News & Reviews:   Google Pixel Watch

Previously, we reported that Google Maps on Wear OS 3 smartwatches now support turn-by-turn navigation without the need to link to a smartphone. Now, the Wear OS app has gotten another significant upgrade whereby users can let the display be continuously on while using Google Maps.

Despite only being released today, the Google Pixel Watch has been in public knowledge for quite some time now thanks to Google itself purposely ‘leaking’ details of the wearable. Officially launched during an event earlier today, the Pixel Watch comes in a single size, which is a 41mm case with a domed, scratch-resistant Gorilla Glass 5 crystal.

Google is gearing to launch the Pixel 7 series next week. Besides smartphones, the tech giant is also bringing the first Pixel smartwatch, which we have known how it looks completely through a promo video. Until now, the packaging box has been leaked as well, revealing a box design that is different from what we've seen from the others.

As we prepare to catch up on the next Apple Event this week, Google made its move by announcing the next Made by Google event. The schedule is 6 October 2022 at 10 AM ET, which is going to be at 10 PM on the same day for Malaysia's time zone.

The Google Pixel Watch, the tech giant’s first foray into the smartwatch market is set for release later this year and according to a new leak, it may not be the flagship wearable that Pixel fans have been craving for. Get this, the upcoming Pixel Watch may be powered by an almost 4-year old chip, the Exynos 9110 found in the first Samsung Galaxy Watch released back in 2018.

At the Google I/O 2022 event, multiple tech presentations were announced. This includes the Google Pixel Watch which has been rumoured about a few weeks prior to the event. It should be noted that this is Google's ever the first smartwatch under the Pixel brand so read on below to know more.

A few years back, smartwatches used to be the domain of only a few brands. Fast forward to 2021 and more brands have launched their smartwatches. Having said that, Google itself has never launched an in-house smartwatch. That could change in 2022 though.

Google is rumoured to launch its first smartwatch in October alongside the Pixel 6 and Pixel 5a. Before it happens, we've already seen some leaked renders that show off a casual sporty design rather than a premium stainless steel design. Now, a source has arrived claiming that the upcoming Pixel Watch will also use a Samsung's SoC.

Last week, it was rumoured that Google would finally launch its first Pixel Watch. The smartwatch has been in development for quite some time before being allegedly cancelled. But new renders of the device could mean that the device would be coming this year.

While Google is a big contributor to the Android open source project, the company doesn't make much in the way of actual hardware. A few years ago, Google and LG were working on a Pixel Watch but that it got cancelled in the end. Now, a new rumour claims that Google is going to launch it after all.
