In the smartwatch sector we had been waiting for this to happen for five years. Yes ok Manzana Y Samsung have monopolized the sector for almost a decade, it was missing that from the side of Android the giant responsible for the operating system dares with its own proposal.
The Pixel Watch, which comes with Wear OS, is more similar to the old Moto 360 with Android Wear than its new platform companions, such as the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 and Watch 5 Pro, not to mention the recently introduced Apple Watch Series 8 or Apple Watch SE 2nd Gen.
As has been rumored several times in recent months, the long-awaited Pixel Watch will apparently come in multiple colors.with black, silver and gold casings, as shown in the video published by Google today.
In case you’re wondering, there’s no sign yet that the Big G is planning to release the Pixel Watch in more than one size, which was found a few months ago to fit perfectly between a 40mm Apple Watch and a 40mm Apple Watch. Samsung Galaxy Watch 46mm.
Google seems determined not to display any UI elements, apps or use cases that might reveal the true thickness of the Pixel Watch’s screen borders, which remains a (somewhat concerning) mystery. Of course, it will take Android, right?
For this reason, we will have to wait anxiously the full announcement of October 6 and a commercial debut rumored to take place sometime in early November.

In the case of the Pixel Watch, this indicates that it will be for 350 euros… which would be somewhat expensive for a model that has to debut in a market saturated with options.
This is €50 less than what Apple normally charges for an entry-level Series 8 model, but it’s also substantially higher than the €280 base price of the cheapest version of Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 5. The smart watch of Google has a way to go.
