Don’t expect a Google Pixel Watch announcement today
In This Article
We’re mere hours away from the official announcement of thePixel 6andPixel 6 Pro, but one thing we may not see accompanying those devices is aGoogle Pixel Watch.
Renowned leakerJon Prosserhas taken to Twitter to tell Wear OS fans not to expect the Pixel Watch at today’s event.
Pixel WatchDon’t expect it at the event tomorrow.Last I heard, it was delayed until Q1 2022.It’s still happening, just not tomorrow.https://t.co/Rd0dGN3yek
Prosser believes that we’ll have to wait until early 2022 for any solid word on the next-generation Wear OS watch.
That’s a bit of a bummer, especially for those of us who feel that the Pixel Watch ismore importantthan the Pixel 6. Google has seemingly taken its eye off its Wear OS division over the years, offering precious little competition to the mighty Apple Watch for the smartwatch throne.
The fact that it has never made its own Wear OS hardware hardly speaks to its interest or confidence in the platform. What’s more, theacquisition of Fitbitat the turn of the year initially gave off the impression that Google was rethinking the whole Wear OS smartwatch thing.
However, the reveal of theSamsung Galaxy Watch 4alongside Wear OS 3 in May gave new impetus to Google’s smartwatch platform. Now all we need is the official hardware to really lead us into a healthy two-platform smartwatch future.
Whenever it arrives, the Google Pixel Watch will makefull useof that Fitbit acquisition. We’ve also heard mention of a slim profile, an almost bezel-less display, and a single physical input.
Whatever the case, be sure to tune in to Google’s Pixel 6 launch event online from 10am PT (6pm UK time) – Google Pixel Watch announcement or no Google Pixel Watch announcement, it should be interesting.
