Google Pixel Watch Leaked Again; Tipped To Feature Exclusive Wear OS Features

The Google-branded smartwatch could be available in a few months, suggests rumors and leaked marketing materials. A recent report goes into considerable detail on what to expect from the Google Pixel Watch next year, including software features and even a look at its processor.

Google would not use its Fitbit brand to promote the watch, as the company is working on its own Wear OS phone. A reference to ‘Pixel Experience Watch’ was made to signify exclusive functionalities, and it looks like this watch will follow in the footsteps of phones like the Pixel 6.

With the launch of its latest flagship phones, Google has finally started to take hardware seriously, with speculation above implying that it would take a similar approach with its watch. It makes sense for the company to keep its smartphone products under a single brand, just as it does its smart home products under the “Nest” nameplate.

We still don’t know much about the operating experience on this device. In fact, it’s hard to imagine what Wear OS 3 looks like without Samsung’s One UI skin. But that is likely to change with the launch of the Google Pixel smartwatch.

For one thing, rumors suggest that the newer version of Assistant, which debuted with the Pixel 4, could make an appearance. It would allow voice commands and searches to run immediately on the watch, rather than having to connect to the smartphone for every activity.

Also, the upcoming Google Pixel Watch will be powered by an Exynos microprocessor. According to AP’s Max Weinbach, it will contain a Tensor-branded version of the 5nm chipset now found in the Watch4 series. It should be noted that the Tensor chipset found in the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro is essentially a modified Exynos processor, and this wearable could employ a similar approach.

Overall, the upcoming introduction of some long-awaited Google wearable technologies promises to make 2022 an interesting year for smartwatch fans. Not only will the Google Pixel Watch be available in stores, but Wear OS 3 will finally be available on devices other than the Galaxy Watch4.
