasting potential of one day. However, this means the watch may require a daily battery recharge. Similarly, Pixel Watch may run on Wear OS, their new platform launched along with Samsung at Google I/O 2021. This will ensure better performance, user interface, and integration with Google services.
Conclusion
So these were some of the sneak-peaks of Pixel watch as per the rumours. If Google comes up with their new watch, it will undoubtedly be amazing and feature-rich. While these are just the conjectures, let’s see what we get.
